Chicago Tribune Emphasizes Traditional Values
Think this'll be an issue? The Chicago Tribune has a story with the headline of "Judy Dean breaks out of shell on caucus eve." Problem is, I don't think that she ever took his name (in fact, I seem to recall reading the opposite). The Trib's backstop...
Although Dean has spent all or part of more than 70 days in Iowa since Jan. 1, 2003, Judy Dean--known professionally as Dr. Judith Steinberg--had never been to the state before her visit Sunday.
... is a little unpersuasive when the rest of the article exclusively refers to her as "Judy Dean" (incidentally, not once is she referred to as "Mrs. Dean"). Just all-around weird. If she's not going to take his name, that's certainly her right - the two of them have the quintessential modern, professional marriage and that speaks well of Howard Dean's character. But the Chicago Tribune should not patronize her, and the rest of us, by implying otherwise.
UPDATE: Stephen Green is charmed
