Primal Dean

I read the wheels came off Howard Dean on Monday night.
Everyone was talking about his speech, “We’re going to New Hampshire! And Nebraska! And Boise! And Constantinople!!! And Paris on a yellow submarine!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!” Or something like that.
In any case, reading about the primal scream made me think he let out a howl like Schwarzenneger would have in any one of his movies except Kindergarten Cop. Come to think of it he probably screamed at the kids once or twice.
Anyway – I watched the video on the Foxnews.com site and came away thinking, “That’s it?” Dean was doing his best demogoguery, which turned out to make him look like a mental patient. It wasn’t an action-film scream. It was just silly.
But he was getting egged on by a crowd of Deanies. Perhaps mental patients travel in packs.

  1. Oh, forget what people wrote about the rant and the scream: that doesn’t matter. The thing itself confirms that Dean’s a hothead. I heard it live over the radio in my car, and just laughed out loud. What an embarrassment.
    Olbermann had fun with it on his PMSNBC show last night, highlighting the states on a map as Dean named them off, fumbling, repeating himself. Oh, yeah: Missouri!
    My favorite headline was Drudge’s: “Dean Goes Nuts”.

  2. Liberalism is a mental illness. Don’t expect this outburst to frighten any of his followers. He is just the leader of the cukoo nest.
    How come no one has mentioned the words “Napolian Complex” in this campaign yet?

  3. From what I heard on the news, this outburst has frightened away some of his New Hampshire voters. Or at least made them rethink their position. They said that he just didn’t look presidential when he was screaming like a gargoyle in heat.

  5. Am I the only Gen-Xer who thinks Dean’s scream sounded eerily like Kermit the Frog making an introduction on The Muppet Show?

  6. I didn’t know that gargoyles ever got in heat, Coward…straining not to make a joke about stones being hard….
