Audio Clip of Dean Losing His Mind

The Drudge Report ^ | 1/19/04

[My Favorite Headache]

STEP INTO A SLIM JIM!!!!!

[flying Elvis]

Okay, someone with talent link Dean's meltdown to DMX's rap song: "Party UP (Up in here). Here's the chorus:

Y'all gon' make me lose my mind
up in HERE, up in here
Y'all gon' make me go all out
up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me act a FOOL
up in HERE, up in here
Y'all gon' make me lose my cool
up in here, up in here

[ambrose]

"ON TO WASHINGTON DC!!!!! YEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

[Benrand]

It sounds a lot like Jello Biafra.

[fhayek]

This is an unmitigated disaster for the D-man. Raising money just got tougher. And, he is going to have to spend more of it if he is going to win the nomination. Then he won't have any left to go after Bush.

BWAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAHAAAAA.

[L.N. Smithee]

Oh yeah, he self destructed. The part where he shreaked after his rant was too much!

That shriek at the end will either make him or break him. If he doesn't win the White House, that shriek will go down in history alongside Michael Dukakis' tank ride and Edmund Muskie's tears.

[doug from upland]

That's wonderful. Now, will someone put the Hillary screaming clip on this so we can listen to them one after the other for a great laugh?

[doug from upland]

Total Recall???

[ambrose]

Hillary screams and throws lamps in private, not with the cameras rolling.

[ambrose]

Yep.

[doug from upland]

The strongest RAT ticket might be Kerry/Edwards. The Breck Girl may be able to take a few southern states. That would be a GOP disaster.

[flying Elvis]

It reminds of Ted Turner's wrestling shows from Atlanta during the 1970s. All Screwie Hoowie needs is Gordon Solie standing next to him.

[RichInOC]

...begging the question: How can you lose what you never had in the first place?

[XJarhead]

I've already seen some other websites with some former Dean supporters after that one. That is just an absolute classic.

[ambrose]

Algore couldn't carry squat in the South, so I don't see why Breck Girl would be any different.

By the by, given Dean's hysterics this evening, I don't see him just quietly dropping out and vanishing into the night.

Here is a direct link to the video, saves some digging around the Fox site...a brief commercial for Fox News comes first before Howie starts his rant...

[Delphinium]

DARN!, I wanted him to win. That would have been fun.

[omniscient]

"Let's not wallow in the mud."

No, let's wallow for at least a little bit. This is a political meltdown of historical magnitude which will become textbook material on speechmaking "don'ts," and we should savour it as such.

And the real bonus is imagining what's going through the minds of Martin Sheen, Rob Reiner, Janeane Garafalo, etc. as they realize they've been publicly campaigning for a raving lunatic.

Obviously, it's bad for GWB, but I'm sure Plan B is in full swing.

[My2Cents]

After listening to the clip, I'm still convinced that Dean represents the soul of the Democrat Party.

[RichInOC]

Just went over to foxnews.com to watch that clip (had to go directly, that link didn't work for me). "Hysteria" might be a bit strong, but the good governor is definitely an excitable gent, just a bit more so than I think I want to see in a president (of any party).

Eeeeeeasy, Howie. Down, boy.
