p> ENJOY THE DEM SHOW br> Re: Steve Hornbeck's Howard Dean Usurped : /p>

After drying my eyes from laughing my way through this hilarious send-up of Dems in disarray, a sobering thought hit me -- this entire article could be true.

If ever an argument were to be made for mandatory psychiatric examinations of all presidential hopefuls, Al Gore and Howard Dean qualify.

Does anyone remember Al Gore's final concession speech at some sort of gala he and Tipper hosted? Al was in shirt sleeves outdoors in December 2000 (everyone else was suitably bundled up against the weather). But there was Al, sweatin' like a cotton chopper in July. He had perspiration underarm "puddles" the size of picnic plates. That is not normal. Well, who knows what is normal for Al? But if space allowed, I could name a few mood altering drugs that cause excessive perspiration -- but this guy gives new meaning to the term, "hyperhydration"! And if the "drenched in dew" was not a clue, certainly his behavior from that day forward -- including his Saturday Night Live hot tub gig -- is that of a seriously unbalanced man. No one has said, but how is his venture into cable TV going?

As for Howard Dean, the banty rooster who would be King -- maybe that "Eeeearghhh" was some kind of premature crowing.
