Memo from the Dean's Office
Howard Dean finished third in the Iowa caucus, and launched into a tirade.
Dean's collapse, combined with the combined surge of Sen. Kerry (Mass.) and Sen. John Edwards (N.C.), who finished second, threw the race wide open.It also raised fresh questions about Dean's temperament when he launched into a screaming, clenched-teeth rant before his supporters after the vote count.
Sorta what my kids used to do when passing through the toy section at Walmart, and couldn't get what they wanted. Of course they were three then.
Where's Mama Dean when you need her?
Rolling up his shirt sleeves and shrieking so loud that his voice cracked, a raging Dean rallied his supporters with forced optimism and a pugilistic tone that stood in contrast to the formal upbeat speeches by his opponents."I'll see you around the corner, around the block," Dean said, sounding like a bully taunting Kerry and Edwards, whom he'll face in the New Hampshire primary Tuesday.
We want THIS guy to be President? Forget passing Kyoto: We owe it to the planet to keep this wingnut away from "The Football".
"He's crazy," said Republican pollster Frank Luntz after watching Dean's bizarre performance. "This is everything that voters don't want to hear from him. He's just lost the Democratic nomination for president. He's too hot."
Hot Presidents to a hot planet lead. Noooo thank you!
