[NewInNewJ.]

[karlrschneider]

1. Said Bush shouldn't play hide the salami (about Miers)

:D
:evilgrin:

[NewInNewJ.]

2. I love the man.

[ceile]

3. He didn't really say that, did he? n/t

[napi21]

5. Yep he did!

He did qualify it by saying "what ever they call it.

[ceile]

7. Oh, my! hahahaha

[rniel]

23. i'm not so sure that is a good thing

That's a slang term for F****ing. Everyone knows that right??

I guess that is what bush is doing to us, I'm just worried how that will be taken out of context. Plus the image of bush playing hide the salami with that ugly girl has got me shaken.

[Gormy Cuss]

26. Yes, but Dean can play Bushie and claim not to know that. n/t

[napi21]

4. Sometimes the ones who yell the loudest know the least!

His response when Tweety asked him why Kristol, Limpballs etc are yelling so loud against Miers nomination.

[Reciprocity]

13. And Tweety yells louder than all of them put together. n/t

[Beaverhausen]

6. more details please...for those of us still at work

thanks!

[napi21]

8. Break. Tweety to ask about the Plame invest. when he comes back.

I'll do my best to let you know the details.

[RSchewe]

9. Thanks for the heads up! Had no idea it was on. n/t

[rndmprsn]

10. DEAN is the MAN

speaking the plain truth...culture of corruption, RNC washing dirt corp money, frist dipping his hand in the cookie jar, OH repubs in disarray (taft @ 15%),....

speak on brother dean!

[seang70]

11. Dr. Dean said

"Hide the Salami" on Hardball. I worked for him and have had several chances to meet and talk to him. He is the real deal and he might not be presidential but he sure speaks for me..........Cheers from Atlanta.

[karlrschneider]

14. HEEHEE....yup. And welcome to DU!

:toast:

I like ATL too.
:-)

[Cha]

20. No, but the chimp is..

Dean is too good to be president under the current requirements.

[JuniperLea]

21. what exactly is 'presidential' these days

nothing i've seen from bush seems presidential at all.

on the other hand, i love dean! we need a no bovine excrement kind of president with enthusiasm! i still find it shocking that the right wing nuts managed to douse his campaign based on honest enthusiasm! jeez.

and welcome to DU! tell us more about dean!!

[napi21]

22. Don't blame the dousing of Dean ALL on the RW!

Believe me, the other Dem candidates helped with that a lot!

The establishment didn't want him!!!! And he was too honest to know how to fight them in a dirty enough way!

He's learning how to deal with national politics though.

[hogwyld]

12. Oh yeah!

i LOVE Howard Dean. Only man with the cajones to tell it straight. Please give more detail when available.

[napi21]

15. Dean on the Plame case. Does it endanger the VP?

Depends on evidence. Person indicted must step down immediately!

MO of Bush admin has to be attack personally!

Interested in the power of the Pub party.

??Price of ga. What can Dems say they would do? Subsidize for people who can't afford heating bills!

Should Dems drive SUV's? It's not up to me to tell people what to drive!

[NewInNewJ.]

16. Of course Tweety brought up the Dean Scream,

Howard held his own, threw it back at the press. He is so cool, wish we had more like him, even one.

[napi21]

18. I keep saying he should host a class for all Dem candidates!

Explain to them all, wether they are new or up for re-election, that HIS tactics are working! Theirs are NOT!

[WiseButAngrySara]

17. My cable was cut off! MSNBC was the ONLY channel affected, and it was

during Dean's controversial opinions about the war. As soon as he started responding negatively, I lost power! West Texas. Go figure!

[napi21]

19. Hmmm. West TX? I watched him on MSNBC with Charter cable.

I guess it might have just been your cable lost that satellite for a bit. Although, W. TX does give one pause!

[madfloridian]

24. Repeats at 7:00 I think. Transcript appears to be up already.

"MATTHEWS: Dr. Dean, you've been very cautious here, and I think a lot of Democrats have, you're not alone. Why are the right-wing people, the people on the radio all day, Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, people like Bill Kristol, who was mentally important in knocking Hillary Clinton's health care plan, he has a big power in this country. Why are they out there with the blunderbuss, going at this nomination, and you're so cool about it?

DEAN: Well, I don't know. They can say whatever they want, that's what they do. Sometimes the people who talk the most know the least.

ON IRAQ

MATTHEWS: Let me ask you about Iraq. One in six Democrats now tell pollsters that the war in Iraq was worth it. Are you one of those one in six, or one of the five in six — I should say, well, only one in six say it's worth it. Are you one of the one in six or one of the five in six who don't think it was worth it?

DEAN: Well, I think, Chris, one thing I am is consistent. I thought this was a bad idea in the first place because I believed we would get just in the kind of mess we have. It looks like, Chris, now the Iraqi government that George Bush is supporting to hard is trying to rig the vote on the constitution. Women appear to be worse off under this constitution than they were under Saddam Hussein. I think this president's made a terrible mistake. Now we're stuck, we're in there. It's not responsible to take our troops out tomorrow, but we need to get our troops out of there and we need to do it in a reasonable way and not lose any more lives.

MATTHEWS: Most Democrats, in fact all but a quarter, think that your party, you, don't have a policy, an alternative, to President Bush on Iraq. What is your clear-cut alternative to what he's doing now in Iraq?

DEAN: Well, our clear-cut alternative, of course, wouldn't have been to get in there in the first place. But I think our clear-cut alternative is we know we have to come home. The American people are sick of this, they think this was a mistake. The question is, what's the timetable to come home? There's a lot of reasonable alternatives. I personally don't think it's reasonable to pull out all the troops tomorrow. But I clearly think sooner is better than later.

MATTHEWS: If we haven't begun that withdrawal by next November, the election of congressmen and senators across the country, will this be a campaign issue?

ON THE REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP

DEAN: It will be, but I think the culture of corruption that Tom DeLay and Karl Rove and Scooter Libby and Bill Frist and the Ohio people are bringing to the Republican Party is a much bigger campaign issue."

[Cha]

25. Ain't that the truth...

.."Well, I don't know. They can say whatever they want, that's what they do. Sometimes the people who talk the most know the least."

[HughMoran]

27. ROTFL!!

:rofl:

I was just reading the transcript and came upon this quote... and wanted to post, but here you beat me to it!
