The article has the objective this Park Avenue denizen who grew up with domestic servants seem more populist.

've got no problem with wealth --I want more money-- but the motives of this piece are so transparent it's plain sickening.

To be taken in by this balderdash you'd have to be dumb enough.....to read People, I guess...

He recycles gum, but forgets where he puts it.

18..He spends hours on end looking for the strawberries and rattling his balls.

I am sure you meant to say ball bearings, at least I hope you did.

I'll bet he was able to prove through geometric logic that the strawberries....

You're correct. Each of us is meant for a different place in life, and someone who fixates on the type of minutia that Dean does might be a very good doctor, but he is, as another poster noted, the kind of guy who would chew a guy out about his shirt tail while his ship steams over his tow line.

5. The last sitcom he watched was All in the Family in its original run.

GWB would have gotten lambasted for this. In fact, didn't Bush get nailed in the press for not having seen a movie in years??

Sounds like a cheap SOB. Perhaps we should refer to him as "Hetty Dean".

Once he picked up every newspaper off an airplane at the end of a flight and hauled them to a recycling center.

Tiring of this activity, along with serving peanuts, he decided to get into politics.

Thrift is one thing, but certain forms of cheapness have always impressed me as a mental disease. (re: Dean, not your folks)

No, I've thought the same about them over the years. It's sort of a false pride. Mom loves to "brag" about how poor they were when she was a kid during the depression. And they really weren't compared to so many. They certainly never went hungry and they all got sent to college.

After Clinton's activities he ought to be made to scrub the bathrooms in the Whitehouse even if he never becomes president!

What kills me is the old guy in the $200,000 RV who pulls up to McD's and orders the Senior coffee.

Of course, I'll probably feel the same way when I get a few more years of "contributions" to the IRS under my belt.

21. At the age of 7 he was told (by one of his family servants) that if he didn't stop picking his nose, his head would cave in. He has had a deep seated hatred for "domestics" ever since.

He is compulsive about recycling.

Sounds like he's compulsive about a lot of things. I'd say whatever anti-anxiety drug he's been taking isn't quite strong enough. Try the super-duper strength Paxil, Howie.

He also does recycling inspections of his staffer's bins.

Can you even imagine working for a micro-managing buttwipe like that?

Two observations:
1. The fact he's a tightwad means nothing in regard to what he'd do with OTHERs' money. The Hildebeast is a cheapskate too.
2. While not wanting to overstate this, does anyone else think this guy might be a little obssessive compulsive? Some of this behavior reminds me of the Jack Nicholson character in "As Good as it Gets" or that TV Show "Monk."
