Smackdown
Last night on Fox News' Your World show, Neil Cavuto interviewed Bill Bennett. Of Howard Dean, Bennett said that he is the second best debater in the Democratic party (behind Mario Cuomo).
Last night in Portland, Ore., Richard Perle, noted foreign policy adviser and much-reviled (by the left) neocon, debated Dean on foreign policy. Of the mismatch, at least on paper, we needn't say much. As of this writing I don't know the outcome of the debate itself; but we do have it from an eye-witness that some of Portland's renowned deep thinkers were in the audience.
Powerline reports on the zany antics of a Deaniac:
AP also filed a story on the shoe hurler.
It appears that the debate will air on C-Span on Saturday, February 26. Set your Tivos.

Powerline reports on the zany antics of a Deaniac:
The highlight of the report is when some 52 year old Democrat threw a shoe at Richard Perle while screaming "mother f****** liar" numerous times as the police dragged him out of the debate hall.

UPDATE: Roger L. Simon comments on the debate:
I saw a bit of the debate between Howard Dean and Richard Perle. I must say that I find Howard entertaining, but he is a dreadful politician in one sense -- the ability to win over those on the other side (I don't think Perle is particularly distinguished at this either, but he's not running for any office that I know of or acting as a party official). Dean is the opposite of Clinton in that regard or even of Bush, who up close seems to be better than his reputation at coopting his opposition. I'd like a guy Dean for a drinking partner, but not on my side if I were trying to get something done.
