HOWARD DEAN: In trouble for dishonesty on the war. Er, but not this war. Bad timing — this sort of thing would have been overlooked a few months ago, but now the next story is “frontrunner stumbles,” and Dean’s playing into their hands.

Furthermore, if Dean thinks that he can cover his flank on this war by invoking Vietnam, he’s crazy.

UPDATE: Robin Roberts emails that this makes Dean’s “slip” look a bit more premeditated.
