It's been called the "scream heard 'round the world." Now it's echoing in Pittsburgh.
Howard Dean was the Democratic front-runner in the 2004 presidential campaign until he responded to losing the Iowa caucus with a frenzied speech and wild whoop. Instead of rallying his troops, Dean's rant on national TV became one of the most laughed-at moments in political history and took the steam out of the former Vermont governor's bid for the White House.
Republicans plan to poke more fun at the episode when Dean, now chairman of the Democratic National Committee, appears today at a Democratic Party event in Lawrenceville. The Young Republicans of Allegheny County are hosting a "Howard Dean Scream" contest outside the Church Brew Works, 3525 Liberty Ave., where Dean is scheduled to speak at a $25-a-person money-raising rally.
Monica Douglas, executive director of the county GOP committee, said the idea "is just to create some buzz."
"We're hoping to have some great impressions of the infamous Dean-scream speech,"

Am I the only one that has noticed the disappearance of Howard Dean? No sound bites, no Sunday talk shows....zilch.
Somebody in the Democratic party must have called him aside and had a few words along the line of "make yourself small for awhile". He was shooting holes in the liberal boat from the inside but I guess they got him back into his virtual straightjacket.

Damien LaVera, a spokesman for the DNC, described the GOP counter-rally as "sad." He said Dean "is coming to Pittsburgh to talk about serious issues that affect Pittsburgh families and the best they can do is a silly scream contest."
"There are real issues that matter to real families. Let's talk about those," he said.
Get a life, pinhead.

Dean would raise more money if instead of going inside, he hangs around the screamers outside.
I am always good for a few bucks for Howie.

All they can charge is $25 for an event with the head of the national organization? That doesn't sound very impressive.
Then again, for a conservative it would be a great deal...much more entertainment for much cheaper than the cheap seats at the circus.

Although, I would've made it

I've actually heard people call hogs with a very similar sound.
Wait, he was speaking to Democrats.

"The Hillary Hide The Documents Contest?"
I think that is a good idea, but I think a "Hillary Hides Her Very Ugly Legs In A Pants Suit Contest" would be even more fun.
Yes, I am very mean. And I like it. :-)

Dean's currently receiving shock therapy for a certain affliction. They have him down to a low mumble.
