Sludge:WIFE WILL NOT JOIN DNC CHAIRMAN

[janx]

HOWARD DEAN IN WASHINGTON


How much more desperate can the right wingnuts get? :shrug:

http://drudgereport.com/flash3hd.htm

Freepers, of course, are positively ecstatic...

[Renew Deal]

1. Whatever. Where does Melmans boyfriend live?

Or Orin Hatch's wife or any DC politician?

[n2mark]

27. So,

why is this an issue, the RNC and DNC have never posed this a problem before. Strange, it is an issue now. So, where is the wife of the leader of the RNC? Doesn't have one? Oh, so he is divorced? No? Oh, but he has a boyfriend? Just wondering.

[MADem]

30. But DAVID DRIER lives with HIS boyfriend!!!

Not only that, he EMPLOYS his boyfriend. Little Brad makes about a hundred bucks a year less than Karl Rove and Andy Card. He is one of the best paid "staffers" on the Hill. Quite a staff old Drier must have!

[JI7]

41. do you remember when Larry Flynt offered women money

around the time of Clinton's impeachment if they could show proof of Republican hypocrites engaged in some of the things they were attacking Clinton for ?

i'm wondering what would have happened if he had done the same for men also. remember Lindsey Graham was one of the leaders of the impeachment. it's likely one or more of the guys he has been with had come forward with it.

[tsuki]

45. But they can't get married. Alleluia!

[AlCzervik]

2. i refuse to click on anything Drudge.

join him for what? He has a new job and she already has a practice, whats the problem. My husband has a job and he goes there all by himself, everyday, he doesn't even cry or hold onto to my hand anymore....they grow up so fast.

[Renew Deal]

11. Pukes forget that people have to work in this country.

Everything isn't just handed to them.

[AlCzervik]

13. I hate what he's trying to imply, Judy Dean seems like one the nicest

and caring people around. FUCK THEM!!!!!!

[janx]

28. She sure does.

And she's obviously dedicated to her practice, which is essentially a small-town sort of practice. Her patients would probably be devastated if she left.

[Withywindle]

50. Bwahaha!

Best response yet.

Counterattack: "At least Dean can dress himself even when his wife's in another state."

[JI7]

3. fucking assholes going after Democratic Pol's wives again

[JI7]

4. wife of Republican President a killer

seriously though, if it was a Democratic Politician's wife who had killed a guy like Laura Bush did how much do you want to bet it would have become a huge issue with the whores asking questions about it all the time.

[FreedomAngel82]

20. Of course they never talk about that

I once got into a debate with a republican about that and all they said was how she went through so much grief. :eyes: Then they brought up Teddy Kennedy. :eyes: Of course Laura didn't have anything done to her and her whole thing, did she?

[qanda]

5. I just saw the new Republican Senator, Bobby Jindal

Talking about how his wife and kids were not joining him in Washington and how he would be commuting on the weekends to see them. I wonder why Drudge didn't have a blaring headline about that.

[JI7]

38. i guess it's like the gay thing

they will go after gay people and deny them rights but if we make mention of any Republicans who are gay then we are being mean and invading their privacy and other shit.

[NYCGirl]

6. How dare she have a career and children and a life of her own?

</sarcasm>

Dr. Judy is a remarkable woman, and a real role model for young women everywhere.

Drudge, on the other hand, is a jerkoff. He should try and get himself a real job someday.

[oasis]

7. Dean should not entertain any questions regarding his wife. Screw Rove and

his minions.

[AlCzervik]

10. I have faith in Dean, he won't respond to blind quotes

as he stated yesterday and i think if they go after his wife there is no way he sit by and let them get away with it.

[lancdem]

8. Let 'em be ecstatic

Their lives are so pathetic anyway.

[ktowntennesseedem]

9. Such a flattering photo they used, too.

Looks like Howard's about to pass gas or something.

Personally, though, I think if the news Mr & Mrs Dean are living apart and that famous scream are the repugs only talking points, I fell pretty good about the whole thing. Deep down, I hear repugs saying, "uh-oh."

[FreedomAngel82]

21. When they try to smear people

they always use the most unflattering photos. Go figure. :eyes:

[CalebHayes]

12. maybe the headline should be "husband won't stay with wife in Vermont!"

