Howard Dean Was Robbed
NY Daily News ^ | 07-18-04 | Lloyd Grove

Howard Dean was robbed!

If Howard Dean ever had any reason to scream his head off, this was it.

The former Vermont governor - whose once-frontrunning presidential campaign ended with a shriek, not a whimper - was on his way last week from a Canadian vacation to a Washington, D.C., fund-raiser.

But on his layover in the American Airlines terminal at JFK, he was told that bad weather would keep him from arriving on time at the Women's National Democratic Club.

There, on Wednesday night, some 350 Dean fans - who gave thousands of dollars to Dean's Democracy for America organization - were waiting eagerly to hear his remarks.

But thunderheads had gathered along the route to D.C. and Dean's flight couldn't take off. So a speaker-phone was set up at the fund-raiser, and Dean went to a pay phone, retrieved a calling card from his wallet, and dialed into the event while resting his wallet on top of the phone.

As he was delivering an impassioned pep talk about impending Democratic victory, Dean saw some disembodied fingers suddenly slip around his wallet - containing all his credit cards and an undetermined amount of cash - and just as suddenly disappear with them.

"I gotta go. Somebody just stole my wallet," Dean abruptly ended his speech.

But instead of saying "YEEEEAAAARRRRGH!" Dean calmly filed a police report and - using his passport in his briefcase as identification - eventually made his way back to Burlington.

Where everybody knows his name.

Put out an APB for the Klintoons, they do so like to snatch other people's property.

French-held territory, no doubt.

If that's not an apt analogue for the higher taxation that Democrats support, I don't know what is.

Don't worry Howard, the money will turn up eventually in one of your many socialist redistribution programs.

Hmmmm - makes me think of that saying, "A Republican is a Democrat who just got mugged." Maybe we'll see Dean working for Bush pretty soon......?

Why don't they call it what it really is, Democratic-Socialism for America?

The idiot has obviously been away from New York too long, otherwise he'd have remembered that you don't leave your wallet sitting out in the open at JFK Airport.

I love America. But I went to Canada on my honeymoon and would love to go back. I've been thinking about it all day (it's my anniversary). We loved Nova Scotia. Going there certainly does NOT mean we don't love our country. I don't like Dean, but can't fault him on this account. And I'm sorry he was robbed.

Should have put his wallet in a lock-box. Algore would have.

The imagery from this story has me laughing so hard that I just can't stop.

I just wonder what these people over the phone were thinking. They must have thought he had gone off the deep end (something we have been saying for quite some time).

Only an adult with zero real-world smarts could possibly
leave his wallet exposed in that building.

Sorry. I was attempting to be facetious.
