Karl Rove was on best behaviour at Time Warner's inaugural Conversations on the Circle this week in New York - until he was asked about Howard Dean. Rove surprised the audience by revealing the existence of a second "Dean scream". Rove disclosed that the White House had a tape of the scream, which erupted at the end of a speech to the California Democratic state convention in Sacramento on March 15 2003. Dean, then a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, declares: "I want my country back! [cheers]. We want our country back! [cheers]. I'm tired of being divided! [cheers]....

<p>Howard Dean (news - web sites) is on the verge of an astonishing comeback.

HOWARD DEAN, whose promising bid to become the Democrats’ presidential candidate imploded with his “Iowa scream” last year, is set to become the party’s leader. The post of Democratic Party chairman will, to the delight of Republicans, make him the party’s public face and the main opposition spokesman to President Bush. Martin Frost, a centrist former Texan congressman and one of Dr Dean’s few remaining strong rivals, dropped out of the race yesterday after failing to win support from the national trade unions. After Dr Dean, a former Vermont Governor, won the endorsement of the party’s state chairmen on Monday,...

Howdy. I'm looking for (preferred) video footage or an audio sound file of Howard Dean's famous scream. I am working on a video for the Inaugural Ball. I'd like to include it. Thanks, 'Pod

If you had told us one year ago that we were going to come in third in Iowa, we would have given anything for that. And you know something? You know something?

Hope for great election died with Dean Email this story Printer friendly format BY KEN KURSON Ken Kurson is co-author, with Rudolph Giuliani, of "Leadership." July 27, 2004 It should have been Dean. All over New York City - and many other sure-thing Democratic locales - young volunteers are trying to register other volunteers. Their clipboards and t-shirts and classified newspaper ads do not say "Kerry '04." They say "Help Defeat Bush." That's a problem for John Kerry, and it's a problem for the electorate. I support President George W. Bush and would vote for him regardless of his Democratic...

Howard Dean may have a shot at a pro wrestling career if his bid for the White House doesn't pan out. After his disappointing finish in the Iowa caucuses on Monday (see "John Kerry Scores Solid Victory In Iowa Caucuses"), a red-faced Dean made a impassioned entreaty to his supporters in Des Moines that left him hoarse and sounded reminiscent of wrestler Randy "Macho Man" Savage's patented "Oooooh yeah!" The gruff, fist-pumping appeal made its way onto the Internet, where inventive and aspiring remixers have added their own sardonic twists to the fiery speech. One of the first remixes to...

That saucy Dennis Miller still plays the recording on his program on CNBC, but now Howard Dean, the sore loserman of 2004, claims the scream that finished his campaign "never happened." Trying to explain away his crazy, red-faced rant after his loss in Iowa, Dean recently told a crowd of broadcasters in Washington that he was merely trying to make himself heard over his loudmouth supporters, Broadcasting & Cable magazine reports. He claimed that none of the (pro-Democrat) reporters on hand who heard the speech noted anything unusual and that it "was only the next day, when their editors...

Howard Dean: Scream 'Never Happened' By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 6/14/2004 3:25:00 PM Howard Dean said the scream speech "never happened," and that its repetition more than 900 times in the following week showed cable "at its worst" and revealed cable news as a "Murdochized" entertainment medium, not journalism. The former Vermont governor and presidential candidate calls it part of the "Murdochization," of cable, referring to the growing success of Rupert Murdoch's Fox News Channel. "Not because Murdoch is a right winger, which he is," says Dean, "but because [Fox News Channel head] Roger Ailes is so incredibly...

"And [Gov. Howard Dean (D-VT)] also attacked Mr. Kerry's candidacy, saying he thought the senator would be a weak contender in the general election. 'He's going to have a hard time if he's the nominee,' Dr. Dean said. 'I think electability's a real issue for him. He appears to change his mind so often.' Dr. Dean went on to assert that Mr. Kerry's 'credibility is under enormous attack, repeatedly,' citing his votes in favor of the use of force in Iraq and of President Bush's education plan. 'He has this pattern,' Dr. Dean said, 'you saw it with No...

“Sound Engineer Kills Presidential Hopeful” "The implosion of Howard Dean as a Presidential hopeful, the furor over John Kerry's remarks, and the many slips by President Bush are a result of poor audio management on the speaking platform." Top International Media Consultant tells Washington reporters. “The implosion of Howard Dean can be directly traced to poor audio management, as can John Kerry’s disastrous remarks over crooked Republicans” explained Alan Simpson, the International Media Consultant, to reporters and communications professionals in Washington, DC. “The use of refined audio from a noise canceling microphone, without mixing the crowd noise for atmosphere,...

In describing the program, the Discovery's homepage says, "Howard Dean may have wondered what all the fuss was about after his exuberant scream in Iowa. He found out in the next few days. But Dean is in good company: Some of the nation's most accomplished politicians have suffered setbacks, because of gaffes or just plain bad luck." Here are a few examples:...
