Howard Dean Doesn't Know the Star-Spangled Banner!

Fox News | 1814 | Francis Scott Key

Did anyone else see that?!

Just now on Fox News, Howard Dean was shown at one of his rallies singing his rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner. He got many of the words wrong and didn't seem to know other parts of it.

[dfwgator]

In other words, he's pretty much like every other celebrity who sings the Star Spangled Banner at sporting events.

[cmsgop]

I saw it too!

[antaresequity]

I don't know the words...but know when it is screwed up...

[bcoffey]

Move over, Roseanne Barr...

Did he scratch his crotch, too (like she did)?

[Argus]

He gets it confused with the Internationale.

[July 4th]

Total nutjob.

[pax_et_bonum]

"I don't know the words...but know when it is screwed up..."

Yes, but you're not running for President!

[McGruff]

Oh good, now I can give my new award.

[Morgan's Raider]

It did sound like a suprising number (half dozen or so) of the Dean Children's Crusade knew the words. Maybe they passed out cheat sheets before the rally and those were the ones old enough to read.

[codger]

I certainly don't think you should be bragging about not knowing the words to the National Anthem.

[The Wizard]

and he sounded just as nutz as last night. Imagine not knowing the words.....

[Viking2002]

Francis Scott Key just did a 360 in his crypt.......

[tapatio]

Saw that on Special Report with Brit Hume.

Ah, well, you know that ol' Francis Scott Key -- he was a one-hit wonder. Didn't even write enough tunes to make a "greatest hits" CD, much less a box set. So he probably not in Dr. Dean's musical library.

[Lazamataz]

O say Tattooine,
By Red Dawns early blight,
What so loudly we scaled
At her thigh-heights last creaming.

Who's broad thighs and tight bra,
through the terrible night,
O'er the rampant Sasquatch,
Were so Haliburton dreaming.

And the sockets dead stare,
The Toms cursing over there,
Glazed poof on the right,
That the fag did not care.

O Say does that Tar-Bangled spanner yet crave,
O'er the gland of us three,
And the tome of depraved.

[hobson]

The main news story today is about Dean losing as opposed to Kerry winning. If it bleeds it leads. LOL

[bootyist-monk]

Oh, say can you see
by the dawn's early light
what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming.

who's bright strips and broad stars
in the parelious night,
o'er the rampart's we watched,
as the da da, da, da, da, da.

And the rocket's red glare
lots of bombs in the air
gave proof to the night
that we still had a flag

oh say does that spangle banner wave
over all-l-l-l-l that's free
over the home
of the land
and the land of the free!

I am no Howard Dean fan, but it was obvious that hecklers were being led out of the rally and he was singing (you must admit a clever idea to deal with that situation) and watching the action and anybody can trip over words when they lose concentration.

In other words, there is plenty to criticize him about without claiming "he doesn't know the words", when that is not a fair conclusion.

Flame away.

[tapatio]

I bet that is his favorite song too!Just like Job was his favorite!
