Ok, I'll say it. Letterman complimented Dean. I like the way he did it.

[madfloridian]

And Maureen Dowd refused to even say Dean's name. She insulted Judy Dean, Howard Dean backed out of an interview, never did have it with her, and she will not mention his name.

Letterman was sincere about the fact that Dean just sits down and tells you what he thinks....why can't politics be that way...paraphrased.

1. I wish we had a Clark/Dean ticket right now.

At least they OPPOSED THE DAMN War and are NOT freinds with John Mckkkain!!!

:grr:

10. Bless you brother

That would rock! But I think Kerry is a real gut fighter and we know he's a strong finisher. So I'm on board and 'reporting for duty.' Besides, I think Clark would be a stellar Secty. of Defense. How about Dean for HHS. What a powerful cabinet. Oh, and Rubin for Treasury.

2. bartcop says of modo that "she hates everybody"...

I saw her on "Real Time" with Bill Maher on satellite and was not impressed.

How Cool that Letterman "complimented Dean". Thanks for this, madfloridian.

3. It was so sincere, and I appreciated it.

I detest Dowd, and she was ugly to Kerry. But I did like what Letterman said....it sort of summed him up nicely....he just sits down and tells you what he thinks. Yep, that is what he does.

4. "he just sits down and tells you what he thinks..."

AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS!!!!!

Or so reads the memo.

7. But we know differently.

Maybe we need more folks to do that now.

[Eloriel]

11. And it's even better because he thinks so WELL

and CLEARLY.

But you already know what I think about the man. ;-)

[madfloridian]

5. Oh, he mentioned him several times. Said he really liked him.

I was surprised. Dowd ignored him. Totally.

[KelleyKramer]

6. Yes, you couldnt say it better!

Bartcop has her nailed.. she hates EVERYBODY.

[mondo joe]

8. What, did Judy Dean offer garlic to VAMPIRA?

[madfloridian]

9. Judy had the nerve to be a physician who wanted her life private.

Ooh, that was one ugly column. Dean backed out of a phone interview and never apologized. He "dissed" Dowd. She will never mention his name.
