Dean's wife doesn't look like a first lady.

[IranianDemocrat]

I think this is going to hurt him in the long run.

1. Blah blah blah...

...Eleanor Roosevelt was no beauty queen either.

Later.

RJS

[molly]

6. Yes, but she had the friends and the breeding

after all, they were cousins.

[teknomanzer]

13. I was going to say something about Eleanor too...

Although I think Dean's wife is a little easier on the eyes. With that said... just what the hell is a first lady supposed to look like?! This is crap.

[Clete]

28. Yes. How about Mamie Eisenhower.

Or Bess Truman for that matter, or Barbara Bush.

I think the other Dr. Dean is a perfect first lady for our times, one who has a profession that is important enough not to have drop just because she has to act as a hostess for her husband. Which brings me to, what exactly does Pickles do?

[arcos]

2. oh please...!

:boring:

[Ohio Dem]

3. What does a first lady look like?

Like Barbara Bush? Like Hillary? Like Jackie? Like Mary Todd?

[dorktv]

4. Um...She saves lives...That counts for more then TAKING lives

in my book. :)

[Isome]

5. That observation has no merit.

She's female, and that's the only requisite for a first lady!

[molly]

12. Goodness sakes!

would a male be embarrassed to have Pamela Anderson as first lady?

[graham67]

7. I don't think....

her appearance is relevent to a campaign at all. :shrug:

[Jacobin]

8. This board is getting to be as vacuous as freeper land

I swear to god.

[KoKo]

27. I agree Jacobin.....plus we already had a thread about Dean's wife & her

first lady eligability. We don't need another one. Who looks like a first lady anyway? We aren't ever going to see another Jackie Kennedy......

[GOPisEvil]

9. Huh???

:wtf:

Uh, ok...whatever you say...

[pruner]

10. what if she were to go kill one of her ex-boyfriends…

would she look more like a first lady then?

idiot.

[Pavlovs DiOgie]

11. Thank goodness

Cuz I'm tired of the "First Lady" types. Let's have a president and first lady who aren't the typical Washington types.

Here's a radio interview with Mrs. Dean. She sounds as down to earth as she looks. Definitely not your polished politician's wife, but heck, Howard isn't polished either. That's one of his appealing qualities.

[Gin]

44. She is very down to earth....when he gets the nomination....and then wins.

life is gonna change Judy....forever.

[cherryperry]

14. I Cannot Believe This Thread Is Here!

IranianDemocrat: whatsamattau?

Are you that shallow or is she "too Jewish" for your tastes?


:mad: :grr:

[leesa]

15. Only if you think like a Republican

Pathetic

[southern democrat]

16. George Bush dosen't look like a first gentleman

but we got whitle-ass anyway

[southern democrat]

17. George Bush dosen't look like a first gentleman

but we got whitle-ass anyway

[Sean Reynolds]

18. Gosh, a working woman who isn't a sheep like Laura! Or Barb, or Nancy!

Gosh, she can't be a first lady! :eyes:

[dorktv]

22. Laura is not a sheep...she is just heavily drugged.

[5thGenDemocrat]

19. Are you saying someone is shallow enough

To not vote for someone based on what his wife looks like? I'm sure Dean has already written off those two or three votes.
John
FWIW, I think she looks a bit like Marilyn Quayle. Doesn't mean I wouldn't vote for Dean because of it. I mean, one of them married a doctor and, by most accounts, a good man. The other married Dan Quayle.

[IranianDemocrat]

20. Holy Shit I never thought I'd get flamed like this.

lmao

[KoKo]

31. You put a post out that any candidates wife doesn't look like a first lady

and don't give any other reasons or soften what you are saying with a list of qualities you would like to see......you just put a one sentence post out there? What did you expect? :-(

[ixion]

21. two words...

Nancy Reagan.

[stickdog]

23. That's Dr. First Lady to you. (NT)

[TennesseeWalker]

24. Oh, GIVE me a BREAK!

It's way past time for America to grow up and stop being a spoiled adolescent.

[southern democrat]

29. Whats's the problem with having a little fun?

[KoKo]

39. Fun? Fun? You call that fun? A one liner thrown out on this Dem Board?

There's lots of "fun" to be had down in the Lounge. But up here in GD saying a candidates wife will hurt him because she doesn't look like a First Lady....is really low down and mean........if that's your idea of fun????????:eyes:

[LeftCoast]

25. I just have to say I think Dean's wife would make an AMAZING 1st Lady

She is a career woman. A Dr. with patients who has maintained her practice throughout her husbands political career. They've also managed to raise kids. Sounds a lot like the rest of America.

[Ein]

26. OH cmon!

Barbara was a wrinkled prune and Hillary looked damn goofy in 92, as well (imo).

[w13rd0]

30. in the "long run"?

i guess in the long run, every man should have a stepford wife on his shoulder, because that really proves he's entitled and able to run the country...

whatever, stupid juvenile thread...care to elaborate, or hell, just participate in the moronic thread started? Perhaps investigate changing the nick to Janklow...

