So the day after Dean comes in third in Iowa and concludes his evening with a red-faced, growling, bi-lingual geography lesson, he breaks into song at a campaign rally in New Hampshire:

Democratic presidential contender Howard Dean on Tuesday unleashed an unlikely weapon to disarm hecklers — the U.S. national anthem.

When a rally at the New Hampshire Technical Institute in Concord was interrupted for a second time, the former Vermont governor led his supporters in a rousing rendition of the Star Spangled Banner to drown them out.

I’m waiting for this guy to lose it in the middle of a debate. I’m imagining something like Dean twitching and mumbling, scratching himself while he swats at invisible bugs that are buzzing about his head. He’ll collapse on the floor, shaking and foaming at the mouth until he curls up in the fetal position. That’ll mark the end of Dean. It’ll be beautiful.
