Legislature Forced Dean to Honor Martin Luther King Jr.

It's becoming increasingly clear why Howard Dean refuses to open his vault of secrets in Vermont.

"It took until 2001 for Vermont to celebrate Martin Luther King's birthday as a full-fledged holiday and shut state offices in his honor - and only after the state Legislature forced then-Gov. Howard Dean to cut a deal with state unions, records show," the New York Post reported today.

Imagine the leftist outrage if President Bush had such a record.

This latest humiliation to the Democrat front-runner follows the news that, despite his initial lie, he had kept a lily-white Cabinet through his dozen years as governor of the nation's most Guilty White Liberal state.

White Democrats to Black D.C.: Drop Dead

By the way, Dean and all of the other white men who are the only ones with a shot at the Democrat nomination are snubbing the District of Columbia's presidential "primary" today. As NewsMax noted last year, plantation boss Terry McAuliffe and his white-dominated Democratic National Committee, terrified that Al Sharpton would do well, forced the D.C. Dems to demote their primary to a non-binding "beauty contest," thus keeping the focus on overwhelmingly white Iowa and New Hampshire.

Sharpton is the only candidate campaigning in person in the overwhelmingly black city, the Washington Times reported today, meaning even McAuliffe's joke candidate, Carol Moseley Braun, is boycotting.

And the party establishment is still trying to figure out why more and more younger blacks are sitting out elections or even fleeing the plantation.
