I cannot imagine why anyone would think Dean's speech was shameful or embarrassing. Politicians are supposed to have personality.

Patrick quoted Tom Tomorrow:

If I were in the Dean camp right now, I'd be trying to pull a little jiu-jitsu--turn that "yeaarrggh" thing around, make it a joke, embrace it. Open campaign rallies with that remix that's floating around the 'net. Hand out t-shirts to volunteers which just say "YEEAAARRRGGH" across the front. Maybe have Dean open speeches with some mildly self-deprecating joke: "I've taken a lot of kidding for my speech in Iowa--but if you think I was hollering then, wait till you get the bill for Bush's spending spree!"

You can't make it go away, but you can turn it around.
