Howie Dean is Upset with His PR Machine

The MSM is not on Howie Dean's good buddy list, in fact he thinks they ought to be barred from Presidential Candidate's meetings.
The head of the Democratic Party said Wednesday that the best way to get presidential candidates to talk frankly about issues is to lock out the media.

During the Mortgage Bankers Association conference, a banker expressed frustration with candidates who only talk in sound bites and wondered how that could be changed. Howard Dean, once a presidential candidate, offered a simple solution.

"I suggest you have candidates in to meetings like this and bar the press," Dean said.

...

"The media has been reduced to info-tainment," Dean said. "Info-tainment sells, the problem is they reach the lowest common denominator instead of forcing a little education down our throats, which we are probably in need of from time to time."

Dean was considered a strong contender for the 2004 Democratic nomination, but after finishing third in the Iowa caucuses, he gave a speech that included a rant punctuated by a scream. The clip was shown repeatedly on television and became the subject of late-night jokes.

Dean said politicians live in fear that their words will be twisted for the sake of headlines.

No, Howie doesn't really fear that the candidate's words will be twisted, he is more afraid that they speak the truth of their real views and these views will cost them votes. Howie should know, he has made some outrageous statements, which were printed/read on the news, and when the public heard them, they were appalled. The biggest fear that the Donks have is that he general public will find out what they really feel on the issues, when all the double speak and rhetoric is stripped away, the American people will find that Donk candidates don't care about them, that they hate America, that they want to control all aspects of our lives, that socialism is a religion to them and that they only care about power.

Howie is afraid that the truth will be revealed, and that can't happen if the Donks want to stay in power.

Oh, and by the way, nice scream Howie, I caught it TV.
