Top talk radio host Rush Limbaugh called on DNC chief Howard Dean to release his medical records yesterday, after Dean said he was standing by his false allegation that Limbaugh was a cocaine addict.
"It might be helpful if we could see his medical records," the radio host told his audience. "It might be helpful if we could get Dean's medical records and plaster them all over CNN because we won't really know the truth about anything until we get these medical records."
Citing an interview last year where Dean admitted he had a drinking problem during his college days, Limbaugh said, "The reason I think it's important to see Dean's medical records is we need to know how many brain cells he lost during his drinking binge period."
Limbaugh also questioned Dean's ethics as a medical doctor.
"What kind of a doctor must Howard Dean have been to lie about somebody's medical condition and confirm the lie and then say, 'Well, you know, Limbaugh, he makes fun of people all over the place, but we all need to protect our ethical standards.'"
In October 2003, the top talker admitted he was addicted to prescription pain killers as a result of a longstanding back problem. But even his harshest critics have never accused Limbaugh of using cocaine.
According to a report last month, in a speech to Minnesota Democrats, "[Dean] did draw howls of laughter by mimicking a drug-snorting Rush Limbaugh."
Appearing on "Meet the Press" Sunday with Tim Russert, the top Democrat defended his decision to falsely imply that the radio host used cocaine.
"The problem is not that these folks have problems. They do, and they have problems in the case of a drug addiction," said Dean. "The problem is it is galling to Democrats, 48 percent of us who did not support the president, it is galling to be lectured to about moral values by folks who have their own problems."
Dean also told Russert that he is a "committed Christian" - which apparently means he as no problems with personal morals.
Don't try to comfort me by offering false hope.
Although, if he'd put a frizzy shoulder-length brown wig on his head.......
In this case, 48 per cent means more people voted against you and you are a LOSER.
It means that he needs to change his meds.
LOL! Agreed.
I'd just like to see Dean and Limbaugh have an actual 1 On 1 Discussion on the air. Otherwise, we're just getting sad gripery either way you look at it.
It would be fun to hear Limbaugh clean Dean's clock, but it will never happen.
"What kind of a doctor must Howard Dean have been?"
I asked this question in 2003 when he began his campaign. If he had been a Republican candidate the MSM would have had destructive quotes from all his patients and medical colleagues, they would have done a Dan Rather on his medical education etc., etc., As a Democrat, how come we haven't heard what an extraordinarily wonderful physician he was and how his patients and colleagues miss him so?
MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

Dean was set up from the beginning and is too dumb and egotistical to know it. Hillary is beginning to sound to the right of Bush and Dean is the foil against which she is playing. When the 2008 race gets serious Dean will get dumped and a right/center pretender, similar to Hillary, will replace him. This is to help foist the lie that they have changed.
They haven't and won't. The lie is their ally. The don't exist without it.
Howie at Yale in the late 1960s and early 1970s was drunk a lot an very probably stoned much of the time. Member (like Howie the Hoser) Yale Class of 1971.
"Dean also told Russert that he is a "committed Christian"
It would be a better world if Dean were indeed committed...............
I have wondered that after the first time he opened his mouth.
Chairman Dean : The gift that keeps on giving.
And by the way Bill Clinton, John Kerry, Howard Dean et al... where exactly are your medical records?
While you're at it...FORM 180 would be nice to have as well.
Didn't he have trouble telling the old testament from the new testament?
That would be a priceless video if it exists. Priceless to conservatives, that is.
"This is hilarious. Bill Clinton never did release his medical records, did he."
Patient H. Dean presents symptons of incessant afflictions including headaches, dizziness, severe bloating, abdominal spasms, belching and constipation.
Also given to severe and spasmodic outbursts at times symptomatic of hebephrenia, a type of schizophrenia characterized by foolish mannerisms, senseless laughter, delusions, hallucinations, and regressive behavior. (mentioned by H. Lechter in his observations of certain patient while in the Maryland State penitentiary or the criminally insane)
Possible treatment prognosis?
I do not recall any president or presidential candidate ever releasing their med. records.
Well, not entirely true. I know some that attend church every Sunday, even in leadership positions, but claim it's no bigger because as a believer they have grace.
He should release his Governor papers.
Has that little executive order ever been reversed?
That was outrageous.
