When "I Hate Myself For Lovin' You" Joan Jett was on George BigLongGreekName's show, The Hour, I didn't think that was going to be the topic, but it was. Apparently Joan was a big Howard Dean supporter and was there the night of the "scream". At the time that Dean was hooting and hollering, it was right for that moment. She thought nothing of it. It was entirely appropriate until CNN and FOX said it wasn't. In context Dean did nothing out of the ordinary. But played out of context, perception = reality.

Some are comparing this second "crying" to Dean's "screaming". And from all the people condemning Hillary without even seeing the video and putting context to it, it could well be.
