DNC CHAIRMAN HOWARD DEAN REFUSES TO APPEAR ON SET WITH RNC CHAIR DURING TOMORROW 'MEET THE PRESS', SOURCES TELL DRUDGE... DEAN ONLY AGREED TO BACK-TO-BACK INTERVIEWS ON NBC WITH RIVAL... DEVELOPING...

[Gaffrig]

Hmmmm must be scared.

[Keith in Iowa]

Howie is like an STD...the gift that keeps on giving... :)

[Howie66]

What a jerk and coward!

Then again, he is the lead RAT.

[baystaterebel]

Now that Republicans are finally going to fight back the democrats go French on us.

Figures.

[SamAdams76]

What is so bad about the RNC chair? Maybe they can arrange to stand.

[BallyBill]

Something is wrong here. Howard Dean is too stupid to be scared. Maybe he can't get his meds refilled in time.

[dirtbiker]

Do I hear the sounds of chickens, or is it Dean?

[indianrightwinger]

No surprise. He is an empty suit and a lead RAT scremer. We all knew that!

[Howie66]

"Howie is like an STD...the gift that keeps on giving... :)"

On behalf of "Howie(s)" everwhere....please call this turd by his given name....Howard.

He doesn't rate being called "Howie".

Thank You.

Howie66

[trubluolyguy]

Chicken$hit

[Tinman73]

A typical DNC ploy. I can't tell you what how I can help, I will only tell you that you are wrong !

A true face to face conversation defeats that ploy. Just look at the Democratic response after the Presidents speech Friday. (sheesh).

memories of Franken's "hissy fit" when Medved wanted him to be on with John O'Neill

Function: noun

- coward adjective

[West Coast Conservative]

[raccoonradio]

LOL... of course in this P.C. world we can't say "Chairman"
it has to be "Chair". ...can't we all just...get along...?

[linn37]

Democrats usually come on after the Republicans so they can say what they want without being challenged.

EXCELLENT.. (rubbing hands together, wry grin)...

[GloriaJane]

dean wants to be able to tell his lies with out someone there who could dispute each and every one of them. If he goes on separately, he can just spout off a whole list of lies and have no one there to call him on it.

DNC CHAIRMAN HOWARD DEAN REFUSES TO APPEAR

A well-oiled machine gotta have nuts - no?

[cripplecreek]

I DON'T WANNA GO AND YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!!!!

[Dont Mention the War]

Nothing new here (though it's nice to see Dean get humiliated for it). He always refuses to do interviews unless they're one-on-one. That way he gets all the face time, and faces no risk of getting his ass kicked in a debate.

[Ma3lst0rm]

It is not surprising. The left never likes a one on one debate. Dean needs at least two backup flunkies in order for it to be fair in his eyes. Having the host and him against one Republican isn't enough I suppose.

[GSlob]

"What a jerk and coward! "
Actually, it is much simpler: RNC has long ago figured that if one tickles him a little, there will be the famous "YEARRGHH!" right in the microphone. One doesn't even need to tickle - shiatsu chair will do. Naturally, Dean is wary.

[thoughtomator]

Apparently the word "Chair" was construed to be the IQ requirement for the position.

[Chickenhawk Warmonger]

Dean knows that Mehlman will make Dean look like the mental midget that he is. You can only go so far on hate speech - every once in a while you have to verbalize your plan for the country. Oh that's right - there is no plan from the Left except bash the President.

[Fielding]

I smell chickens.:)

[Txsleuth]

Actually, I don't think this is anything new...

I think Dean has refused to do this before. He is a "little" man..and he doesn't want his obvious inadequacies to be as obvious as they would be in a "give and take" type setting.

I am sure he is also insisting on being "last"...so he can smear anything that Mehlman says...rather than put his own thoughts out to be disputed.

I am also sure that Russert will accomodate him....cause Fat Timmy isn't any better than Dean...

[Bernard Marx]

He just wants to tell his lies comfortably, without any worries about being contradicted. I'm sure Russert will be gentle with him.

[Howie66]

"Actually, it is much simpler: RNC has long ago figured that if one tickles him a little, there will be the famous "YEARRGHH!" right in the microphone. One doesn't even need to tickle - shiatsu chair will do. Naturally, Dean is wary."

Can you tickle someone with a Louisville Slugger?

[mcmuffin]

Howard knows...

No Balls, No Glory!

[axes_of_weezles]

This says it all...

[appleharvey]

Howard Dean in an intellectual battle with Ken Mehlman would be like marshmallows against bunker busters.

[t2buckeye]

Main Entry: cow·ard
synonym: How ard
Pronunciation: 'hau(-&)rd
Etymology: New Hampshire,though first from Old French coart, from coe tail, from Latin cauda
: one who shows disgraceful fear or timidity
: interchangeable with coward; afraid to debate; incapable of using reasoned arguments; known for the making the sound..Arrrrgggggg!

[rushmom]

I wonder if Dean's antisemetic. That would be outrageous.

[LasVegasMac]

Howard, you are a pussy.

As are most 'Rats and Libs.

BOO!

LVM

[msnimje]

Melhman would make mincemeat of Dean.

[Txsleuth]

If Fat Timmy had any cojones...he would INSIST on them being on together...but he doesn't.

THAT is why idiots like Dean get away with the lies and smears that they spew...they have the media's help.

Betcha Fat Timmy has a lot of "quotes" to try and trip up Mehlman...but, less so for Dean.

[Michael Goldsberry]

LOL!

[doug from upland]

We have joked about him being insane. The joke is over.

[IceAge]

Howard being such a "chicken" maybe he has birdflu.

[garyhope]

Is there anyone any nastier than Al "I hate everything American" Franken?

[buckeyesrule]

Dean is such a wuss. I mean even Terry McSlimeball had enough guts to debate the RNC chairman on many occasions. Howard Dean clearly lacks the guts to do it. Dean strikes me as the type of person who can never look anyone in the eyes when they talk to them. Gutless to the core!

[Dr Snide]

Of course Dean refused, he is certainly not use to going on the Sunday show and being challenged at all.

[AmeriBrit]

What a wuss!

[Mike Darancette]

Dean is a real profile in courage.

[Sthitch]

What a weasel. I guess he is too scared to appear in a debate against a smarter man. Or could it be that he is such a toad that he would blurt out some unsubstantiated rumor while getting his butt kicked on live TV?

[Soul Seeker]

Mehlman can whip his butt intellectually in a debate, in a straight talking way, and appear likeable while doing it. Deaniac knows it.

No contest who wins between the Wit (Mehlman) and Nitwit Dean).

He, Dean, can't handle the truth!
