Listeners of the Canadian CJAD radio station were in for quite a shock yesterday, as they listened to former Vermont governor and presidential candidate Howard Dean discuss American politics.
In Montreal to attend a luncheon, the man was being driven to his next event when, mid-sentence, his vehicle was abruptly struck by another car.
Listen to a clip of the event, via CJAD, below:
“BOOM!” You can hear, then: “…We just got hit by a car, I’m sorry, ah, I’m gonna have to goodbye.”
“Are you okay?” the radio host asked.
“Ya I’m, everybody’s fine…it’s gonna be a bit of a struggle,” he responded, before disconnecting.
Dean seemed extremely calm and composed throughout the mishap. So much so, that it‘s almost hard to believe it’s the same man who once made this sound:

Posted on May 16, 2012 at 2:01pmRegardless of his political views, no one should wish him harm in a car accident. Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves and ask yourself, “would my approve of me wishing someone harm”.

Posted on May 16, 2012 at 1:57pmWaaaay too many of us commentors have assumed Howard was driving. Dollars to, uh…forgit it, donuts ARE a dollar. I bet you Howard was riding in a black Suburban, armored to a lesser degree than OBO’s l5,000lb “tank on wheels”.

Not nearly as embarrassing as that “war cry” he let out, that possibly ended his political career.

Posted on May 16, 2012 at 1:37pmWas he using a “hands free” cell phone or a “hands free” steering wheel”?
I wonder if the State in which this happened has a “no cell phone while driving law”?
