Let's just state the obvious: New Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean is no Terry McAuliffe . Where the flashy former Clinton fundraiser was a gregarious ringmaster accustomed to the bling-bling of the highest non-publicly elected Democratic job around, Dean is almost a seminarian in his approach to the post. And, oddly, his style seems to fit with the party's bid to build its blue-collar base--just as McAuliffe's meshed with the DNC's need to raise gobs of money and go high tech.
What's so different? McAuliffe would limo around town, dropping in at the Palm to huddle with Washington big shots. The 2004 presidential hopeful, by contrast, takes the bus or subway, buying his own $1.35 ticket. Sometimes he bums rides from staffers or walks the four blocks to the Capitol for meetings. "Please Call Me Howard" never flies first class and always carries his own bags.
Other signs of the ex-guv's modest style: He eats at his desk, stays in a cheap D.C. hotel, and likes oxford shirts and penny loafers. Affectionately dubbed a "geek" by pals, he's often glued to his cellphone and loves E-mail. "His expertise is grass roots and his lifestyle is no different," says an associate. So far, Washington likes what it sees, surprised he's not the oddball that newsies pegged him as last year. Says an aide, smiling: "They're giving him a shot."

It's funny how the DC crowd is amazed that someone like Howard Dean would fly coach, carry his own bags, take the subway and asks people to call him by his first name. The dude is normal.

A comedian from Britain who has his own show (Russell Howard's Good News) and also appears on Mock the Week and on stage.
He is very funny, and makes jokes out of hilarious news stories, but sometimes throws in his unique perspective on life.
He has a lazy eye, which some sad people can't seem to understand as the reason for "His annoying twitch", and he lives in Warwickshire.
I would suggest watching his shows, they really make you laugh and feel better.
He also coined the phrase Tatty Bojangles.

Russell Howard: I think the papers are making Britain a worse place to live, don't you think?
Just the unremitting horror of the daily express, they might as well just get rid of news and print
DON'T GO OUTSIDE! IT'S FULL OF QUEERS, BLACK AND CRIME, OH IF ONLY DIANA WERE HERE!
They're all the same; the daily mail every day "ASBOS, muslims, speed camera, speed camera,
ASBOS, muslims, speed camera- then the sun: Are you a paedo? Are you? Are you?Have a bang at her tits, 16 today, are you a paedo!?". The Independent, you try and read it, it's like it's grabbing you by the throat: "ARE YOU RECYCLING?! ARE YA?! YOU'VE JUST KILLED A POLAR BEAR, YOU!". All the while, The Guardian's in the corner, fanning itself with a wall-chart: "You silly little things. Tell 'em, Telegraph." "CRICKEET! CRICKEEET!" It's too much!"
