A walk on the wild side: According to the New York Daily News, Howard Dean's campaign manifesto is coming out soon, describing Dean's "youthful drunken behavior and his occasional adventures in petty theft." Graciously, The Daily News offers up a sample of Dean's crazy antics:
Dean also reminisces about his fraught relationship with alcohol...
"Once we were 18, we could indulge in lazy days of 'Baseball and Ballantine,'" Dean writes. "We'd buy some beer and put it in a garbage can of ice and play softball all day long. If you hit somebody's beer with a batted ball, it was an automatic out." Update: a couple of readers (both in comments and over e-mails) have informed me that the drinking age in 1966 was 18. Fair enough. I was never worried about that. Originally I just wanted to point out that Dean's "wild behavior" seemed rather, well, lame. ("Drinking beers at 18? Big deal..." &c) But John Buckholz has informed me that 'Baseball and Ballantine' is in fact, wild 'n' crazy, and Dean can reclaim his boozehound crown. Thank you, and good day.
