Question, what if Bush had....

[waylon]

made that screeching noise that Dean did?

What would we ALL be talking about? My point is, why are we trying so hard to apologize for Dean's behavior? Why CANT we expect more from a candidate?

I urge Dean supporters to do whatever you do and let Dean know that his behavior is being scrutinized. Im all for ABB but, how the hell are we going to win the GE if our nominee continually puts himself in these positions?

1. "Yeehaw" is pretty much in character for Bush.

2. The media is all...

over this to deflate Dean. I firmly believe that chimpy's famous "fool me once" blunder was FAR more deserving of this kind of hype, and yet only Jon Stewart properly ran with it. BTW, anyone have that video and the "feels good" video just prior to illegal war?

4. No one talks about all the dumb things Bush says especially

when he looks drunk. But if Dean gets a bit loud with his own supporters, it is repeated over and over again. I've stopped counting the number of times this has been brought up since the caucus.

5. Are you asking for yourself, or for Lou?

6. Myself, thank you for remembering me

The point is, when are we going to demand candidates act like candidates and not like they didnt get picked for the baseball team?

IMO, Dean's behavior not only reflects on Dean and his supporters, but all of us. Since Dean has seemed to capture so much enthusiasm and media attention, we all tend to be "grouped" into that. I am appauled at his series of less-than-politically-astute comments and actions and I dont know why his supporters dont agree with me. I would think they would want him to MAINTAIN!
