Dean gets mean – on live TV
(Orders aides to remove his wife from rally)

Howard Dean was courting the women's vote at a Women for Dean rally yesterday in Hooksett, N.H., with the help of C-Span cameras carrying the action live.
But it turned ugly after the rally when he ordered his aides to remove his politically shy wife, Judith Steinberg Dean.
"Get her out," he said. "Get her out. Get her out."
The cameras and microphones caught it all.
Earlier, Dr. Steinberg had introduced the candidate. They even exchanged loving glances.
But, inexplicably, Dr. Dean turned into Mr. Hyde.
Dean's campaign has been in freefall since an appearance just before the Iowa caucuses in which he appeared less than presidential.
Dean even alluded to that speech recently in a TV interview.
Diane Sawyer of ABC News showed what has become known as "the screech" during an interview with both Dean and his wife.
Dean acknowledged on the program that his performance not "presidential," but said he was not "apologetic."
"Was it over the top? Sure it was over the top," he said. "Do I do things that are a little nutty? Sure, I do things that are a little nutty. Last night, I went to a hockey game, my son got an assist on the first goal, I went 'Yahoo,' and jumped up in the air," he added. "That's presidential? Probably not. So, I'm a dad, I'm a human being, I'm going to keep being a dad and a human being."

Why did he want his wife removed? Was the crowd turning ugly or something? This is just plain weird.

"I'm a human being" That's something of an exaggeration, I'd say.

Probably to keep her from being crushed by the mob.

Could someone please explain the context of this? It doesn't make much sense, as written.

Was Mrs. Dean okay? I mean it was a Dean rally. I wouldn't weant a loved one there, either.

What is weird is how many holes there are in this "news report", making it look like he had no reasons for his actions, and that they were just crazy outbursts, like a Tourette's case.
To: Peach
Yea I want to know the reason why too. I am going to give him the benfit of the doubt since the media has decided to bash Dean at every convenience. Not that I am a Dean fan but I don't trust the media because they have chosen Dean as the candidate to make fun of.

Sounds like he was worried about her. Maybe the crowd got unruly. She's doesn't seem like she is confortable being in front of large crowds.

Somehow I doubt this characterization.
And the statement
Dean's campaign has been in freefall since an appearance just before the Iowa caucuses in which he appeared less than presidential.
Is wrong, since Dean lost ground, but has been gaining since Wednesday.

But it turned ugly after the rally when he ordered his aides to remove his politically shy wife, Judith Steinberg Dean. "Get her out," he said. "Get her out. Get her out." I need to be a politician after all. Perks get better all the time. I'd KILL for some aids who would "whisk my wife away" every time I yelled "Get her out now!" What man wouldn't?

It's safe to say none of us are Dean supporters on this thread, but this story just does not make sense, as you and many freepers have noted.

The media has now turned on Dean fearing he may lose it for them- they dogged Clinton until they thought he may win - then loved and supported him- it is possible he was concerned about her- but just the way he refers to her to a staff person is strange- why not "Could you please take care of my wife before the crowds get too much?" He is a strange one!

Why did he order her out? Was it to protect her? I think Dean would be a terrible President but I don't think he's a monster. Is he?

This article has the journalistic flare of a three-year old interrupting his parents' conversation to tell them that there's a tree outside.
