'Time delay inside John McCain's brain,' Dean mocks David Edwards and Muriel Kane

Published: Thursday August 28, 2008





Print This Email This When Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean appeared from Denver on Wednesday's Daily Show to announce that the Democratic convention "is going great," he seemed to be caught off guard by some of Jon Stewart's questions -- but he also got in a few jabs against John McCain.



"How do they keep hitting you guys on the experience thing?" Stewart asked. "Were they not awake over the past eight years? ... I don't quite understand why nobody's bringing up video clips of what they've said over the past eight years."



As the audience erupted in cheers and applause, Dean replied, "There'll be a lot of time for that."



"When?" asked Stewart in apparent frustration. "December? What are you waiting for?"



Dean, apparently missing the point of Stewart's question, replied, "What am I waiting for what?"



However, he quickly redeemed himself with the audience by adding, in eerie Twilight Zone tones, "Do you think there's a time delay in the circuit, Jon? This is like 'Inside John McCain's Brain.'"
