I know I'll probably get flamed for saying this, but I'm beginning to feel a bit sorry for old Howard has-been.

DAMN! It was sooooo much fun watching him. I was hoping the idiot would've lasted a bit longer! GOOD-BUH laughs, it was great while it lasted! Bummer!

I saw a colleague get on top of a large conference table in front of three women several years ago. I told the CEO about it and he said he was just reacting from a lot of stress! Perhaps Dean just got wound up a bit too tight?

I won't flame you. This incident has exposed one of our culture's less appealing characteristics: Overdoing hatchet jobs on people who say or do something embarassing. It applies to all areas of life in our country, not just politics.

However, Howard Dean wants to be President and acting like a jackass should disqualify one from being President.

I really don't think Howard Dean is a bad person; he just got too caught up in the madman bit and lost his way.

Wesley Clark, on the other hand, scares me. His statements lead one to suspect that there are serious character issues there. Frankly, I'd probably pick Dean over Clark if I had no other choice. The best way I can describe Clark is Al Haig on 'roids.

Don't, there's likely a rap career in his future.

No flame here. I'll go one further, I dont think his "yeaaaaaw!" was nearly as bad as the media (liberal and conservative) have made it out to be. I finally saw the video, and he was CLEARLY just having fun. Its not like he looked like Randy Savage the wrestler (tho he did sound like him).

I think this is all a major hit job by the media(s). The conservative media, because they just dont like the guy, and the liberal media, because they dont think he is electable.

I feel sorry that it didn't happen to him sooner.

I'm very happy that the hero to the anti-war ANSWER youths has gone down in flames. Next on the menu....Clark for the same reason (and his connection to the Clintons).

Yes, it isn't nice to ridicule the mentally ill.

Naw, I hear you. I don't feel sorry for him in the least, but I think it is getting a little overblown. I saw it on TV live and thought it was goofey and basically reinforced my opinion that he's kind of nutty, but didn't give it another thought until the news latched on. But keep one thing in mind..,.he came in third in Iowa...it's not like he had this decisive first place finish, let out the scream, and now everything is going down the toliet. With or without the scream, he doesn't appear to be the shoe-in everyone was saying he was a few weeks ago.

He pissed off the national media, which was a big mistake. He blamed them for his Iowa problems, told 'em to "get a life" and then did his Monday night rant the same evening.

The national media reporters may not have gotten a life but they sure got even with a Dean-given opportunity.

How many times has "Howard's End" - the Dean press conferance been shown on TV? And that awful scream he gave is replayed everywhere.

This reminds me of Sen. Gary Hart, who while running as a presidential candidate, sneered at the press and dared them to find any dirt on him. Some Florida reporters trailed him, found Donna Rice and "The Monkey Business" and Gary "Hartpence" was roasted all over the national media. It's twenty years or so later, and he's still "Mr.Monkey Business".
