This week, Dean has been taking that test, confronted by questions over his decision to seal up documents relating to his decisions as governor for 10 years. Why do such a thing, ask suspicious minds, if he hasn't got anything to hide?

Was it really his decision? I would imagine that there are some well-paid lawyers somewhere that did it, not Dean itself. As for why it was done, if your advisors suddenly can't give advice without it being made public then likely the quality of your advisors (and therefor your advice) will decrease. Its not unheard of for advisors to basically play the other side in an argument (e.g. an argument over particular bill), not because they agree with what they are saying, but just because a counter-argument is needed to prepare for the real fight (It is generally easier to prepare for a fight if you can guess what the opposition is going to do before hand). Why should someone who thought he was giving confidential advice years ago have what he said revealed when he isn't the one running for office?

When Dean was asked as to his favourite musician, a question to which he responded: 'Wyclef Jean'. Oh dear.

What the heck does Dean's favorite musician have to do with anything?
