19. The Dean Scream is a scream!!
I watched it live with my wife and twelve year old daughter. If the DLC rigged the tape, they rigged it live, because I will never forget the reactions to that piece of art! My jaw dropped, my wife snickered in disbelief, and my 12 year said "Oh my god, that was weird!"

Dean gives a pep rally speech because he has plummetted drastically in the polls over two weeks and finished a distant third in a race the media promised us he had already won, makes the goofiest sound any politician has ever made, and to some people, the media destroyed him. He was already destroyed, despite the media claiming he was the front-runner.

And how could they not play that thing over and over? It was hilarious! The sad part it, a good politician would have made that air time into a positive. Make a commercial of it, go on the news, do something. Gore would have picked on himself about it and made people appreciate his sense of humor. Clinton would have gone on Barbara Walters with Hillary and apologized for it. ANYONE else would have turned it into face time that would have shut out Kerry and Edwards and Clark from the airwaves. Dean just caves. Gore and Clinton overcame negative press ten times worse. Dean couldn't do anything but cave.

He lost. He just lost. The DLC did it? If it had been rigged, and it wasn't, it would have been by Rove, anyway.
