Photographers always seem to catch Howard Dean in a moment, don’t they? Personally, I think Howard Dean is a great guy and really was a great governor, but he needs to stay away from the media. He just doesn’t do it well.
This is his lame impression of Gene Simmons. (AP Photo/Stephan Savoia)

I thought he was impersonating a lesbian with a hard-on

Howard’s a cutie. If he weren’t hitched, I’d do him. I say this as a woman not given to appreciate older men (though I do like short men, and he pings my shortydar!).

That was close to my first reaction: “What the hell? Is he acting out a FFM 3-way scene from some porno?”

I believe the movie was “Fistings of Fury“

Governor Howard Dean, shown while addressing delegates at the New Hampshire Democratic Party Pan-Fetishist and Hedonist League of Voters Biweekly Conference and Orgy, emphasized his prowess with a rousing speech with a refrain of “I’ve got the fist, got the tongue, but guess what’s behind the podium?” It was reported that noted journalist Helen Thomas fainted while moaning, “Show me the surge, baby!”

For a moment the mask slips, and Howard Dean is revealed as the alien shape-shifting lizard he is…

Rock (and lick) the vote.

Dean:
“Women absolutely LOVE what I can do with my tounge!”

Dean: “And what I can do with my TONGUE is even more amazing!”

“The Visitors are NOT our friends!”

How about
“We had double the turn-out that the Republicans had in Iowa and now we’re set to kick ass in New Hampshire!”
What, too close to the truth to be comfortable? You wussies.
Ok, how ’bout
“I am a Republican’s worst nightmare! I am the Great Satan that delivers votes and money to The Party of Death! Healthcare for All! BWAHAAHAHA!!”

“And now, for my next rock star impression, does anyone have a bat that needs beheading?” (“Where’s Hillary?”)

I was thinking more along the lines of a handjob plus cunnilingus

I would totally do him.

He’s one of the best things that has happened to the Democratic Party in decades. His unwavering devotion to his 50 state solution gave us Congress in 2006 and is bringing the money for 2008.
I would have voted for him in 2004 but I’m very glad he ended up where he is right now.

“Gene Simmons rocks!”

It’s not unlike The Scream, where false audio (without the noise in the room) created a totally false impression, which became the truth because it ran 24 hours a day until it did.
The moral is that if we give into that, all public figures turn into Stone Phillips, which is what happens when photogenic becomes the standard.

I think we have a winnah!
And yeah, Dean’s kinda hot, isn’t he?

There’s fighting tooth and nail, but I prefer fist and tongue.

That pic totally turns me on. Howard, call me! I’ll introduce to some Larry Craig type love.
Helena Montana
I think it’s cute.

This is another edition of “When the media hates you, they will get the worst pictures possible, and the fanboys will eat it up.”
Thank you for enabling our dysfunctional media.

Some friends of mine work for Democracy for America, a political advocacy and GOTV nonprofit group that grew out of the Dean for America PAC in some way I’m not totally clear on. DfA technically isn’t affiliated with the DNC, but Dean was very involved in getting it started, obviously, so they see a lot of him. At some holiday party — I think this was before I knew them, or maybe it was just after I met them but before I knew them well enough to be invited to the party — there was a game of charades. Apparently he’s good at the game, because he got them to guess “elephant” in record time.
Sure, the media is dysfunctional and assholes and all that, but Dean, bless his heart, is confident and fun enough to be willing to be undignified. In what context would an imitation of Gene Simmons look flattering?

I love him, I love him, I love him, and where he goes I’ll follow, I’ll follow, I’ll follow, he’ll always be my truelove, my truelove my truelove, from now until forever.

THat wasn’t my caption suggestion, but my reaction to that picture.
Caption suggestion: Punk-ass Establishment Democrats – taste the black sperm of my VENGEANCE!
What did he actually say at that moment? Was is something along those lines? They hated him in 04. And DFA’s last campaign was to make sure “progressives” won in Iowa, which meant Obama, Edwards, or Kucinich – they were identified by name. DFA is run by Howard’s brother Jim.
