When Mad Howie complained about hardball politics, one response was:
Craig Smith, Lieberman’s campaign manager, said Dean’s criticism “is like the mad cow calling the herd rabid.”
So how can you tell Mad Howard Dean from a Mad Cow? Here’s a handy guide.
| Mad Cow | Mad Howie | |
| Disposition | Mad | Mad |
| Home | Dairy | Dairy State |
| Brain Condition | Misfolded proteins | Misguided policies |
| Behavior | Flops around | Flip-flops |
| Purpose | Provides milk to the public | Milks the public |
| Effect | Spreads disease | Profits from disease |
| Beef | Hard to eat | Hardball |
| Accompaniment | Red wine | Red whine |
I hope that clears it all up.

you’re pretty stupid, not clever at all
