Late-night jokes

Howard Dean's speech Monday provided plenty of fodder for the late-night TV comics Tuesday:

TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO:

"Did you see Dean's speech last night? Oh my god! Now I hear the cows in Iowa are afraid of getting Mad Dean Disease. . . . I'm no political pundit, but I think it's a bad sign when your speech ends with your aide shooting you with a tranquilizer gun."

LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN:

"Did you see Howard Dean ranting and raving? Here's a little tip Howard: Cut back on the Red Bull. . . . Here's what happened: The people in Iowa realized they didn't want a president with the personality of a hockey dad."

THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART:

"The whole Dean anger thing is a bum rap. This guy has his emotions under control," Jon Stewart said as a clip of Dean shouting state names rolled. At the end of the list, Stewart added, "Dean will be driving to all those states - apparently in Truckasaurus, and he will do it on SUNDAY, SUNDAY SUNDAY!"
