(2003-08-04) -- Gov. Howard Dean cemented his Democrat presidential frontrunner status today when he healed a man of leprosy then walked across the surface of a small lake to his next campaign appearance.
The Vermont Governor also shocked the pundits with his simultaneous appearance on the covers of Time, and Newsweek.
Print journalists are writing about all the Dean talk and broadcast reporters are talking about all the ink he's getting.
"Momentum is everything in politics," said one unnamed political consultant. "Dean has grabbed it by doing startling things like criticizing the President, and rolling up his shirtsleeves. You should see the forearms on that guy."
Professional journalists continue to chronicle the miracles performed by this former medical internist. Besides healing lepers and walking on water "Dr." Dean has also raised hundreds of thousands of dollars on the Internet -- a feat previously accomplished only by online pornographers and gambling companies.
Actor-Director Mel Gibson has optioned a script about the last 12 hours of Howard Dean's life.

Howard Dean is quite a man.
I hear tell that he went to Crawford, Texas and called out the Prez to a bout of fisticuffs. Bush declined. Had some wood to chop, they said.

I believe we are experiencing a campaigner right on our own 'puter screens. Hey 'george', how much is your salary, roughly? You're really good.

One comment and it is a circus. Oh the fear of an open discussion in this forum. Of course I showed what a dumby Dean is. Oops, he is NOT going to be the next Prez. Sorry libbies. But by all means dream on.
Hey,
Mr. President. I want you to know I fully support the movement to have your face put on Mt Rushmore with your peers.

Russert: You said that your son got in a scrap. He was arrested for driving a car in which some of his friends broke into a beer cooler and stole some beer...
Dean: Right.
Russert: ...and was indicted. How are you...
Dean: He hasn’t been indicted, but he...
Russert: Cited.
Dean: He’s been cited, right.
Russert: But how are you as a father dealing with that?
Dean: Well, I’m not very happy about it. I think that 17-year-olds sometimes do extraordinarily foolish things and this is an example of that….http://www.msnbc.com/news/912159.asp?cp1=1
Hmmm, when a Dems child, “17-year-olds sometimes do extraordinarily foolish things.”
But, when a Republicans child?

Just a sample and not including mentions of Chelsea Clintons drunken escapades, which also went pretty much unreported. Am I the only one who can remember all the front page headlines when the Bush daughters were caught drinking? Yet, when a Democrat Presidential Candidates child, it isn’t news? But, just an extraordinarily foolish thing?
Please note, Bush’s daughters tried to pay for it, Deans son was stealing it. Wonder were he learned to steal?

So ok for a demos 17year old to steal as long as he doesn't get caught.
Got it.