[IndianaGreen]

32. She looks like the Jewish doctor she is

Bend over! Say Ahhhh!

[DS1]

33. Wow, that's deep man

I mean, really deep, like Stephen Hawking would experience the BSOD trying to wrap that logic around mere letters and words, because words are really insufficient in regards to describing how that works, did you come to this conclusion yourself? Oh my. You must be one terrifically smart human being, how did we ever fail to recognize this in the past?

Do you have any more brilliant observations? I'd love to hear what else you have tucked away in that vast chasm of knowledge between your ears..

/Stewie

[Paragon]

34. Read the article

She'd rather not be a First Lady (and who could blame her), but she's sticking by her husband through it all.

Yeah, what a detriment. :eyes:

[Alenne]

35. lib864ever posted a thread like this on DU1

http://www.democraticunderground.com/cgi-bin/duforum/duboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=14887&forum=DCForumID70&archive=yes


"Dean's wife doesn't look First Lady like
She looks like she doesnt know what is going on half the time and definitly doesnt look like she would make a good first lady. She also needs to dress the part IE: Tipper, Hillary, Laura."

[CMT]

36. lets see

a strong independent woman who happens to enjoy a successful career as a doctor and doesn't like the limelight and you think this will hurt him? I think not.

[True_Blue]

37. I think she looks like a really nice person

Most of the First Ladies remind me of the Stepford Wives.

[onehandle]

38. Gee...

Bored, are we?

[SoCalDem]

40. We were lucky to have had ONE Jackie Kennedy, but she was NOT the norm..

Most first ladies are going to be fifty-ish grandmotherly types..

A young president may have a wife in her 40's, but until we get a president of 42, with a wife 10 yrs younger, we are unlikely to ever have another glamorous first lady..

Most will be presentable, but not babes :)

We need to grow up , as a nation, and quit looking at the wrapping, instead of the gift :)

[Mari333]

41. Intelligent, Brilliant, Doctor and mother

a REAL woman in the WH, not a Stepford wife..


LONGGGGG OVERDUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Poisonskin23]

42. haha

Thought that was regis philbin for a second there.

[dean4america]

43. pure b.s.

this is the kind of post that gives DU a bad name.

[IranianDemocrat]

45. Jesus Christ people.

What ever happenned to having a decent debate about image in politics?

[Paragon]

59. If "a decent debate about image in politics" ever existed...

...you just killed it.

[w4rma]

46. *Why* do you think that?

She's pretty. She is totally apolitical. She's a medical doctor. She's incredibly smart.

Are you saying that because she's a doctor instead of a lawyer (Sen. Clinton) she doesn't look like a first lady?

[IranianDemocrat]

49. That's how I see it.

Sorry but If Dean get's elected as the nominee, which he probably will, image is going to play a huge role and I don;t know about the image I see on that website and how it will play with the sheeple.

[CMT]

57. thankfully

most thinking people are not as shallow as you.

[bloom]

47. She looks just fine

:eyes:

[kentuck]

48. I guess you don't remember Eleanor Roosevelt or Rosalyn Carter ??

?? I don't see your point.

[fla nocount]

50. Beautiful woman........reminds me of my S.O.

A stunning Jewess of the Bawstun persuasion on the gentle side of 50. What's this post doing here? Just a question.

[ScreamingMeemie]

51. That's because she's not one....yet.

Give her the name, and it'll fit. :)

[Tinoire]

52. C'Mon Iranian Democrat

You need a new job or something! Turn on the TV, read a Clark blog, or I don't know- dust the book-shelves maybe?


I really like that woman...

Dean's wife is one of my favorite things about him. Go figure :shrug:

[IranianDemocrat]

56. I just wanted to have a debate about image in politics.

Never knew I'd get flamed so much.

[RetroLounge]

53. What a bunch of crap. Her Looks? Who cares.

Last I checked, the only requirement to be a First Lady was being married to the (next) President.

She is, and will be.

Get a life, IranianDemocrat...

[Woodstock]

54. What does a first lady look like?

:eyes:

Get a life.

[KG]

55. this is some sick shit.

the candidate wars just hit a new low.

though, i'm sure new depths will be reached before the election.

[buff2]

61. Pathetic,isn't it?

Personal attacks is what the repukeliKKKans do best.Geesus...

[buff2]

58. And what does Clark's wife look like?

Geesus.....I can't believe some of these threads. I have to check occasionally to make sure I'm not in freeperland. :puke:

[IndianaGreen]

60. Have you seen Clark's wife?

Just kidding! :evilgrin:

And with apologies and a great head bow of recognition and admiration for Sister Roxanne Roles and the other Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

[Bozita]

62. Maybe Xanax and a make-over might make her look more like Pickles.

Mrs. Dean actually makes positive contributions to her country every day.

[Clark Can WIN]

63. Why on earth would you attack his wife

based on her looks? What were you thinking? If you want to have a thread on image in politics, call your thread image in politics and then make more than one observation. This is just an attack on an innocent based on her appearance.

To the woodshed with you.:spank:
