Commandante Dean Plans His Coup

Have no fear for Jimmy Carter's advancing years or failing health, a new and improved Carter is waiting in the wings to continue the legacy of back room deals with the most repellent leaders in the world...

Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean has been meeting with world leaders to repair "the extraordinary damage" that the Bush administration has done to America's image and to prepare the way for a new Democratic president.

"I am trying to build relationships with other governments in preparation for a Democratic takeover," Dean told me. "I want to make clear that there is an opposition in America and that we are ready to take power and that when we do, we are going to have much better relationships with them."
