Okay, I was pissed before when Drudge splashed that Where's Mrs Dean? headline on his site, but I figured it was probably just him being the asshole that he is.
Turns out, it's what the NY Times thinks is FRONT PAGE NEWS:
(from Drudge)
NYT PAGE ONE SPLASH SET FOR TUESDAY: Dr. Judith Steinberg Dean has developed an unusual role as political spouse: Absent...
# Steinberg has stood by her husband's side at a political event exactly once...
# Dean, for his part, rarely utters her name, even to say thanks, in public speeches...
# She skipped Dean's birthday-party fund-raiser, the family-oriented Renaissance Weekend, even the emotional repatriation ceremony of his brother's remains in Hawaii...
# Though Steinberg and their children are Jewish, Dean campaigned through Yom Kippur...
# Steinberg has been asked why she does not accept new Medicaid patients...
I think it is important to take note of how that last bullet point will play out (re: Medicaid patients). I doubt Geppy or someone else in Iowa would be stupid enough to use that against HoHo, but this
is the American political system we're talking about.
As for the DraftHilary ad that comes out saying "Howard Dean, Dr. Assisted Suicide for the Democratic Party"... well, there's a finger waving in your direction, and an extra 100 bucks on its way to the Dean campaign
