On January 19, 2004, Dean’s rivals John Kerry and John Edwards pushed him into a third-place finish in the 2004 Iowa Democratic caucuses, representing the first votes cast in primary season. Dean’s loud outburst in his public address that night was widely rebroadcast and portrayed as a media gaffe that ended his campaign.
Today a candidate can advocate for turning homeless people into paste and that doesn’t sink them but back in 2004 this gaffe did him in. It’s great how tolerant we’ve become as a society!
One of the three memes we got in 2004
Back in my day we got 3 memes a year and we liked it that way. Kids would whine about it and our stern mothers would say “Bradley, do you think memes grow on trees?”
In 2004, the greatest crime of all was seeming too excited about anything.
You may LOL but thoughtful “progressives” in 2004 did not think this was funny and said it was a media hitjob.
Fortunately they were wrong, this is still incredibly funny and I thank CNN for doing whatever audio tricks to make it more entertaining.
Whatever happened to “when they go low, we go high”?I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