I mean big freaken deal. *rolls eyes* These guys are less sane than me.

[flyingfysh]

14. she's a doctor!

She has patients and a medical practice to take care of. Is she supposed to dump them?

[Pirate Smile]

15. Howard isn't even going to be in DC that much probably. How friggin

stupid, yet completely typical.

[Withywindle]

16. WTF? This is a "story"?

How many Congresspeople's spouses pack up everything and move to Washington with 'em? Some do, a hell of a lot don't. Not everybody wants to uproot their careers, yank their kids out of their schools, etc., when they don't have to. :shrug:

THIS is the best they can do for a smear?

[deadparrot]

17. Don't many Congressmen/women

leave their spouses at home when Congress is in session?

I just don't get it.

[MADem]

35. Most do

In fact, it is like frat boy city in some of those apartments. Often the freshmen will get a place and room together, and if they get reelected, they stay in that same arrangement, maybe moving to a slightly better joint once they get reelected and have some job security. They are only there four days a week. Thursday nights/Friday mornings are HELLISH at National Airport, as are Mondays when they come back. The little bastards are EVERYWHERE, and get highly irritated when their flights don't take off on time. Gotta get back to their districts, press the flesh, raise the cash!!

[Todd B]

18. Hold the phone.. a breaking news item from Drudge?! :rolleyes:

Oh my God.. Judy isn't going to pack up and move to Washington?! How dare she - I mean, it's not like a job like president or something where he has to live there all the time. I think I prefer her *not* go down to Washington. She outside of the belt way - she does have a job and a practice outside of politics. Hell, Howard Dean probably won't be there all the time anyways.

If this is the best they can do to attack Dean, then, my friends, that is pretty sad.

[leesa]

19. Why should she? She has a medical practice to take care of.

I'm sure he's more than capable of taking care of himself on the road, unlike the paternalistic, helpless freepers who probably can't figure out how to eat if their woman ain't cooking it for them.

[FreedomAngel82]

23. I guess they expect her to

hold his hand and baby him. :eyes: Howie is a big boy and can take care of himself. :silly:

[liwkenne]

22. I like the "eyebrows were raised" part

Whose "eyebrows were raised" after it was "revealed that Dean's wife, Judy, will not be joining her husband in his move." Is it possible to be any vaguer?

And after we determine who had the "raised eyebrows" are we supposed to care?

Is this the best they can come up with?

[janx]

29. They could perhaps get vaguer--

but they couldn't get any more vulgar! ;-)

[Pirate Smile]

24. This reminds me of my Husband, who doesn't pay that much attention

to things like DNC Chair (he is a reg. Republican), he comes in the room yesterday and says to me (I have the news on showing Dean - no longer C-span because the meeting was over)

"Ha, ha, Did you hear how he won?"

I respond with a suspicious "How?"

My husband "Everybody else dropped out, that is why he won."

Me "#$%##*@# - Everybody dropped out because Dean had the votes to win wrapped up, you dumbass! Don't try to tell me about stuff you don't know about ......"

But he was right. That was the impression CNN and Headline News gave when I watched it later. It doesn't really matter but it is a good example of how the media distorts things even when they tell the truth.

[LittleClarkie]

25. Here: for those who ain't going over there

I've been scummier places. I once went to newsmax to read Jerome Corsi's column over there. But I digress.

This is what Drudge says:

Howard Dean won the chairmanship of the national Democratic Party over the weekend and quickly began looking for a home in Washington. "This is really goodbye to Vermont, for now. There's lots of work to do," Dean told supporters. Eyebrows were raised after it was revealed that Dean's wife, Judy, will not be joining her husband in his move. "She has a career as a doctor, her patients require her attention," said one Dean friend. The Deans will join the growing ranks of "commuter marriages," with both partners living in different locations.



Let's see if the picture links.

[elshiva]

36. Stupid, pointless article.

If that's suppose to bash Dean that is fucking lame. That picture of him is beautiful so the whole thing backfires on him.
Yes, Dr. Judy "Lucky" Steinberg Dean has her own patients and is her own woman, thank you very much.

