Howie has a histrionic personality disorder...he's the kind of guy that laughs at the scary parts of movie, a nervous and telling laugh.

In the face of loss and grief, he's compelled to hide his true emotion by an exuberant display of it's opposite.

His cheerful and phony confidence last night only reveals how deeply crushed and emotionally wounded he is.

His remark a couple of weeks ago about the President having issues with his father, and being obsessed with re-election, smacks of classic, textbook projection.

I suspect he has his own issues with his own father, probably arising from emotional abandonment and the consequent drive to always prove himself special and worthy.

I should feel sorry for him, but somehow cannot, for his words and deeds have been so hurtful.

Maybe all the babies he aborted at Planned Parenthood haunt his dreams.

Who knows? I doubt he does, as people like him don't dare look into the Pandora's box of their psyche.

Personally, I've enjoyed his meltdown...it's been like watching a Scanners movie, and I've been waiting for his head to explode.

Boom.

I thought the exact same thing when I read that quote from Dean. Projection, projection, projection! Great minds think alike, I guess!

Jesus...your post was dead on about Dean.
