The Dean Tapes

Newsweek article about a Canadian show that Dean appeared on years ago.

WASHINGTON - Aired in Canada and PBS stations in the United States, “The Editors” is a public affairs TV show that most Americans probably haven’t seen. It features a roundtable panel of politicians, journalists, and policy wonks who discuss American and Canadian politics, foreign affairs, and social issues.

But old episodes of the “The Editors” might soon become must-see TV for followers of the 2004 presidential race. While governor of Vermont, Howard Dean was a regular guest on the show, and the NBC News Investigative Unit has now obtained the videotapes of 90 of his appearances from 1996 to 2002. They help answer one of the race’s biggest questions: Just who is Howard Dean? Is he the angry, liberal, combustible flip-flopper that his opponents and some chattering pundits claim he is? Is he, as other rivals suggest, too conservative when it comes to guns, trade, and balancing the budget? Is he ignorant on foreign policy issues? Or is he the magnetic, straight-talking candidate his admirers say he is?

As reported by Lisa Myers on NBC's “Nightly News,” Dean comes across in these tapes as having a wide-ranging intellect, a sharp tongue, and shifting views on some key issues.

1. the quotes they had

were actually proving that he has a sharp tongue, intellect and very consistent views....

I know, I should have gotten quite a different message...

And yes we have always been at war with Oceania

3. I see that show!!!

Started watching it last week actually. It seems the governor of Vermont is always a popular guest; the current one was on last week. I guess it's not much of a commute to Montreal from Montpelier.

4. Didn't she get the memo?

"As reported by Lisa Myers on NBC's “Nightly News,” Dean comes across in these tapes as having a wide-ranging intellect, a sharp tongue, and shifting views on some key issues."

Yes, he does. And the Washington elite and can kiss my asses.

5. Dupe

This is, like, the 10th thread on this topic.

Let's all say for the 10th time why the 2004 election will/won't turn on the fact that Dean thought sitting in Iowa caucus room for 8 hours wasn't a good idea.

6. I'm not a Dean supporter, but this is a good article.

Dean comes off very well. We should not be afraid of a candidate who is smart, quick, and has strong beliefs. These are all artibutes of someone who would make a good president. I have no problem with Dean - he's not my first choice, but he is a strong second.

7. I guess you didn't like this part of the story...

Yet he also shows that he’s much more consistent on issues — like affirmative action and trade — than some of his opponents give him credit for. And despite the constant complaints that Dean has no foreign policy experience, he demonstrates a good grasp of international affairs.

By the way, Mods, this thread is a dupe.
