Drudge: Dean Dodged Draft?

Yes, Dean as in Dean Witter. Kind of splains his unbearable attitude.

[Our man in washington]

A question for everyone:

Say there was a conservative candidate you really liked. Say allegations came up that he got out of the draft the same way Dean did. Would you still vote for this candidate?

Personally, I would. An immature man might dodge the draft at a young age but then gain maturity and wisdom and become a fine president.

That said, I would never vote for Dean. I just don't think this issue is all that relevant. I have a hundred other reasons not to vote for Dean.

Besides, maybe he really did have a bad back. Sure, that skiing business is suspicious, but lots of young people take chances with their body. Maybe the skiing was hard on his back and he did it anyway.

Looks like Hillary's been busy.

And Ketchup Boy. Also start expecting stories about Dean performing abortions. These stories will be leaked by Hill and Ketchup Boy but the "nasty" Republicans will get the blame.

[OldFriend]

Dean got a doctor to declare him incapable of serving due to a spinal condition.

[Terp]

So this news should solidify Dean's support with the far left loonies. I think it's great news that this is coming out!

[Chad Fairbanks]

True enough...

Dean Witter

Dean is a Dean as in Dean Witter? Really?

Not really. Howard Dean's father was an executive with that company. However,

"Dean Witter graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 1909, and from 1909 worked for Louis Sloss & Company as a salesman on the California coast. With Charles Blyth he started Blyth, Witter & Company in 1914 and the two men ran the company until 1924, when he launched Dean Witter & Company with his brother Guy, cousins Jean and Ed Witter and their brother-in-law, Fritz Janney."

Wasn't Dean in college with a student draft deferment? If so, he didn't need a bad physical to get out of the draft.

[Senator Pardek]

I thot I told you that...

You got that right, sister - and I'm a better speller, too!

[TC Rider]

I heard that Kerry might have served in Vietnam.

[Libloather]

Developing...

No kidding...

[NYC GOP Chick]

That was done on purpose, and you know it! Anyway, my grammar is better than yours. ;)

[OldFriend]

Hard to explain just what his brother was doing in Laos in 1974.......

First story was that he and a buddy were sight seeing, second story was that he went to visit a 'friend' in Laos.

At any rate, the brother and his companion were shot and killed, deemed spies for the US

OMG, a draft dodger? Another Clinton. H-e-e-e-l-l-l-p.

[F.J. Mitchell]

His back problem persists to this day. A yellow streak a mile wide that disallows not only himself from defending this country but a perversity for allowing anyone else to do so.

THe abortionist was dissatisfied with killing America one abortion at a time and now seeks to be president because that is the best position from which to abort the entirety of of liberty and justice for all.

[PISANO]

Spare us from another draft dodging POTUS.

[Carry_Okie]

Dammit Matt, we need Howard Dean to win on the first ballot.

Keep your trap shut!

[Zack Nguyen]

"Republicans for Dean" - you might as well have a group called "Hollywood Stars for Reagan."

We'll know that the left is behind it when "Vietnam Vets for Dean" appears.

[CholeraJoe]

What a POS. I wanted to go to medical school in 1970 too, instead of Vietnam. Guess what I did? Held up my hand, got a commission and got a deferrment, went to medical school and served my time. Had I not gotten the deferrment, I would have been in 'Nam. I didn't know it at the time I entered ROTC.

Oh, and I didn't learn to ski until I was 40.

Sorry, Howard. You are a trust fund baby POS.
