Today sucks
Rebel Dean inspires gays in Florida: South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Five decades ago, a "Rebel Dean" was a cool, good-looking young guy with a leather jacket and a motorcycle. Today, a "Rebel Dean" is an ex-doctor from Vermont with no neck and a history of inappropriate screaming.

"a history of inappropriate screaming"
Mac, whatever your beefs with Dean might be vis-a-vis policy, qualifications, or even upper body structure, I can't believe you'd really buy that whole 'screaming' bit which was propagated, packaged, and sold by the right-wing press. It was the GOP's most crafty misrepresentation of a public event since Paul Wellstone's funeral. They didn't like him because he has balls. Democrats were scared of him because he has a spine (though some say it's lacking in the cervical region), and the mainstream press feared him because his message was blunt and any reasonably fair coverage of him would only bring on more allegations of liberal bias, which already have them in a fetal position under their desks.
He was the victim of a perfect storm of diverse forces; In that climate, an ill-timed sneeze would have sunk him.

I'm just being silly. As was Dean, that night.

Whew. I thought there might be a little silly in there but I wasn't sure (something about Sundays, maybe).
