Being There
Dr. Dean is sounding and looking a lot like Chauncy Gardner these days. On the heels of General Weasly Clark gaining 17 points on him, his all powerful aides have begun spinning.Dr. Dean, who has spent two years campaigning as the candidate willing to say what he thinks, initially told reporters that he would be "happy" to discuss his tax policy. Then, as aides glared at him, he immediately said a senior adviser had "veto power" over what he would say.
"I'm not allowed to say I'm happy to do anything anymore," he added.
But this is the best part:
He added, "I sometimes speak elliptically, so I leave out pieces that seem to me to be obvious but aren't obvious to the people who haven't heard me talk about whatever the subject before."
He said, "There's been more than one time when I've said something, and sort of the middle of what I've said is not said but thought, and therefore assumed to be understood, which is a ridiculous assumption on my part, but sometimes gets me in trouble."
Huh?
