Howard Dean: Don't hide the salami
Howard Dean was on Hardball with Chris Matthews a few days ago.
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.
Hmm, I don't believe that's what it's called.

He's a maniac.
I heard he was on Letterman last night, and Dave asked him about it. Dean apparently then dug himself even deeper by trying a lame joke about kielbasa, or however you spell Polish sausage. Then there was an ad, and when they came back, Dean was gone.
I didn't see it, but that's what someone told me.
