WON'T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR?

Biblical expert and reinvigorated Christian Howard Dean somehow missed the point of the parable of the Good Samaritan; he's now picking and choosing his neighbors:
Dale Ungerer, a retiree from Hawkeye, Iowa, lectured Dean for nearly three minutes near the end of a forum....

''Please tone down the garbage, the mean-mouthing, the tearing down of your neighbor and being so pompous,'' Ungerer told Dean. ''You should help your neighbor and not tear him down.''

''George Bush is not my neighbor,'' Dean replied.

''Yes, he is,'' Ungerer said, to which Dean responded: ''You sit down. You've had your say, and now I'm going to have my say.''

I suppose Dean would have passed by on the other side, too.
