The New Republic's Jonathan Chait is no fan of the president, but as of late, the mental space in Chait's head that contained his Bush-hatred has been overrun by his increasing hatred for Dean. About two weeks ago he started a blog to follow Dean's campaign and to critique it from a democrat's perspective. Here's a snippet from the 'What is Diary of a Dean-o-Phobe' entry.
Bush is like the next-door neighbor who lets his dog poop on your lawn and his kid shoot bb's at your house and who says something irritating to you every day on his way to work. Dean, on the other hand, is like the ne'er-do-well who's dating your daughter. You realize the neighbor is a worse person than the boyfriend, but the boyfriend (and the frightening prospect that he'll become your son-in-law) consumes more of your attention.
Also, the boyfriend has a creepy smile.
