"It was supposed to be a joke for the office." Stated Howard Dean, "Most people don't know this, but I used to be a hacker/coder when I was 15 years old. Of course, back then I was writing stuff in COBOL on IBM mainframes. Nonetheless, I did it for fun to lighten up the office, not as a malicious attack. It was a joke that just got out of hand. I guess it's just another one of those things I do without thinking. I meant well though."
