Would one of you freepers please post an audio link to the Dean outburst? I'm the only person in America who hasn't seen it yet.

What an odd place to wear the face of his watch.

When his head spins around, angular momentum is conserved by counter-rotating his watch.

The best send-up I saw was on Craig Kilbourn, where they intercut the Dean rant with scenes from the American Idol judges, ending with Simon Cowell rubbing his temples, saying "Without a doubt, that was the worst performance I've ever seen."

Here's the idea: Take the Dean audio clip where he names all the states he's going to. Take the Bush State of the Union audio clip where he names all the countries that are allied with us. Interweave the two audio clips so that you hear Bush, then Dean, then Bush, then Dean, etc., etc., until the end of both clips. Then end with Dean's primal scream as his grand finale and something more sedate from Bush, such as his closing "God bless America." Kind of a comparison/contrast exercise. IMO it would top all of MoveOn's political ads in a heartbeat. It could even be done in video instead of just audio.

Great idea. I'd do it if I knew how. Who could send Rush this idea and his folks can put this together. He has a guy that does a lot of parodies on the Dems and other issues.

So, you looked back and read what you posted, and you don't see a problem? (The sentence containing the word "progress" makes zero sense to me.)

No, I don't. As a title for a fictional biography, I think "How a king may go a progress through the guts of a beggar: The Story of howard dean" is kind of funny.

On the radio here in Atlanta the DJ played the squeal and said it sounded "like a gay guy at a shoe sale".

Hmm. Well, what makes it funny? Is it unintelligible by design? Is it supposed to recall some grammatical gaffe of Dean's that I don't know about? What the heck does it mean?

Sorry it didn't make any sense to you. I was quoting from memory. I looked up the actual quote just to be sure I had it right. "How a king may go a progress through the guts of a beggar" is a crude excerpt of the following (I underlined and colored in red the part in question):

Hamlet

Act IV. Scene III

Enter Hamlet and Guildenstern.

King. Now, Hamlet, where’s Polonius?

Ham. At supper.

King. At supper! Where?

Ham. Not where he eats, but where he is eaten: a certain convocation of politic worms are e’en at him. Your worm is your only emperor for diet: we fat all creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for maggots: your fat king and your lean beggar is but variable service; two dishes, but to one table: that’s the end.

King. Alas, alas!

Ham. A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm.

King. What dost thou mean by this?

Ham. Nothing, but to show you how a king may go a progress through the guts of a beggar.

Oh, Shakespeare. That explains why it made zero sense to me.

Thanks. ;O)

Again, sorry for the obscurity. Funny thing though, King Claudius wondered the same thing.

Who were those people, and what will they do now that they've discovered "their man" is a whackjob?

Go back to surfing gay porn sites? (Its just a guess)

I always wear my watch face inward. In construction there is less surface to snag and the face is protected. I don't know why a doctor would do it unless he didn't want it to get hung up on your gizzard.

Is it just me or does Dean look like Oswald if he had lived to be older and heavier.

So often I notice, they have the same sneer.
