COMICAL BUMBLER MISSPEAKS AGAIN
Noted dumb talker Howard Dean delights his fans with another quirky Deanism:
MATTHEWS: Do you believe that the president can claim executive privilege?
DEAN: Well, certainly the president can claim executive privilege. But in the this case, I think with a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court, you can’t play, you know, hide the salami, or whatever it’s called. He’s got to go out there and say something about this woman who’s going to a 20 or 30-year appointment, a 20 or 30-year appointment to influence America. We deserve to know something about her.
Forget Harriet Miers. Perhaps we need to know a little more about Howard Dean.
(Via AreYouConservative)
Surely he was thinking of Bill Clinton when he uttered “hide the salami”.

CERTIORARI TO THE COURT OF APPEALS OF TEXAS, FOURTEENTH DISTRICT
No. 02–102. Argued March 26, 2003—Decided June 26, 2003
Responding to a reported weapons disturbance in a private residence, Houston police entered petitioner Lawrence’s apartment and saw him and another adult man, petitioner Garner, engaging in a private, consensual sexual act. Petitioners were arrested and convicted of de-viate sexual intercourse in violation of a Texas statute forbidding two persons of the same sex to engage in certain intimate sexual conduct. In affirming, the State Court of Appeals held, inter alia, that the statute forbad hiding the salami in the state of Texas.This is almost as funny as when Dean declared he is a metrosexual and then admitted he didn’t know what the term means. Dean tries so hard to be hip.

Oh, blerp, it’s worse than that: the guy was a pediatrician. Can you imagine the looks on some Vermont parents’ faces after they consulted with Dr. Dean? I wonder if any of them ever brought their kids twice.

Posted by swassociates on 2005 10 06 at 09:00 AM • permalinkThat’s not even the best quote from the transcript:
“I thought long and hard before I opposed Judge Roberts, and I opposed him because I thought he would protect the most vulnerable Americans.”
In Dean’s defense, given the following sentence (“Now we’ll get a change to see”), I think the transcriber was just drunk.
Posted by Ken Summers on 2005 10 06 at 09:16 AM • permalinkpaco, Dean’s brain and larynx haven’t been on a first name basis for years.
And I’d much rather play hide the salami with the Secretary of State. Especially if she wore those black boots and leather duster.
Posted by Some0Seppo on 2005 10 06 at 09:52 AM • permalinkWell count me as someone who is very happy that someone like Howard Dean exists. Just to think that he was the forerunner among Democratic candidates for the 2004 US presidential election. And who were his competitors? John Kerry, Al Sharpton, Carol Moseley Braun. Hells bells, with that kind of competition, even Karl Rove could have been elected, not his puppet President Bushitlerkatrinahalliburton.
(note to Andrea: I seem to be having a problem using the bold tag option. Every time I trying embolding a word or phrase, usually an especially clever one, I get a message “You have used up your allotment for this month”. WTF? Allotment? Since when have commenters been placed on an allotment? I thought we all draw from a pool of bold tags available to everyone here. And how could I have used up my allotment? I mean, today is only the 6th! There’s another 25 days left. I have to have more bold tags! Andrea, where are my BOLD TAGS?)
Posted by wronwright on 2005 10 06 at 11:23 AM • permalinkAll your bold tags are belong to us.
BWAHAHAHA!
Posted by Ken Summers on 2005 10 06 at 11:28 AM • permalinkHide the salami, sink the slipper, pluck the magic twanger… it’s all good, baby…
wronwright—speaking of allotments, Our Dark Master Karl wants to know when you’re going to finish the weeding…

I’ll trade you some bold tags for some italics tags.

If by “salami” you mean “mushroom”, Herr Doktor, I can imagine you play that game quite well. (Hastily adds) Of course, I have not confirmed and have no way of confirming this speculation.
It is strange that Dean’s thoughts turn to “hide the salami” when talking about Harriet Miers. Different strokes, I suppose.
Posted by Bruce Rheinstein on 2005 10 06 at 05:29 PM • permalinkRebeccaH—the Dems eat this stuff up. The funny part is, they think the rest of us are cheering, not laughing…
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 10 06 at 09:04 PM • permalinkWhat the hell?
You’re Howard Dean, you’re looking at Chris Matthews and-
“hide the salami” pops out.
Wow.
wronwright- I saw you slumming in the sewer threads at Polipundit. Get a grip man! I post there as _______(Old Fart).
Hey need a Weed Whacker?
Posted by madawaskan on 2005 10 06 at 10:48 PM • permalinkWhat would you like to know about my Howie? I spent a decade under his governance, met him several times, and once had the pleasure of rocking him back on his heels with a pointed question about his utility mismanagement.
Howie is a like a string-theorist. You know these brilliant mathematicians who start to lose touch with reality and see life in 22-dimensional parallel universes? He indulges in a similar form of elevated thinking. Howie’s world is a fantastic construction of Liberal and Conservative frameworks. Double the cost of fishing licenses so the resulting revenue will decrease. Force power companies to sell off existing low-cost contracts as wholesale prices climb. Stop building and maintain roads, because that would breed more cars. Build a commuter rail line, even if nobody will ride. It all makes sense inside the bubble.
Just watch for that angry red face when reality intrudes.
“Isn’t it possible that the dude’s a diagnosed psychotic…”
No.

If Howard Dean didn’t exist Karl Rove would have had to invent him.