[BattyDem]

26. Why would anyone care ...

if the DNC chairman's wife joins him in Washington or not? :eyes:



On edit: Do "average" people keep track of who the party leaders are? Can "average" people name ONE party chairman, past or present? What a ridiculous excuse for a story.

[n2mark]

31. Well guess what pukes

Dean's wife cares more about the people. She takes care of people one to one and does not appear on TV with the fake cures. No drama, just one to one. That is real american way you idiots.

[mzmolly]

32. Does the name Norm Coleman ring a bell?

These people are very strange.

Dean said Judy would continue to practice medicine and that he'd be living out of hotel rooms basically. He will be home when he can.

The title should read "Dean's wife supportive of his personal sacrifice for our country." ;)

[WI_DEM]

33. Is this supposed to be news?

If anybody recalls his wife is a physician in her own right and didn't do much campaigning with or for him when he ran for president. She has her own career, and Howard Dean supports her as she supports him.

[CatWoman]

34. I just sent Drudge an email:

So, Howard Dean's wife won't be joining him.

I heard that Jeff Gannon has gone underground.

Will his wife be joining him???

[JI7]

37. HAHHAHAHa, or how about Drudge's wife

[AntiCoup2K4]

48. Maybe Drudge IS Gannon's "wife"?

:evilgrin:

[cally]

39. Did any of the MSM notice Howard and Judy on the way to his win?

They were both giddy and sharing the momemt as long term partners do. I was struck by how the MSM never commented on it. Nooo, let's focus on how she's not moving to DC. Guess what, few spouses do.

[Bethany Rockafella]

40. How lame.....

[kodi]

42. can't win since the alternative would be "dean's wife abandons patients"

i am quite surprised that no one has kicked the ever living shit out of drudge by now for his personal attacks and mis-representations that border on slander.

[Skwmom]

43. This is ridiculous.

They should leave his wife alone. She seems like a very nice person and a very dedicated doctor.

[janx]

44. She is.

But they don't have anything else, so they have to manufacture something. ;-)

[Mountainman]

46. This just shows you that freepers don't have any kind of a life.

This is not even a story yet they get a nut off just making up something out of nothing.

Freeptards, when are you going to get off your asses and care about something really important like your about to lose your government handouts if bush baby's budget gets passed?
I guess you're all fired up to support the Stockbroker's Wealth Enhancement Act of 2005 aren't you?

[Maat]

47. So, my hubby traveled around the world for years...

and has always been the most loyal man alive.

He would never dream of standing in the way of my professional aspirations/duties, and I would not dream of standing in the way of his.

Oh, and he has worked out of the house for the last 10; and we get to see each other all of the time now.

And, we've been married over 20 years!

I guess Rethuglican Stepford Wives always accompany their men ... who are probably more disloyal than anyone else! Hypocrites!

[madfloridian]

49. He said Judy would continue her practice, they would have two homes.

Heck, that is not even news. He said that during the press conference at DNC. He will live in both places but mostly in motels around the country for a while. The VT residence he made clear would be his voting one, his actual home.

This is unbelievably silly. At least Drudge put up a good picture.

:shrug: :shrug:

[EST]

51. Ya' know,

If we high minded paqragons of self respect and tolerance would just knock off the rubber necking visits to that snarky place and its vile intentioned proprieter, his traffic count might drop by about 75% and the loss of income might just force him to try some real journalism, for a change.

[MaineDem]

52. The DNC Chair spends - at MOST - one night a week at home

His job requires him to be out in the states most all of the time.

This is such a non-issue!

Judy was with him at the DNC meeting and at the party Saturday night until she had to leave to catch a plane. I'm so glad to see that we don't have many "Stepford Wives" in the Democratic Party! The GOP just can't stand strong, independent, intelligent wives, can they?

[waryone1962]

53. How Many Politicians Have Their Families With Them In DC?

Not a lot of them I'd bet. This is a non-issue. Must be a slow news day for Drudge.

[JerseygirlCT]

54. It's sick that in 2005

this could possibly be considered an issue.

Hey, boys? She's got a career -- a medical practice of her own. She's responsible to her patients. What a wacky idea!

[seaglass]

55. Good for her, to me it shows how strong their relationship is.

I'm sure they'll make whatever arrangements work for them. This is a non-story.
