All day Wednesday I kept hearing about the "scream" that Dean made in Iowa. People kept talking about how it revealed and unattractive "rage". Stories like this one were (and still are) all over the place.

Then I got to see what they were all talking about, and all I can say is, "That's it?" The rousing "Yeeeeaaaaaaaah!!" at the end of an impassioned speech to supported was the "primal scream" that has everyone in a tizzy? Have you people never gone to a pep rally? Have you never been fired up and/or needed to fire up your people?

I find it amusing that Al Gore was mocked for being to "robotic" and boring. How is it that now we are castigating candidate for having and showing passion? As for him being "full of rage", and having an "outburst"...look around. Look at what is happening in the world. If you are *not* mad as hell, you probably aren't paying attention (or you're a Halliburton stockholder).

I haven't yet decided who I will support in the primary. The only candidate that is a definite no at this time is Joe Lieberman, who in some ways would actually be worse than Bush. (He's just as conservative, but the liberals wouldn't want to oppose him because he's "our guy".) Still, I'm giving a great big eyeroll to anyone who actually thinks that the Iowa speech was in anyway a big deal. Grow up and get a life, people.
