Q:  What’s the difference between a Democrat and a Socialist?
A:  There’s a difference?
Folks, Benedict Jeffords is retiring.  (And good riddance too, if you ask me.)
So who does Chairman YEAARRRRRRRGH!!! of the Demoscum recommend to take his place?
Why, the only admitted  socialist Congresscritter on the Hill, of course.
Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean is endorsing a Socialist to replace retiring Vermont Senator Jim Jeffords.
“A victory for Bernie Sanders is a win for Democrats,” Dean told Vermont’s Bennington Banner in a telephone interview Monday.
Naturally, Dr. Howeird.  Professional courtesy, after all.  The same reason vipers don’t bite attorneys, y’know.
Reminded that Rep. Sanders is not a member of his party, Dean quickly backpedaled, explaining, “We’ve got a few things to work out with Bernie. Bernie’s not a Democrat.”
What’s the big deal, Screaming Flea?  Neither are you – at least, not in the classic sense.
Asked to explain what he needs to work out with Sanders, Dean said: “I’d rather tell him in person.”
Quite right.  It’s a little more difficult to blow kisses over the phone.
Sanders’ official party affiliation is Independent, but throughout his political career the left-wing Vermonter has repeatedly referred to himself as a “democratic-socialist.”
Despite their political differences, Dean stood by his endorsement, calling Sanders “a strong candidate.”
Refer back to the top of this post.  Differences?  There are differences?
