Howard Stern to have Dean on his show (maybe)

[bspence]

Howard Stern is offering $10,000 to certain people who decide to become a guest on his show. On the list of people who he'd give $10,000 to, Howard Dean was one. Actually, he was the only Democratic candidate to be offered this chance.

Personally, I think it'd be great. He could speak to a HUGE audience, and he'd change Howard's misconceptions about the Iraq war and how 'great' a president Bush is.

If it weren't for the fact that we're hip-deep in caucases, he should do it. But right now, I don't think he should rock the boat.

1. For one thing, Stern can't give Dean $10,000

For another thing, Stern is an idiot who doesn't deserve to participate in this process.

[bspence]

2. geez, ok....

Well, it technically goes to whoever can GET Dean to come on Howard's show, and Howard has just as much a right to join in the political process as anyone else. Howard Stern actually likes Dean, and is interested in what he has to say. Dean could win over lots of voters like Howard if he appears. At least he could move them away from Bush, and question his policies.

It's good news.

[Hep]

6. So would Dean come on before or after

Stern asks a self conscious young woman humiliating questions to see if she should be given a check for a tit job?

[Bombtrack]

12. Howard hasn't given away implants for years

and he let's women who want to get naked or show themselves off come on maybe 3 or 4 times a month at most. It is NOT what takes up even close most of his show.

People just think that because they always put those segments on the E! show.

[Hep]

16. PLEASE!

I guess if he doesn't do it MUCH then it's OK.

[Bombtrack]

20. Why is it not ok

Should women not be allowed to take off there clothes? Is this Saudi Arabia or America?

[Hep]

21. Wow

On the radio?? Are you really asking me that question?

Stern is a cypher. He has nothing to offer but entertainment. Entertainment is fine, but Sterm represents a mockery of political discourse in this country.

I'm not attacking what you listen to. Stern can do whatever he wants. But the list of reasons why no candidate should give him the time of say is long.

[Bombtrack]

24. It makes no sense that Imus should and Stern shouldn't

Imus is completely respected by the media and political elite, despite the fact that, unlike Howard, he's more or less a racism and homophobia lover.

Not only that, he wishes he was Howard Stern, and everything he has done format wise, is a crude imitation of Stern

[Hep]

27. I agree about Imus.

I have a lower opinion of Imus than I have of Stern. And don't get me started on the LOCAL morning talk hosts.

31. A couple months ago

I saw his show on E! In order to win a boob job, a girl ate a carrot stuck in the anus of one of those geeks that Howard has on. How will going on this show help Dean?

[Bombtrack]

33. Right, his E! show, which as i've said, is only the most racy moments

from his radio show. His fans know that.

I don't think going on his show would really help Dean, but I think it could help Clark, because I think Howard would be more impressed by a guy who was first in his class at West Point, a Rhodes Scholar, has 3 masters degrees, can speak 4 languages, saved a people in a war with no American casualties, and has risen from a poor beginning than Dean, who's background is almost identicle to Bush's, (and Stern has bashed Bush for being a silver-spoon kid).

That's not to say Dean wouldn't get a fair shake, as Howard has already given him, despite their disagreement on the war

3. Actually Stern has helped several candidates get elected.

Whitman in NJ
Pataki
Guliani's reelection
Ahnold

Dealing with Stern would be controversial, but he has access to 17,000,000 people.

[mikehiggins]

5. Interesting list of Stern backed politicians

Anyone notice anything they have in common?

Dean would be a certified moron to go anywhere near that jerks show.

Respect from Howard Stern?

Are you serious?

Maybe the original poster is looking for a 10k payday?

[Bombtrack]

9. Howard also helped Clinton twice and Gore once get elected with

his endorsment of both of them, despite the fact that Clinton gave the cold shoulder to Howard at a gathering

Howard is a centrist

[Hep]

7. 17,000,000 people

That certainly doesn't boost my opinion of The Masses (TM).

[Bombtrack]

17. So would you rather they listen to right wingers who make people

hate liberals and the poor, instead of Howard who makes people laugh and smile, as well as make people more liberal and less uptight in my opinion

[Hep]

19. LOL

Did you see the list of candidates he helped get elected?

