The Scream Heard Around The World

The Monocle would like to draw your attention to the following clip. We assume this isn't the first time you've seen it: in the days following the incident, it was shown 633 times by cable and broadcast news networks. But what, you may well ask, does it have to do with this election? WELL. Howard Dean gave this speech just moments after having lost the Iowa Democratic Caucus. He was surprised. He was worried. He...he screamed "Byaaahh!" on live television. And that was the end of that. In American campaign politics, you can throw away your career in one silly, sweaty moment. The Monocle hopes to see many, many more moments like this in the coming year.
