DNC Chairman Howard Dean Says Be Prepared For Unprecedented Filibuster Of Next Supreme Court Nominee:
"In An Interview, [DNC Chairman Howard] Dean Said Democratic Unity Is Essential In The Upcoming Battle And That The Party 'Absolutely' Should Be Prepared To Filibuster -- Holding Unlimited Debate And Preventing An Up-Or-Down Vote -- Bush's Next High Court Nominee, If He Taps Someone They Find Unacceptably Ideological." (Dan Balz and Amy Goldstein, "Filibuster Showdown Looms In Senate," The Washington Post, 9/28/05)
Earlier In Year, Dean Said He Would Defer To Congressional Leaders On Policy Discussions:
DNC Chairman Howard Dean: "I Think Most Of The Policy Pronouncements Are Going To Be Coming From The Leadership Of The Congress, Not From Me." (ABC's "World News Tonight Saturday," 2/12/05)
"To Gain The Support Of A Democratic Establishment He Had Once Campaigned Against, Dean Pledged To Leave Legislative Discussion To Others, Including Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) And House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Both Of Whom Had Reservations About His Candidacy." (Jeff Zeleny, "Dean Takes Over Helm Of The DNC," Chicago Tribune, 2/13/05)
"Dr. Dean Delivered A Sober And Low-Key Talk To The DNC's Members On The Imperative Of More Effective Grass-Roots Organizing And Fund Raising. ... He Made Relatively Little Mention Of Policy Positions On Which He Intended To Lead The Democrats Back From Their 2004 Defeat." (Jules Witcover, Op-Ed, "Democrats' Strongest Voice Stifles Himself," The [Baltimore] Sun, 2/18/05)
Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE): "Well, In My Experience, Being In The Senate For Six Terms And Serving With Seven Presidents, No Party Chairman's Ever Made A Bit Of Difference In Terms Of The Public Perception Or Policy In Either Political Party. And That Will Be The Same Here [Dean's DNC Chairmanship]." (Fox News' "Fox News Sunday," 2/13/05)
LOL
He is not spending as much time with her as he had in the past. She was a steadying influence on him.
He's losing it!
Jackson Brown. My favorite album is the live one, with "Runnin' on Empty". Although JB is a Clinton-loving socialist, I still like his music...
Which will trigger the nuclear option. And that will be that.

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years... And the slow parade of fears without crying... Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could... To see the evil and the good without hiding... You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes... Tell me what is wrong... Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
’cause I have wandered through this world... And as each moment has unfurled... I’ve been waiting to awaken from these dreams... People go just where there will... I never noticed them until I got this feeling... That it’s later than it seems
Doctor, my eyes... Tell me what you see... I hear their cries... Just say if it’s too late for me
Doctor, my eyes... Cannot see the sky... Is this the prize for having learned how not to cry

Careful! Someone might think you're suggestomg a
"dirt nap" for Eric Von Zipper...;o)
I hope it's Janice Rogers Brown. I'd love to see Jesse and Rev Al out there protesting against her.
And remember, NickatNite:
"When Eric Von Zipper don't like somebody... They stay don't liked!"
Jack.
"Doctor my eyes..."
This reminds of something..
Hey doctor wang can I take the viagra just until I need glasses?
He is his ideal, but Pelosi is his idol.
Nah.............. just a few quaaludes (do they still make them?) for the doctor.
I *think* Rohrer stopped making them back in the 70's..
But i'm not sure..perhaps some other drug company
is making them now/still...but it's not a subject
i feel a "need" keep up on..thankfully.
I'd think he's more in need of a steady
dosing of *Lithium*, though....;o)
