Dean Delivers Top 10 List on Letterman

Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean turned to late-night comedy Thursday to poke fun at his arm-waving outburst in Iowa that has proven politically damaging. Dean taped an appearance on ``Late Night with David Letterman'' in which he presented the Top 10 list. The last Democrat to deliver the list was Rep. Dick Gephardt of Missouri on Jan. 12. After a poor showing in Iowa Monday, Gephardt abandoned his presidential bid.

The subject of Dean's list was Ways, I, Howard Dean, can turn things around.

4. Glad he's showing his wonderful sense of humor!

Now that Dean is lauging about it, I can too, and you know, it's funnier and funnier. I found myself cracking up when I talked about it with co-workers at lunch. They all seemed to think the media overdid it, and it wasn't really that bad.

I came up with a script for a possible Daily Show type treatment of the speech vs. the SOTU
