Dean's wife takes on his last name; AP shills for Judy Dean
Associated Press ^ | August 31, 2003 | nwrep

If you did not recognize this woman, you would not a alone. She is Howard Dean's wife Judy, and she is "coming out" into the primary season, accompanied by puff-pieces like the one below from AP:

Judy Dean, wife of Democratic presidential hopeful and former Vermont Governor Howard Dean, sits in her medical office in Shelburne, Vt., Feb. 6, 2003, where she is an internist in private practice. If her husband wins the presidency, America's next first lady could be a doctor tending to her patients while her husband tends the country. (AP Photo/Toby Talbot, file)

Howard Dean's wife is apparently dropping her maiden name (Steinberg) and now is allowing the media to refer to her by her husband's last name. This has followed her husband's remarkable rise in popularity among the Democrats.

In a few short weeks, her pictures have suddenly appeared on Dean's website, along with a fawning commentary from the woman known as Hillary's Monica, Eleanor Clift. Here is a picture from Dean's website, apparently show-casing who they hope would be the future first lady:

This picture, which was previously her only picture on the website, has now been purged:

And here is another example of AP's editorializing, lecturing Americans how fortunate they would be to have a Democratic first lady:

Judy Dean, left, wife of Democratic Presidential candidate, former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, right, looks on during a rally in Burlington, Vt., in this June 23, 2003 file photo. If Democrats win the presidency, America's next first lady could be a doctor tending to her patients while her husband tends the country. She could be a fabulously wealthy philanthropist who speaks five languages. She could be an immigrant, an author, the child of Holocaust survivors. Wives of the leading presidential hopefuls are accomplished in their own right as well as an important influence on their husband's political career. (AP Photo/ Files)

Could AP be just a little more obvious?

All we need is for a First Lady to have "come out" - although Hillary never really did.

She's been all but invisible up here for all of her hubby's political life, limiting her appearances to his election victory celebrations.

It appears to me that Dean wants her to get rid of her jewish name...

Woof. I bet she chases cars and howls at the moon. I would love to see her collection of wheel covers.

Who cares about the wife. Dean and his family does, but why should we? Is she running for office?

If she doesn't respect him enough to take his last name, why should I respect him enough to vote for him?

Liberals!
