Yeagh

Dr. Dean, re-mixed and re-hosted for your enjoyment.

I guess my question is...why was a big deal made of Dean's speech in the first place? Sure, it was a bit goofy...but it was a "rallying the troops" speech as I saw it. WTF?

I'm with you Syc. Letting off steam at worst.

lumberjim · 01-22-2004, 07:05 PM

cuz he sounds so ridiculous? Like a bad wrestler manager?

This is a guy that's running for president, not governor of minnesota, after all. He's got no chance

has anyone heard Howard Stern's medley? funnnnnny

Happy Monkey · 01-22-2004, 07:24 PM

Of course, Howard Stern also said the same thing sycamore did.

vsp · 01-22-2004, 08:15 PM

Oh, you want Yeagh?

Here's some <a href="http://homepage.mac.com/jonathanbarlow/.Public/howarddean.mp3">Yeagh Dance Mix</a>.

And some <a href="http://blog.netwarriors.org/f/deandance2.mp3">more</a> Yeagh.

And, oh, why not some <a href="http://jimtreacher.com/uncanny2.wav">Yeagh, "Deliverance"-style?</a>

(FWIW, I liked the Yeagh. Joe Lieberman couldn't Yeagh if his testicles were on fire.)

Makes more sense than a president declaring a 'crusade' in the Middle East, or responding to threats against troops with 'bring it on'.

A little honest exuberance is refreshing.

Writing him off already? Jeez...

Like our current president hasn't said/done anything ridiculous...or the one before him.

Griff · 01-24-2004, 09:20 AM

I finally caught the video, it wasn't that bad. It's not like he said, "bring 'em on!" and sacrificed the lives of a bunch patriotic kids who didn't know their President was insane.

ya know what? I don;t know a thing about him, and i have an intrinsic sense of apathy toward the whole bullshit presidential election farce that we are subjected to. When I say he's got no chance, it is purely commentary on how this loss of cooth in public will most likely be used against him to ridicule him, and undermine his credibility.

I could be wrong. It's happened once before: I thought i was wrong about something, but it turned out that I was right.

Context. It's not just the Yeagh but the three weeks of daily gaffes that preceded it, followed by the rejection of the man by an attentive electorate, followed by the Yeagh.

warch · 01-30-2004, 10:54 AM

Dean has done more than any candidate to raise the important issues. He has dared to speak out and show leadership. He has dared to voice disent. He's an open target of big media and not slickly packaged. He's not smarmy enought I guess.

His "anger", crazy liberalness...?! please. get beyond the friggin sound byte, wouldcha? Its just media bloodsport. But issues are not as entertaining, are they? I look at Bush's gaffes- his unability to piece two unscripted sentences together...how does he get such a pass? strategery.

Now its Dean's "bizzare" wife who "refuses" to share his name and "refuses" to support his campaign...think of it! She has her own life! What a freak! Great article in the Nation:

The media didn't force him to say bin Laden should be considered innocent until proven guilty.

Tom Brokaw didn't tell him he should use a semantic trick to accuse Bush of knowing about 9/11 before the event.

The bizarre claim that we could have healthcare for all if it wasn't for those silly tax cuts? Media didn't point that one out, but I will: bullshit...

The media has merely picked up on the fact that Dean is unappealing to the general public and proves it every day, once a day. Anti-Bushites should be overjoyed that voters consider electability the number-one issue in selecting a candidate... and then pick anyone other than Dean.
