Dean: 'I Need to Be Restrained'

Democratic presidential front-runner Howard Dean admitted on Monday that he sometimes gets so angry over political attacks on his character and record that he needs to be "restrained."

"If someone punches me I am apt to chase them down, and I need to be restrained by the people who know better and have been in the game longer than I have," Dean told MSNBC.

Calling himself a "street fighter," Dean said that some of the worst attacks have been prompted by reports that he avoided service in Vietnam by telling draft board doctors that he had a back injury – before heading off to Aspen to spend the next 10 months skiing.

In a comment that had to be particularly traumatizing, even his mother said of the episode, "Yeah, that looks bad."

Dr. Dean told MSNBC: "I think some of the personal attacks we can do without. You know, claiming I am a draft dodger and stuff like that. You know, it's pretty low and I don't think it is necessary in politics and it's inaccurate as well."

The leading Democrat said that he's found campaigning for president so bruising that he often wakes up at 4 a.m. and mulls over the day's events.

"I don't enjoy it, but that is what happens," he told MSNBC. "I have run eight statewide races and I know what’s coming and it is not pretty. The last few weeks and few days of a campaign are some of the most intense experiences a person can have short of being incarcerated in a prison camp someplace."


This guy is a nut case! He's bitching about people ripping on his character yet it's OK for him to call the President anything he wants!

This is the guy I want in the WhiteHouse.

Given that your other option is a homicidal nutcase, having a slight problem with shooting your mouth off doesn't really seem so bad.

You could always move to Canada. We're very nice people, and we drink alot.

xpanda, wrong. We have 8 other options in addition to Bush. Dean is not the nominee. A single vote has yet been cast. I suppose your media has been declaring Dean the nominee? The race is far from over. He will lose and America will win by getting a candidate that can beat Bush.

"My" media doesn't even talk about the Democratic race. I am well aware that the race is hardly over, but it's also been well-publicized that Dean is the clear front-runner. The fact that his is the only name attacked of late is a strong testament.

Having a bad day or something?

The demis don't have a candidate that can beat Bush. That we all just have to face now. I'll go a bit further and say it will be 28 more years before a demi will ever have a good chance at winning the white house again.

That little twirp 'Dean' will run on Bustamantes "Tough Love" program. Which basically means tough on the taxpayers and loving on the non income tax paying citizens ( and the illegals of course ). If it didn't fly in California, it won't fly in the United States of America.
