A lesson learned?

This New York Time's piece may explain a bit of the desperation of the Democrats shown at Coretta Scott King's funeral, but I found this quote regarding the Abramoff scandal from Howard Dean interesting:

"We're going to keep hammering this," said Mr. Dean, the party chairman, referring to the scandals. "One thing the Republicans have taught us is that values and character matter."

Glad we could teach you something there Dean. Heh.
