There'd be something to Eugene's point if Dean had been a wrestler or grown up
working class. Here's some of his background:

"Dean is from America's elite. He grew up in an 11th-floor apartment on New
York's Park Avenue, the eldest son of Andree and Howard Dean II, a wealthy
stockbroker. It was a childhood of a holiday home in the Hamptons (the US
equivalent of a weekend cottage in the Cotswolds) and boarding schools. Dean
senior was an avid Republican and a hard man, known as 'Big Howard'. Dean
himself got the family moniker 'Little Howard', but it is a safe bet no one
calls him that now. It was a time of maids, servants and wanting for
nothing."
