Iconoclast.ca ^

Democratic presidential front-runner Howard Dean may have grown up on tony Park Avenue and summered with the swells at East Hampton's then-whites-only Maidstone Club, but his mother, Andree Maitland Dean, insists her son's roots are practically working class.

"Howard didn't have the least bit of a glamorous upbringing," Ma Dean told the New York Times last week. "When I was growing up, we didn't even treat the servants like servants"....

Howard Dean and family. Just plain folks -- spoiled, arrogant, condescending rich folks!

"We didn't even treat servants like servants."

Then they called them friends (vs. servants) and didn't pay them and ate meals with them. Rights.

"But, we did ask the servants to wax Howie's skis before he went off to Aspen with his bad back.

OMG! Say it isn't so! Why, each newborn baby and it's live-in nurse had to sleep in the KITCHEN! Gasp! The horror!

[Theresawithanh]

Oh, I also wanted to add, you bet yer sweet bippy you couldn't match up to the Bushes, in oh so many ways!

Just what Howie needed........ a little help from mom.

[OpusatFR]

We always called them the help.

Servant is so demeaning. ( ;

"Yes, there was sort of this casual racism, in terms of the racist expressions that were used by that generation," he told the Times. "But in all, I think my family was pretty open-minded about different kinds of people."

Dean's IQ here is double digit, but of course, so are the Deanie Babies.

Keep talking, Howie. Keep talking.

This is the 2nd time I've seen this today... this can't be for real can it. My jaw is on the floor..reminds me of an old saying... I'm not prejudice against blacks, I think everyone should own a few.

If he was a republican we might hear about these things once in a while.

[Democratshavenobrains]

Every DUer who reads this story should be full of pride.

[Inyokern]

Hey, wait. I thought he was a New Englander and that is why he doesn't wear his religion on his sleeve.

[EggsAckley]

Reminds ME of an old friend who used to say "I hate two things, prejudiced people and Ni&&ers on the beach."

"When I was growing up, we didn't even treat the servants like servants"....
