This might be the single most incoherent raving by a political figure I've seen in the last six months:
America is about to revisit one of the most turbulent decades in its history, Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean told a religious conference in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. "We're about to enter the '60s again," Dean said, but he was not referring to the Vietnam War or racial tensions.
Dean said he is looking for "the age of enlightenment led by religious figures who want to greet Americans with a moral, uplifting vision."
"The problem is when we hit that '60s spot again, which I am optimistic we're about to hit, we have to make sure that we don't make the same mistakes," Dean added.
Here's an idea: If we don't want to repeat the mistakes of the '60s, let's not go there. This is 2006. Let's try to make it to 2007. That seems like a pretty good direction.
