Howard Dean’s Koch Brothers ‘Freudian Slip’ (VIDEO)

Howard Dean’s Koch Brothers ‘Freudian Slip’ (VIDEO)

MINNEAPOLIS — Howard Dean gave a classic Netroots Nation keynote here last night, hitting all the buttons with the crowd of progressive activists and bloggers gathered here for their annual conference.

One of the most Netroots-friendly buttons he hit accidentally. Or so he told the crowd. While launching into an attack on the right and the conservative funders/progressive bogeymen known as the Koch Brothers, Dean first pronounced their name more like a famous part of ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner’s anatomy than the classic cola.

“Yes, that was a Freudian slip,” Dean said.

Needless to say, the crowd loved it.

Watch the moment, as well as all of Dean’s Thursday night speech:
