'Insane' scream a bit of fun: Dean

[45th Med]

By Rodney Dalton, New York correspondent

THE morning after acting like a man requiring urgent medical attention, Howard Dean yesterday diagnosed his post-caucus fit in Iowa as a case of needing to have "a little fun in this business".

But gobsmacked commentators compared Dr Dean's performance - which included emitting a long scream that most newspapers translated as "Yaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" - to a scene from The Exorcist.

1. Hey, great timing.

Just when we're trying to talk the more militant Dean supporters out of jumping party. Thanks a hell of a lot for all your help.

2. jump through hoops, dancing bear!

cuz the media defines what's acceptable, and what isn't, in US politics! When bush used crude language (calling reporter an asshole) the media covered for him; just like they were all over clinton/lewinsky story, for months on end (they attack who it's SAFE to attack) while ignoring so much of bush's crimes...too bad Dean couldn't use his 'rebel' yell to show how mass media has sold its soul to the devil..... and the American people are going to suffer if they trust the media 'whores'
Dr Dean has no choice but to utilize every weapon the mediawhores give him....and turn media hatred for him into a democratic party advantage...
