Straight Talk for the rest of us.
I have always loved Howard Dean. He revolutionized the way Democrats run campaigns with his fancy internet fund raising and 50 state strategery. In many ways he was like the metal skeleton beta-version of the unstoppable liquid metal Obama. Also, he totally would have won in 2004 if John Edwards had announced that he was going to have an affair two years later.
But mostly I love Howard Dean because he has absolutely no problem sounding like a prick. Here we see him “slipping up” (nudge nudge wink wink) and saying something completely obvious absolutely inappropriate and unacceptable last Friday on NPR.
“If you look at folks of color, even women, they’re more successful in the Democratic Party than they are in the white, uh, excuse me, in the Republican Party,”
He then refered to the presumptive GOP nominee as “John *cough* asshole *cough* McCain” before grabbing one of the studio mics and screaming “YAAAARWRRRRRR!!!!”
The man still has it.

Howard Dean screams for me!!
Something very funny about the idea of Howard Dean screaming his lungs out on NPR. Maybe he could try being a golf announcer next.
