Did anyone else see Blitzer defend Howard Dean comments about CNN

playing the "yeaaaaagh" speech 600 and something times! I wish I'd been at my keyboard because I'm in a state of shock!

They were promoing Wolf's interview with Dean. And the snarky CNN reporter said: "Wow, we were talking here in the studio and we thought Dean's answer to you was angry, did YOU feel he was angry?"

Wolf then went on at length saying "No, I didn't feel his answer was angry at all, Dean is very blunt spoken and we even joked about all the coverage the speech got later." He then said Dean has mentioned before that the speech got a lot of coverage and he has a right to his opinion." He said more about Dean not being angry, but I can't remember the sentences.....

I had to paraphrase, but it was Wonderful! Really!

that same attitude toward his "Rebel Yell". (I'm calling it that, because I think that is what it was- and in the south that is GOOD!)

I call it that too. And I am a fan.

There you have it folks, Dean was so angry he scared Blitzer into saying he wasn't angry.

Wolfie came off better by giving Dean his props. Maybe he felt chastised by Howard's comments.

Does this mark the end of the *Dean scream* replays? Stay tuned...

This was Carol Lin.
