Now that we’re FINALLY as-good-as-guaranteed a Democrat in the White House, I think it’s time to revisit the Dean Scream, the ungodly howl that knocked Howard Dean out of the presidential race in 2004. Now, at the time, I didn’t find the endless repetitions of the scream clip amusing … Dean’s candidacy was as exciting then as Obama’s is now and it was pretty disheartening to see the only candidate I could really get behind being turned into a national laughingstock. Now that we’re through the woods, though, I think it’s time I finally admitted to myself that actually, that noise is pretty freaking hilarious. See below.
