After reading a few references to a "remix" of Dean's Iowa speech, I went in search of an actual website. Finally found one!

Remix of Dean's Iowa Concession Speech

God, that sucks. Whoever did it has no rhythm or sense of timing. How old was the person who did it, four?

You know, the first few times I heard that clip, I thought it was hysterical -- but the more I heard it, now, the more I feel sorry for Dean. The poor guy's voice is shot, he's trying to energize the troops and yell over a cheering crowd behind him, and a touch of laryngitis gets caught by national TV.

Wow, a president who speaks Arabic would be awesome. A voiced velar fricative takes a lot of practice to execute at full volume like that.

Don't know, who did it, but I expect it might be playing on our car radios during rush hour any minute now.

Personally, I don't think this is an unrecoverable moment for Dean by any means, but I think the best way for him to deal with it is to find a way to make fun of himself - not something he, or any of the other candidates - seem inclined to do. But leading the laughter is different than getting laughed at.

I read somewhere that he was cracking jokes about it this morning.

Another motivation for posting: I was feeling a little sorry for the "where are all the conservatives at?" folks and wanted to give them something to brighten their day. [Wink]

Mostly, though, it's kinda funny.

I will be staying up Saturday night for a change late enough to watch Saturday Night Live - I expect that between Iowa and the State of the Union there might be some fun viewing!

Now I got that song stuck in my head. My baby thinks it's hilarious.

It also reminds me of Mike Myers' "jailbird" sound he makes at the last poetry reading in "So I Married an Axe Murderer."