Forgive me, I'd rather people listen to music or NPR. People buying into what RW talk show hosts AND Stern have to say is part of the problem with political discourse in this country.

[Doctor_J]

32. And don't forget

Molinari and D'Amato. He's mostly a repug. Stay away.

[Bombtrack]

15. sure he can

2000 from howard
2000 from Robin
2000 from Artie
2000 from Fred
2000 from Baba Booey

4. Eeeehhhh.....

I would have mixed feelings. Stern's program would give Dean a great deal of national exposure - especially to the younger generations of voters - but I'm not sure it's the type of exposure that Dean wants. Howard Stern, to say the least, is a polarizing media personality.

On one hand, Stern goes directly for the throat in interviews. He never messes around with softball or lead-up questions. Dean would be more than willing to answer the legit ones, and I think Stern would respect him greatly for it. On the other hand, Stern is also a proud gossip, and would certainly ask him many potentially-embarassing questions about sex, past embarassments of the Democrats, and the habits of the young people that partially make up his campaign (Stern has commented on the sub-culture of the Dean campaing before).

If I were an advisor to Dean, I'd advise him to decline. He has much to lose with comparitively little to gain.

[Bombtrack]

8. You're misrepresenting what he said

they were just throwing out names.

Howard said, "how about Howard Dean"

Robin then said "Yeah, lets get some presidential candidates"

They also wanted the reverend Al

Howard watches some of the debates but he doesn't know about the candidates too much

He said that he liked Kerry the best before, and when Robin brought up a story about John Edwards, Howard said he'd never heard of him, (even though he had watched debates).

But anyway it's not like he said that he only wanted Dean. I think Clark should go on his show

[Hep]

10. Yeah, maybe they can measure his penis or something

Maybe his wife can go on the show and strip so that they can all gawk and rate her. Maybe she'll win a boob job or something.

[Bombtrack]

13. He actually had some kind words about Dean's wife today

He read about her in the times, the new story about her not wanting to be involved in politics

He wasn't negative about her at all. He just thought it was an interesting story.

Artie asked if she was hot. And he said she was ok. He did not bring up her looks. Although he said he saw an old picture of her and she was "pretty cute". I think he likes jewish women anyway, because his girlfriend is jewish

[Hep]

18. And that's what it is about

how she looks. And you don't see a problem with this?

[Bombtrack]

22. He didn't bring up her looks

he started talking about the news story that everyone else is talking about. He was very positive about the fact that she does her own thing, and stays out of politics.

Artie Lange asked her if she was hot. He's an honest guy and loves talking about attractive women, but that's not all he talks about

[Hep]

23. When Artie asked that

What was Stern's response.

If it was anything other than, "This is a serious issue, and you're an idiot for trivializing it", it was worthless.

[styersc]

11. When you say "Stern to have Dean on his show" do you mean in the

carnal sense. I don't know if Howard doing Howard would be bad or good for either of them (career wise).

[zulchzulu]

14. If I were Joe Trippi, I'd pass on this one

Stern people don't give a crap about the election. Howard Stern would ask him stupid questions like "Does your wife do anal?" or "When you went skiing, did you also pick up hot chicks?"...

It would like walking into a minefield.

[absyntheNsugar]

25. Yes I agree

Only bad things can happen on that interview...

[Bombtrack]

26. No it wouldn't You'd know if you saw his interviews of "serious" people

He asks sex questions to people with wild, sexy, lives. Like Playmates or rockstars.

But when he's talking to people like Guliani, or Paul McCartney, or others, he has more mature conversations.

[zulchzulu]

28. Stern doing a "serious" interview? BWAHAHAHAHA!

If you think Stern would not want to make some kind of headlines with an interview with Dean, you have some things to learn about him.

I haven't listened to Stern for over a year or so. Has he discussed the candidates at all? I'd imagine that it would make most listeners hit the button and move on to some other shock jock.

[theboss]

29. He's had on a lot of politicians before

I find I actually learn more about them from a Stern interview than from Larry King, Barbara Walters, and Tim Russert combined.

[Bombtrack]

30. right

he likes Rockefeller republicans and Clinton democrats
