IN WASHINGTON
Dean To Be DNC Chairman
The final day of the DNC Winter Meeting takes place Saturday, first with remarks by outgoing chairman Terry McAuliffe, followed by the vote for the new chairman, expected to be former Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean. Afterwards, McAuliffe formally transfers the chairman's gavel to Dean.

"It's all over, he's the DNC head, yay!:)"

Life is good.

(I told her the Democrats would take away her dog food and give it to homeless dogs.) :-)

[Musket]

Yeah, it's an instant classic. I have deep respect for whoever created it.

[don-o]

Why would they be praising that loser McAullife??

Anyone got a clue for me on that?

Thats great.

Did he just say iders(southern talk for ideas) like he's from the south. Give me a break.

[noexcuses]

I notice they are only praising McAuliffe's building a new infrastructure, and fundraising.

[Claytay]

But trust us to steal your money and give it to someone else

[don-o]

Appalachian for idea is Idee - accent on the first syllable.

As in: "At's a good idee."

[noexcuses]

Oops..does the halfhearted applause signal buyer's remorse already setting in?

[Claytay]

With a Republican Congress!!!!

[noexcuses]

Ok that's better... he mentioned taxes and they all stood up.

You should praise the greatest chairman in the history of the universe for the greatest party in the history of the universe that produced the greatest congressman in the history of the universe (or to walk the halls - your choice) that spoke to the greatest gathering in the history of the universe that nominated the greatest former governor for chair in the history of the universe that supported the biggest losers in the history of the universe (Kerry/Edwards)!

See, it's simple! (sarcasm)

I want to start an official pool on this thread..how many days before Dean puts BOTH feet in his mouth?..I give him a week..

[dfergu7477]

What a big stinking pile of wishful thinking...

[Riley]

Ok that's better... he mentioned taxes and they all stood up.

With their hands over their hearts, like the rest of us do when the flag goes by?

[don-o]

Is he adopting the verbal style of AlGore?

Though not close in smarminess, (yet)

[Claytay]

Personally, I say by the end of this weekend.

[don-o]

Thank God you are here for the greatest commentary this proud Freeper has ever seen.

[Claytay]

But when the rest of the world needs major surgery where do they go?
Oh I dean forgot that part.

[MKM1960]

I think he did it right now Federal healthcare for everyone.
