The Boston Globe reports, DNC chair Howard Dean was in Boston last night for a fundraiser and fired back at Vice President Cheney saying, "I don't care if Dick Cheney likes my mother or not; we are going to fight back Š I think it's great that Dick Cheney went after me." Dean spoke to 300 Democrats at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel and raised $250,000 at the event. Republicans protested outside with signs that read ''Dean Is Mean" ''Dean is Nuts," and ''Say No to Mr. Scream.

The AP adds from last evening that Dean criticized Gov. Romney's flip flopping on issues such as abortion and gay marriage.

The Boston Herald also covered the event quoting Dean commenting on Republican politics, "they say they want small government, but their government is just big enough to fit inside Terri Schiavo's bed in the nursing home."
