On the eve of Thanksgiving, Howard Dean writes about the troops in an email to his supporters. No, Dr. Dean doesn’t find space to thank those who are serving our country–it’s just an opportunity to rail against the “shameful policy” of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Oh, and ask for donations:

They will celebrate together, but they won’t be equal because gays who serve in our nation’s military have to follow the rules of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” It’s a shameful policy that treats these American heroes as second class citizens and it’s past time to repeal it.
