DNC Chief Determined to Uphold Losing Tradition -- from the Borowitz Report[hee hee! Borowitz outdid himself this time!]
Amid a growing belief that there is no way the Democrats can blow the 2008 presidential election, Democratic National Committee chief Howard Dean sought today to reassure the party faithful that the party was “doing everything in its power” to uphold its losing tradition.
At a top-level summit called “Defeat: 2008” being held in Boston, the former Vermont Governor gave a rousing speech to concerned Democrats, bringing his audience to his feet by vowing, “I can assure each and every one of you, we will find a way to screw this up.”
With President Bush’s approval rating below thirty percent and none of the Republican presidential contenders stirring the public’s imagination, many Democrats have been worried that their historic role as losers and sad sacks might come to an abrupt end in 2008, a fear Mr. Dean attempted to quell today.
“Folks, let’s not forget, we’re Democrats,” Mr. Dean said. “If there’s a way to lose, we will find it.”
Carol Foyler, a longtime Democrat from Bethesda, Maryland who attended the summit, said that she had been worried that the Democrats might somehow pull out a victory in 2008, but added, “Just knowing that Howard Dean is in charge makes me feel much more confident about losing.”

Nothing like taking the positive approach. I can't stand him anyway. He's a tool.
oops--
hope you didn't take this romp seriously, Phil.
if so, you aren't the first. I've sent Borowitz out in emails before -- and folks thought his stuff was real.
he's a humor columnist who often strays _way_ too close to the truth. I guess this is one of those times.
mebbe I ought to stick to 'just the facts, ma'am.'
No, you're doing fine two crows, I enjoy this, so don't stop!
it IS hilarious, isn't it, LT?
if it just didn't ring so damned true!
I do so hope that Borowitz was not being serious, for the first time in his life. ;-)
