One of Matthew Yglesias‘ BlogAds encourages people to sign a petititon to get Howard Dean on the Democratic ticket as Vice President. I encourage all of you to sign it.

The petititon asks why Howard Dean should be on the ticket, in 25 words or less. My answer, with 14 words to spare: “Because he’s a friggin’ loon and it would help Bush win.” Feel free to use it.
