Dean Explains 'Explosive' Speech

Howard Dean's spent part of the morning today explaining what one network television interviewer called his "explosive" speech Monday night telling supporters he would not give up, with NBC's Katie Couric telling him that "some people watching feared you might implode."

"Do you think things got a little out of control and you got a little over the top?" she asked Dean on the Today Show. "Can you explain that?"

"Thirty-five hundred young people showed up in Iowa to help me win the caucuses," he said. "We didn't win, but I thought I owed them a little bit of fun. We're going to have some fun in this race."

"But some people watching feared you might implode," Couric said, adding that "in the New York Times this morning it says, 'At his post- caucus rally Monday night, Dr. Dean looked more like Howard Beale, the angry anchor in 'Network,' than Marcus Welby MD, while Mr. Kerry was every inch the veteran senator he is.'"

Hannah Storm, interviewing Dean on the CBS Early Morning Show, replayed the tape and then queried him about it.

"Well, you've got to have a little fun in this business," said Dean.

"Some people also said it was decidedly unpresidential," Storm said. "Why'd you take that tone after finishing third?"

"There were 3,500 young people that came to Iowa to work for me, and they worked hard. We didn't get as many votes as I would have liked to, but they worked hard. I thought they deserved everything I could give them. And that's what they're going to get for the next eight days in New Hampshire as well."

It wasn't what Dean said, which was normal, but the animated way that he said it that inspired the questions.

"You know something?," he began. "You know something?," he repeated, his volume rising. "Not only are we going to New Hampshire, Tom Harkin. We're going to South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico."

By now shouting hoarsely, he went on: "We're going to California and Texas and New York, and we're going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan. And then we're going to Washington, D.C. to take back the White House.

"Yaaaaaaaaaah!"
