Okay, this is rich. In the AP story about Howard Dean, this appears:
"Privately, people have said they don't want Howard Dean to become the story because we have more important issues to talk about," said Donna Brazile, who managed Al Gore's presidential campaign in 2000.Here's a thought for Donna. If people are saying things privately, and you tell the press, well, they are not private anymore. And you feed the story. You get your name in the paper, but it doesn't really help.
"But publicly we will continue to give Howard Dean our strong support," she said.
So how about this, Donna.....Don't talk to the press about what people are saying privately. Maybe, just maybe, it would be better to not say anything. Howard Dean became the story because leading Democrats talked to the press, just like you did today. There are a lot of things that people say and do privately that should be kept private. And for most of us, there is no distinction between public and private when it comes to supporting an aggressive, hard hitting and pro-active DNC Chair.
