"Gina has veto power"
Ever since September, HD supporters tortured us with Nagoutne's gotcha: "Mary, help". Karma eventually worked, so:

When members of his traveling press corps asked him to comment on the matter as he boarded his plane Wednesday morning, Dean initially said, "I'll be happy to do it."
A moment later, he caught himself.
"Gina has veto power," Dean said, referring to Glantz. "I'm not allowed to say I'm happy to do anything anymore."

At least, Mary did help (by relaying him his record on the issue) and Clark did answer. I guess that made him the indecisive guy, huh?

1. That's good, Dr. Dean.
Continually pouting and then apologizing begrudgingly several days letter is so unseemly.

Listen to Gina. Excellent. :crazy: :wtf:

2. But "Mary help!" sounds like the cry of a toddler; whereas,
Dean's "Gina has veto power!" is more like that of a leader who believes in empowering others via sharing his power.

3. But the general answered his question like a grown up
whereas HD hid under the skirts of Gina ("I would, but she doesn't let me).
real men ask for help when they neeed it. Big babies blame it on Gina.

4. Let's stipulate that BOTH
situations were unimportant and unworthy of 1/10th the media attentiont they've been given.
