Soon turning 70 myself, I truly find Dr. Dean's comments to be extremely offensive to older people in general, in addition to being just politically oblivious, as well clearly to be his own attempt to vitiate and abnegate his headlong support of Hillary, plus the blindsiding effects of the several different leaders of the Democratic Party.
Maybe those remarks by Howard are forgivable as a brash outburst on a morning talk show, but in the final analysis, Dr. Dean's remarks are ultimately worthy of being ignored; they further consign him to the dust bin of history.
It makes me sad to recognize that, because a little over a decade ago, I was one of Dean's most fervent and most idealistic supporters. He is a bright guy and was a good governor of Vermont, but on this issue, he is out to lunch. I truly don't understand what he has against Bernie Sanders.
