I never got what the big deal was about the scream. To me it was media hype to get rid of an insurgent. The fix was in.
You’re so right. Dean was surging in the polls. But that scream was heard 24/7 for the next week, and he was out of there. Sure, it was funny, and I can’t blame the late night hosts for running with it, but the so-called serious media blew it all out of proportion. I don’t remember the John Kerry bunny suit picture being plastered on every newspaper and TV.
