                          THERE HE GOES AGAIN

  (Mrs. BLACKBURN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, yesterday I came to the floor to ask my 
colleagues across the aisle to speak out against their party leader 
Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean. I listed a few of 
the absolutely ridiculous, and in many cases offensive, comments he has 
made since January, but apparently I spoke too soon. It appears that 
Mr. Dean was not through embarrassing himself and his party and in the 
process offending millions of Americans.
  Yesterday, in an interview, he said Republicans, and I am quoting 
here, ``all behave the same, and they all look the same. It's pretty 
much a white Christian party.''
  Mr. Speaker, today he defended those remarks. And what is more, the 
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi), the minority leader, said 
that she thought Chairman Dean was ``doing a good job.''
  All I can say is that I hope the Members across the aisle will let 
the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi) know that Howard Dean 
should not be given a pass for his behavior, it is unacceptable, and it 
is offensive.
