Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean on Wednesday sought to turn the chaos of Hurricane Katrina into a benefit for Democrats, decrying Republican priorities and telling black pastors in Miami that race played a ''significant role'' in the storm's death toll.

But Dean, in remarks interrupted several times by applause, charged that Republicans in Congress and the Bush administration have not done enough to combat poverty. The pictures of primarily black storm evacuees huddled at the dank Superdome and stranded on rooftops, Dean charged, showed ``the ugly truth that skin color, age and economics played a significant role in who survived and who did not.''

I would post some pithy quotes by Lyndon Johnson, Huey Long, Big Jim Folsom and other prominent Democrat racists but I don't want to use bad language here.
 
American national Democrats have already voted on Dean, he didn't make the cut. Perhaps they had good instincts where he is concerned?

Last I heard, he's the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, a not-insignificant position.
