   Howard Dean's "bizarre rant" after his defeat in Iowa is looking like the   
   fatal blow to his campaign, according the New York Post and others.   
      
   "I used to be on the Dean bandwagon, but now I feel as if he's imploding,"   
   said medical student Eliza Shulman.   
      
   "I was really scared when I saw him on TV. I can't believe I used to be for   
   that guy. It's embarrassing."   
      
   The Post quoted "stunned" strategists for Democrat rivals, including this   
   one: "I don't know how he'll ever be able to convince voters that he has the   
   gravitas, temperament and judgment to be president."   
      
      
   The two-day-old outburst continues to be the talk of the nation. Jay Leno   
   last night had his audience roaring with jabs at the former front-runner:   
   "Did you see that speech Howard Dean gave last night? I heard that the cows   
   in Iowa are now afraid of getting mad Dean disease."   
      
      
   On "The Daily Show," Jon Stewart showed comical footage of a previous rant   
   in which Dean practically choked on his own hatred as he vowed to send   
   President Bush "back to Crawford, Texas." Stewart likened him to Gollum, the   
   split-personality creature from "Lord of the Rings," and showed a graphic   
   with Dean's face superimposed on Gollum's body.   
      
   Republican strategist Kellyanne Conway told the Post, "This was the latest   
   episode in the new reality show: 'Howard Dean's Freak Show.'   
      
   "He comes across either as a child who's throwing a temper tantrum and   
   taking his ball and going home from the sandbox, or a grown man whose temper   
   is really disturbing."   
      
      
   --   
   Left-wing liberals are EVERYTHING they accuse the right of being.   
   They are mean, vicious, hateful, greedy, cold-hearted, closed-minded,   
   selfish, intolerant, bigoted and racist.
