(2003-11-05) — Democrat presidential contender Howard Dean today announced that he wants to be the candidate of so-called “mean people.” The remark came just after Mr. Dean refused to apologize for courting voters who display Confederate flags in their pickup trucks.
“I’ve seen the bumper stickers disparaging mean people,” said Mr. Dean, “but the Democrat party has to be a big tent. Mean people need to vote their economic interest.”
Although the former Vermont governor acknowledged that some of his best friends are mean people, he said he’s not sure he would want his daughter to marry one.
