Dean: I Didn't Say 'Panic Attack' [Yes, He Did]

Btw, I'm not sure why Dean is getting so defensive about this. It's not like he would suffer politically from such a disclosure. Admitting to having panic attacks would probably result in a net gain in votes for him among the Loony Left.

[In_25_words_or_less]

"To suddenly get told that you have responsibility for 600,000 people"

And that's the problem with leftists. They aren't *responsible* for 600,000 people they are *accountable* to 600,000 people. No wonder these guys get so twisted up.

That there's astute, Tex.

[savedbygrace]

So much of how Dean reacts to things is exactly like many short men I've known in my life. Must be a common over-compensation.

[Penny]

Right on! Dean also evaded Steve's question over the facts about the issuance of the J. Carter invitation. Wesley Clark runs a close second to weasle words and evasion, but, then, all the others run a distant second to Dean. If he's a dem, he's a liar.

Believe me, I am on the verge of a panic attack every time I think Howard Dean could possibly become the next President of the United States.

Good to know that you aren't on the verge of panic attack (or hyperventilating). Dean has the proverbial snowball's chance.

[stands2reason]

His brother's death is the only "adversity" that Dean has in his past that he had to "get over." He wasn't poor, he didn't serve, so that's all he has.

[mass55th]

According to the World Book Dictionary for 2004, panic and anxiety attacks are one and the same.

[Jaysun]

There should be no doubt that Dean is having a perpetual "anxiety attack" or "panic attack". He has more facial ticks and twitches than a group Clint Eastwood impersonators on a coffee bean diet. He has a hard time remembering what to say when asked simple questions. Instead of gazing around the room like a contestant on "The Price is Right" in search of an answer (like Clark does) he just blurts out the first thing that comes to his vulgar mouth. Judging by some of his bizarre statements, he may also suffer from Tourett’s Syndrome.

It'd be interesting to see the actual People Magazine article.

[Cobra64]

Last number I heard was 290 million. Add the illegals and yer up to 300 million.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Howie is suffering from foot in mouth disease.

[Cobra64]

he may also suffer from Tourett’s Syndrome.

What syndrome? Sounds series. Is it contagious?

[George W. Bush]

This story is little more than a little fluff for the right-wing, only available via the usual FNC and VRWC websites.

Whatever Howie's mental state, the Dim primary voters aren't going to hear about this from ABCNNBCBS anytime soon.

[George W. Bush]

Judging by some of his bizarre statements, he may also suffer from Tourett’s Syndrome.

Lay off the Tourettes. It's about as funny as jokes about cerebral palsy. Not very funny if you know someone who suffers from it.

[Alcibiades]

Aren't these the same liberals who worried about Reagan's finger on the nuke button?

Much better to have a guy who has panic attacks. We would need to turn the oval office into a padded room.

"It'd be interesting to see the actual People Magazine article."

Funny you should ask. I just finished transcribing it.

[Graymatter]

>>World Book Dictionary for 2004, panic and anxiety attacks are one and the same.

Is there a doctor in the house? Are they 2 different things or what?

[OldFriend]

Trouble is no one knew his brother was dead until a month ago.

[OldFriend]

Seems me to coward dean has rabies.

[A Citizen Reporter]

This is from the printed version of People magazine's story:

"While traveling in Laos in 1974, his 24-year-old younger brother Charlie, a peace activist, was killed by communist guerrillas; the State Department later told the Deans he had been beheaded."
