The 'Bizarre Rant' That Destroyed Howard Dean

Howard Dean's "bizarre rant" after his defeat in Iowa is looking like the fatal blow to his campaign, according the New York Post and others.

"I used to be on the Dean bandwagon, but now I feel as if he's imploding," said medical student Eliza Shulman.

"I was really scared when I saw him on TV. I can't believe I used to be for that guy. It's embarrassing."

The Post quoted "stunned" strategists for Democrat rivals, including this one: "I don't know how he'll ever be able to convince voters that he has the gravitas, temperament and judgment to be president."

The two-day-old outburst continues to be the talk of the nation. Jay Leno last night had his audience roaring with jabs at the former front-runner: "Did you see that speech Howard Dean gave last night? I heard that the cows in Iowa are now afraid of getting mad Dean disease."

On "The Daily Show," Jon Stewart showed comical footage of a previous rant in which Dean practically choked on his own hatred as he vowed to send President Bush "back to Crawford, Texas." Stewart likened him to Gollum, the split-personality creature from "Lord of the Rings," and showed a graphic with Dean's face superimposed on Gollum's body.

Republican strategist Kellyanne Conway told the Post, "This was the latest episode in the new reality show: 'Howard Dean's Freak Show.'

"He comes across either as a child who's throwing a temper tantrum and taking his ball and going home from the sandbox, or a grown man whose temper is really disturbing."

That I understand ... but Dean seems to be wearing it outward, where it is very difficult to read, and apt to be bumped all the time.

But hey, I'm female, what do I know about men and their watches? The good Dr. Dean will never get near MY gizzard!

Man, that is scary. I could see Dean wearing a "Fair Play for Cuba" sandwich board on a street corner now.

Howard Dean's "bizarre rant" after his defeat in Iowa is looking like the fatal blow to his campaign, according the New York Post and others.

Howard Dean has been demonstrating anger and a strange penchant for incoherent rants from the beginning, it only became "bizarre" when he became a loser.

ROFL!!!!!!!!! Second best historical Photoshopping ever. (The first is the Oswald one that has already been posted to this thread.)

I wonder what howard dean would look like, if he put on a square mustache on his upper lip.

Dr. Deanmento has gone down hill so fast he must have been on the cover of Sports Illustrated AND in a Campbell's soup commercial.

I think one of the flying monkeys first said something like this about the wicked witch when she was melting.

About the only thing he still hasn't done is take off one of his shoes and pound it on a desk for extra emphasis. Nikita Dean lived up to his sobriquet and sure as heck didn't disappoint us! hehehehehe

"Nikita Dean lived up to his sobriquet and sure as heck didn't disappoint us! hehehehehe"

It's funny, but it's not.

Dean's nomination as the dimrut 2004 nomination was Bushs' best hope of keeping the White House in 2004.

Bush's advisors (Rove) seem to have overlooked two major ingredients for a winning recipe:

#1: The one taking Dean's place won't be as easy to beat.

and

#2: The near-revolution Bush has called among conservativs and liberals alike over his migrant invasion reform.

The fat lady has an opera a day to sing between now and November 10th.

Another good line from some column titled "The Dean I had a Scream Speech."

[Former Proud Canadian]

Yes. I was hoping Dean would wait until AFTER he had the nomination to go nuts on national TV. Too bad, so sad.

[Happy2BMe]

Your Adolph Dean is making a big hit.

Great work, Mr AutoResponder!

"Don't pay any attention to the man behind the curtain . . .!" The great Wizard from Oz proclaims.

Boy, does that apply to Dean and others . . . (Hehehe)
