Dem Chair Dean Ducks Last Second Joint MEET THE PRESS Appearance With GOP Chair Mehlman

The DRUDGE REPORT has learned from exclusive sources that Democrat Party Chair Howard Dean turned down Republican Party Chair Ken Mehlman’s last minute offer to appear together on NBC’s MEET THE PRESS this morning.

Moments before taping was to begin with host Tim Russert, Mehlman asked Dean outside the NBC studio’s green room: “There’s still time for us to go on together Governor.” Dean declined with a shrug of his shoulders and an uncomfortable cackle and then proceeded to walk away into the green room.

DRUDGE has learned MEET THE PRESS producers have been working to get a head to head Dean/Mehlman appearance on the program since Dean was named chair back in February. Dean and his handlers have repeatedly turned down the request. The former Vermont governor only agreed to do this week’s program if they appeared in back-to-back interviews.

I think we should all email ads for Enzyte ("for natural male enhancement") to Mr. Dean. In fact...I'll be right back....

[Forte Runningrock]

LoL! Good one. Send it to lunatic Howard Deans email.

Also, Dean had the good sense to appear second and gain the advantage of being able to rebut and not subject his lies to comment from Mehlman.

I truly think there's a mental problem with Mr. Dean. How can any one person be that obnoxious.

Of course Dean chickened out. With a senior member of the opposing party present on TV, Dean wouldn't have been able to spew his LIES unchallenged.

What? Appear LIVE with a Republican and debate issues?

That might involve discussing facts and using logic...run away, Howie, run fast...your 'handlers' will protect you and tell you what to think and say, in carefully prepared (snicker) statements that aren't subject to immediate discourse.

On the Washington Journal segment this morning, some reporter described it as a problem on both sides, because people in polittics just don't get along. There was no mention from this guy about Dean being a coward.

I suppose NBC doesn't have the TV magic to avoid showing the foam on Dean's mouth or the muzzle they'd have to keep him on to prevent him from biting Mehlman. It would kill his PR with sane people.
