(2004-01-04) — Democrat presidential frontrunner Howard Dean today blamed President George Bush for what he called “the Job-less New Testament.”
The criticism follows Mr. Dean’s admission this week that his favorite book in the New Testament was Job. An hour later he told reporters that he had misspoken since Job is part of the Old Testament. But today he displayed his characteristic combativeness in claiming that “the Job-less New Testament is Bush’s fault just like the jobless economic recovery.”
“The Bush administration would like us all to focus on the Good News,” said Mr. Dean, “But if you don’t have a Job, it’s harder to enjoy New Testament. Many scholars suggest that Bush policies are to blame for the Job loss.”
