Howard Dean on CNBC: I became the front runner and then “all you in the media had some fun at my expense.” He also said “I was the only one opposing George Bush for an awfully long time.” What a whiner. I noticed this on MSNBC, too. The notion that they’ve been bashing me for three weeks now, of course I’m at 18 percent. Earth to Howard: if you can’t stand three weeks of heat from your friends, how can you beat Bush?
