Howard Dean on Richard Sherman's Scream: "I Did Better Ten Years Ago in Iowa"

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman late night scream, following his team's victory in the NFC Championship Game, was met with a yawn from a former presidential candidate with experience screaming on television.

2004 Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean wasn't impressed when shown Sherman's scream on video.

"I could do better," Dean said nonchalantly. "In fact, I did do better ten years ago in Iowa."

Dean, of course, was referring to his famous "I Have a Scream" speech, following a 3rd place finish in the Iowa Democratic Party caucuses.

"Sherman's scream was good. There can be no denying that," Dean said. "He just needs a little more work to reach my level."

Compare the two screams, side-by-side, and decide who is better at screaming:

In a move that surprised everyone, DuBose Porter announced that the Democratic Party of Georgia's annual fundraiser would be re-named to honor one of the organization's greatest leaders.

"It gives me great pleasure to inform the media that all future editions of the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner will now be called the Jefferson/Jesse Jackson Dinner," Porter said at a recent press conference. "Democrats want to recognize Jesse Jackson for his decades of service, leading black Americans.

"Contrary to what others may say, Jesse Jackson is indeed the Emperor of Black People," Porter continued, referencing a controversial episode of the Comedy Central cartoon "South Park."
