The short answer is: YES. The long answer is he is crazier than a loon.
I first met Howard in 1967 when we were both soon-to-be freshmen in the Yale Class of 1971. He then knew everything -- and knew no one else knew anything at all. If that is not the sign of a demented individual, what is.
And remember he suffers from deanmentia, a mental defect brought on by political stress, often accompanied by loud screaming and hawwing like an ass. The condition deanmentia is apparently similar to Tourette's Syndrome in which stress causes individuals to utter socially inappropriate words or phrases.
Is Howard Dean crazy?
Perhaps. But as Ben Kenobi asked: "Why is more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?"
Crazy like a Fox?
DeanMentia ...too funny.
He has the ultimate Doctor/God complex as well.
NO offense to doctors.
