Howard Dean for US Senate

Although I must admit Howard Dean's line urging Tom DeLay to head back to Houston to serve jail time was warmly received by this clipmonkey, Dean has proven himself to be a poor spokesman both as a presidential candidate and now as the head of the Democratic Party. He is not the type to regurgitate talking points or stay on message. It's just not in his plain-spoken nature.

So what would be a good job for Howard Dean? US Senator. He would be the perfect person to fill the void left by Paul Wellstone. He could fire up the diehard libs, piss off conservatives, and ensure that Jim Jeffords' seat ends up in the hands of a real Democrat. Bernie Sanders has long been an intriguing figure on the left, but he's a little too reminiscent of another rumpled figure who once served in the House of Representatives- beam me up, Scotty.
