Dean Now Under A Sharper Scope
After a year of upbeat profiles depicting him as a straight-talking, rabble-rousing, Bush-bashing maverick, Howard Dean is starting to get slapped around by the press.Didn’t Bush know less? I don’t think anyone’s made that comparrison. Does this excuse not knowing this stuff? Nope. Do I know it? Nope. Am I running for president? Depends on the results of my ‘listening tour’.Now that the former long shot has boosted himself into the top tier of Democratic presidential candidates, journalists are diagnosing the good doctor’s fumbles and foibles with microscopic precision. And his sometimes testy relations with the Fourth Estate aren’t helping.
“He doesn’t suffer reporters or fools gladly,” says Jake Tapper, who has profiled Dean and wrote about him last week for the New York Times op-ed page. “He doesn’t like to play the Washington game. He doesn’t make an effort to charm reporters.”
“It’s a personality thing in part,” says Paul West, the Baltimore Sun’s Washington bureau chief. “He’s not much of a schmoozer.”
…
Glen Johnson of the Boston Globe says Dean aides were “splitting hairs” in objecting to a story in which he reported that Dean, having expressed “regret” for remarks about Sen. Bob Graham, had apologized. “They mirror their candidate’s personality in their defense of him,” Johnson says. Mark Barabak of the Los Angeles Times says Dean got “a bit testy” during an interview about his inconsistent statements and “is someone who doesn’t like to be challenged.”
These incidents paled, however, compared with Dean’s latest drop-by on “Meet the Press.” Russert seemed offended when the candidate could not name the number of people on active duty in the armed forces (Dean correctly ventured that it was between 1 million and 2 million).
“That’s like asking me who the ambassador to Rwanda is,” Dean snapped.
“Oh, no, no, no. Not at all. Not if you want to be commander in chief,” Russert shot back.
27-Year-Old Man Poses as Teenage Girl
Police are trying to find a grown man who is impersonating a teenage girl. They say he told all sorts of lies and convinced several families to let him live with them. He is now accused of a sex crime.I remember hearing about this a while back, maybe a year? It’s old news, I think.Even the detective working on the case says he has never seen anything like this before. Taylor Police say the 27-year-old man has been posing as a 13-year-old girl for several months. He has many aliases but is known to call himself “Lalani.”
He is 6-feet-1-inch tall, about 180 pounds, and yet he still manages to fool a lot of people.
The most sensual of all, Saxophone, you are also
the weirdest and can be quite complex. You are
proud, and you love to fool around. Sax is
known to be intruiguing, but rude at times,
they’re delicate and sensitive, and they don’t
like to be annoyed.
