I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
That's my favorite one yet. Well done.
Brilliant. Perfect.
Let's keep circulating and playing these things until they make the media whores the joke they've tried to make out of Dean.
Even my very middle of the road mother said after hearing all the hype about the speech and finally watching it that she saw nothing unseemly or unbalanced about it. And she's firmly in the "undecided but ABB" camp.
I laughed.
This is the best mix. It's actually inspirational in a WWF kinda way.
It's appropriate to call Dean's mental fitness into question.
An unbalanced President might dare the enemy to attack U.S. troops.
A megalomaniacal President might lie to the American people, inventing flimsy pretexts for the war he desires.
Frightening hypotheticals!
Hey, I want someone to get one of those Mean Dean dolls, and have it beat the crap out of one of those Clueless W. Flightsuit dolls, and use a medley of the yawp mixes as a sound track. CAGE MATCH!!!
G.I. Dean?? Well, it's as good an idea as the 'Bush in Fighter Pilot Suit' action figure.
Maybe the Democrats are onto a moneyspinner with that one...
PS What's the content of the LA Times article? It appears to be one of these online newspapers requiring registration...
Okay, I was kind of getting tired of all the lame cheap-o mixes, but this one is actually pretty funny. It's a keeper!

First one I heard and still one of my favorites.
Mudvayne's Dig...
that was sooo 3 summers ago!
anyways...pretty damn appropriate!
"Think one setback in Iowa makes us DONE...
Well guess what, BITCHES?"
That is CLASSIC!
TheaLogie, the LA Times article describes the Mean Dean doll, a 12-inch action figure that is being made to cash in on the yawp flap. It will have a voice chip and can play either the screech speech, or Dean's quote about the rebel flag. Hence, the suggestion for a doll wrestling match.
Yeahhhhh! That's a good'un. And nice editing, too. I like the quick cut to Dean standing in the field -- then back to the rockin'.
And totally agree with the oversaturation thing. If this becomes the latest internet sport, then this whole thing would become more an embarassment to the crazy, angry media than to him.
Same company makes W-goes-to-Bahgdad doll and Ahnuld-takes-over-guvnership doll.
Right Wing, baby! Gotta love these jerkasses! Or not.
jsaro,
Thanks.
Anyone else using the yeeeaaaaarghh as a system sound? I just love it.
Slightly OT, but too good not to share, as it spotlights the differences between the Kerry and Dean candidates:

Dean got a bit of a tan there in Iowa, didn't he?
I seriously think that Aziz's campaign ad should be played on MTV and Spike. It'd go a long way in convincing the younger crowd that Dean appeals to anyway that he isn't some neutered, run of the mill politician.
I, too, am an ABB person, but its my belief that anything that makes college-age people think that politics matters is a good thing.
where do you get one of those?
Awesome indeed -- the next level of Dean-as-angry satire. If you haven't checked out the Lieberman and Moseley-Braun ads yet, you should do so.
I LOVE THAT AD. PLAY IT ON VOLUME 11 FOR BEST EFFECT.
whut?
My God, that Dean is terrifying!
In many ways I thought I was watching a man go crazy before my very eyes. In all the years of following politics and watching politicians, never before have I seen such a total public meltdown as Howard Dean displayed in the aftermath of Iowa. Now I hate to say I told you so, but some time back this column predicted that Dean would publicly implode. That it happened in such a demented and frightening way, however, is almost sad.
There was Howard, standing before the crowds after his humiliating third place finish. On his face was plastered a grimace, the sort of forced smile more commonly worn by some yokel who's had one too many shots of Jack Daniels and is spoiling for a bar fight. Howard was sweating. He was shaking. And then the screaming began.
"I'll see you around the corner, around the block," said Howard, the schoolyard threat aimed at John Kerry and John Edwards, the two men who had just taken the Iowa victory that he apparently viewed as his manifest destiny.

That was so scary and obviously serious and authoritative, I'm thinking about voting Republican.
You should too. For the children.
Action figures are for testosterone-challenged beta-male Pubbies who are afraid if the figures are called "dolls", they'll be called queers.
OTOH, nothing says "Democrat" like bobble heads.
My five year old daughter's review of this one:
"That guy's really crazy about the states!"
This is getting tiresome. It's been bad enough to have to avoid Kos and its constant Dean-pushing, now you too Atrios?
Yeah I get it, media bad, hilarious musical parodies, but jayzuz, every couple of posts?
Wetzel, BWAH! I love your kid.
This ad and others like it are reminding me why I loved this guy in the first place. I will give Dean $100 if during the first presidential debate he just hauls off and challenges Bush to a fight.
Presidential blah blah blah ... presidential would have been not lying to us about WMDs and getting our sons and daughters killed. That ship's sailed, so now anything goes.
A.
I think it's BS and I have had about enough of dissing Dean.
I used to think Atrios was cool but now I think I'll go elsewhere.
Wetzel: That was fantastic! Put your kid in a Dean campaign ad!
DJMM: The video was really good. I think the point it missed is that fear of losing to Bush is winning out over idealism among Dems. Where is that fear coming from? Listen to the Wurlitzer. IMHO, Dean, Kerry, Clark, and Edwards can all beat Bush. He is weak, and falling. Isn't it a shame that Dems fear the GOP-Karl Rove hate machine more than the GOP candidate himself? George W Bush is the worst president of the century, and he will be defeated in November, so who do we want running the country after that?
I seriously think that Aziz's campaign ad should be played on MTV and Spike. It'd go a long way in convincing the younger crowd that Dean appeals to anyway that he isn't some neutered, run of the mill politician.
I agree, and during WWF broadcasts, even during SportsCenter. Of course, the campaign can't actually run the ad, but perhaps it will make the email rounds -- I've already sent it to eight or ten people (all under the age of 40, of course).
It really is very well crafted.
More and more I truly feel I am again living in an age of media controlled by the good Dr. Joseph Goebbels.
Now I think it's worth voting Dean in just to completely piss off all the freepers and those of the VRWC.
The way it looks now we could throw up a tattered sock monkey and a old banana peal and they could beat Bush.
yeeeaaahhhhhhhh....!
say what you will about dean, he has affected the popular culture in a way that none of the other dems could dream of. and whether in the form of mockery or not, that kind of attention can get you very far.
I don't know if it's bashing or what. What is the point of this post, Atrios?
Who gives a shit?
I prefer the Atrios who RIPS on the media, not the one who's now copying them. Preznit turkee will never be that good.
Please, for the sake of your readers, moveon.org. You are above this.
PS What's the content of the LA Times article? It appears to be one of these online newspapers requiring registration...
Use gorevidal:gorevidal as user:password combination.
not a dean supporter: I wasn't aware that Atrios was particularly pro-Dean. This post wasn't politics, just entertainment, the idea that someone could produce a Mean Dean figure...
'Don't let the door hit ya' to those who don't like what they see.
What's Kerry's slogan again?
"Turn me on dead man"?
Good luck with that.
I laughed, I cried. It was better than Cats.
At least Dean knows the names of the states. Challenge Bush to do the same! Texas....ah...duh..."listens for the helpful voice of Rove in his ear"
Holy Time cover artistry, Blackman-why is Dean so...dark? Not that that's wrong, but...damn, lot more sun in Vermont than in Texas, we guess...
