I guess if pressed I'd say that I didn't see Dukakis poking fun at himself for the photo op in the tank. But then again in '88 I was still believing that I would be the next starting forward for the Celtics, so I may not have been paying close attention.
There aren't a whole bunch of pols out there who have been in Dean's exact position here (somewhat embarassing film clip, but no actual scandal). Unlike some in the press I am reluctant to assume I know what someone "would" do in a situation based on their public persona.
In other words, I thought Dean would have ignored this and just kept on campaigning. He didn't. I was impressed by that.
