Should the upcoming liberal network give Dean a show?
I'm slightly bummed about the final nails being hammered into Dean's coffin by the Sunday "liberal media" whores. Most of them seem to agree that passion isn't presidential and if you show any emotion at all you're unelectable. I don't particularly buy it, and I still think Dean has a chance of pulling it off even in the face of constant attacks by the media. The fact is the media is screaming infinitely louder than Dean ever did, and IMO they are the "crazy" ones. Regardless, the gods have spoken.

If Dean doesn't win the nomination I think he should create a show for the new liberal radio network that we've been hearing about. Dean has the passion, the ideals and the speaking voice to put together a killer show. I don't really see him being happy with a cabinet position, I think he'll do well, and be the happiest if he has a voice. The new network will be perfect for him, he'll be able to talk with the people directly, and he'll finally BE the media. It will be very sad if he just fades away into history.

Anyone else agree?

1. I love Dean
But he isn't an entertainer. I think the show would be pretty much of a snore.

2. I don't think Pres. Dean will have time - maybe after his 8 years are over
but I don't think ex-presidents usually do that sort of thing. But on the other hand, he and Bill Clinton might be swell at helping the next Democrat get elected after Dean's term is over.

We need it to make an impact before November, of course.
