Let's face it, folks. As much as some of us want Howard Dean for HHS...

[regnaD kciN]

...as long as Rahm Emmanuel is serving as Obama's gatekeeper, the only way Dr. Dean will see the inside of the White House is to buy a ticket for the guided tour. :-(

1. I bet Howard Dean pays his taxes.

I bet, I bet, I bet.

I bet I didn't come up with that first, either, that I saw it at Emptywheel over on Firedoglake. Doesn't matter. I bet it's true.

2. I refer to him as President Emanuel . . . and I hope Barach and Michelle impeach him soon

4. You don't give "Barach" a lot of credit do you? Bet Michelle isn't confused about who is President .

Good grief. At least spell his name right.

10. I give Obama credit for being totally honest, Michelle, too.

But honest people don't always grasp that all people aren't. When they become more cynical, they won't be as polite, courteous and likable, but it will happen.

Too many boo-boos in this selection process going on. I think most of the people who post here could do a better job vetting than the staff.

11. A couple of weeks ago

when Rahm Rham started to get on my nerves, I looked him up in DogPile and in the subject lines listed under his name, I got 2 different spellings for his first name, and I think there were 3 or 4 for his last name.

Why don't you get after the search engines to correct their spellings. I don't get paid for looking up stuff. And if you were to look at every post mentioning the faux president, you would find that in most cases, his name is misspelled. Unless one happens to know him personally I don't see why one would be so agitated about spelling his name correctly.

Why not defend his advice to Obama so far on the vetting process?

Obama's decisions about the torture camps, diplomacy, stimulus package, etc., are the ones he made before he took office..he's just keeping his word.

6. Wow.

There are so many things wrong with that post I don't even know where to start.

[fadedrose]

12. It was a problem for me too...where to start....nt

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

13. I just hope Sascha and Malia adjourn Rehnquist from the congress.

That's all I'm saying.

[fadedrose]

14. I thought he died

[KittyWampus]

8. so you got Rahm's first and last name wrong and the President's name too?

[fadedrose]

9. It looks that way

Post the proper corrections as you see fit..

[Cleita]

3. Maybe someone needs to dig into Rahm's tax returns. HMMM! n/t

[Ninga]

5. Unfortunatly, you nailed the situation quite accurately. Howard Dean took no quarter

from Rahm, and thus will get no plum assignments from the new administration.

At least not as of this evening.

:shrug:

7. Maybe Dean will run for President in 2012? Is that possible? n/t
