Well, a couple weren't too bad. The "Sweetie" "Howie" thing is normal married couple sounding.
11. Asked his favorite food indulgence, he responds: fish. (He later amends this to chocolate chip cookies.)
Now, this #11 reminds me in a weird way of the "Job in the New Testament" business. You know? Like who says "fish" is an indulgence. Sounds like he was all hepped up to say "fish" as a favorite food, as a health point. Then realizes later his answer was supposed to be a treat, so has to "amend" his answer. I mean, who amends an answer to "favorite food indulgence"?
Thanks for the ping. This one had me chuckling throughout.

"Proper spelling would be 'niggardly'. Gotta watch that." I have to think that someone who is so ignorant as not to know that niggardly is not a racial slur is unlikely to have any idea how it would be spelled.

Is it just me or does:
2. He wore his prom tuxedo to one of President Clinton's White House state dinners to save money, but coughed and split his pants and had to be escorted home by state troopers covering his posterior.
and this one:
15. As the governor of Vermont, he drove himself and pumped his own gas.
contradict each other??

Mean Mister Mustard sleeps in the park
Shaves in the dark trying to save paper
Sleeps in a hole in the road
Saving up to buy some clothes
Keeps a ten-bob note up his nose
Such a mean old man
Such a mean old man
His sister Pam works in a shop
She never stops, she's a go-getter
Takes him out to look at the queen
Only place that he's ever been
Always shouts out something obscene
Such a dirty old man
Dirty old man

Might explain why he always looks like he stepped out of a rag bag! Embarrassing to go out with his clothes wrinkled to hell!

We haven't had anyone this anal run for president on a major ticket since Carter did it in 1976.
IIRC, Jimmy was too cheap to take a motorcade parade to his inauguration and forced everyone to walk a couple of miles in the cold down Pennsylvania Avenue. He cheapened everything he touched as presidente.g., ordered the removal of the souvenir baubles and trinkets from Air Force One that folks like to snag.
He thought he was projecting an inspiring image of thrift and cost consciousness. In fact, he led people to conclude that he was cheap, graceless, and had no sense of proportion. They thought to themselves, "He we are suffering under 'malaise,' our Armed Forces are disntegrating due to lack of spare parts, while our president is spending his time ordering the Secret Service to hide all the souvenir ashtrays on Air Force One."

At least so far as thriftiness is concerned, Howard Dean appears to be in the same class as...Mike Dukakis.
"Tax-hike Mike" was another nut-case who thought he was saving the world by wearing worn-out shoes, turning off all the lights in the house and clipping coupons and doing his own grocery shopping (at the Brookline Stop & Shop). He threw around his own nickels like they were manhole covers but he sure loved to collect them from everybody else (through all the fees, fines and taxes he imposed as Massachusetts governor).

"To fix your shoes by putting tape on them though is pretty cheap" Perhaps it's just another cheap ploy to appeal to the southern redneck voter, whom he wants us to believe that he can relate to.
