CHRIS MATTHEWS, HARDBALL HOST: Dr. Dean, were you surprised by the nomination of Harriet Miers to be a member of the United States Supreme Court?
HOWARD DEAN, CHAIRMAN, DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE: I was surprised. I'm like most every other American, including the ones in Washington. We know almost nothing about her. And we have a lot of questions to be answered before she gets a lifetime appointment.
MATTHEWS: Would you have ever thought of her as a possible court nominee?
DEAN: No. You know, she's a person who's very much below the radar screen as the president's legal counsel. But there's a lot of questions. I do think the president should make sure the Senate knows about her positions that she took while she was the president's legal counsel because it's the only documentation that we're going to have about what she believes.
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.

First off it would be stupid, but overlookable if he'd just tried to create a simile and failed... but the fact that he chose to use "Hide the Salami", makes it hilarious... Perhaps he thought they were talking about Clinton! Either way, what is this guy in 6th grade that that phrase would just come out so unconsciously, as if he says it all the time?
And, as a born and raised (although not currently residing) Vermonter, I just find this hilarious because one could go to the "civil union" arena to make some great jokes out of this.... Please everyone, give it your best... I can't wait to read 'em and I really hope we see this on the late shows tomorrow. What an idiot... This really needs to become 2005's "Yaaaaaaaaaaargh".
Dean confuses himself.
LOL that's hilarious! Maybe dean had a freudian slip and was just telegraphing what he wanted to do with the blonde haired chrissy mathews!
Howard is a salami. Quick, someone hide him.
lol... that "seal" is terrifying!
Good grief ... "Hide the salami"? What a Tourettes-afflicted freak.
I could not believe he said that. Isn't that off color...... what exactly does that mean?
I know a Bruins fan who will appreciate this!
Pinging 'Reaganesque!
It is slang for anal sex between two men. I have NO freaking idea why Howie did it. However, with Dean as leader of the dems, I have less and less reason to miss Comedy Central. What a cabal of buffoons over there!
Hint: Men have a salami, women have a hiding place.
Say it rythmically, and imagine a stick of salami...not the circular slices...
Now you see it...now you don't...now you see it...now you don't...now you see it...now you don't...
There. Perfectly clear...right?
This guy is just unbelievable. You cannot make this stuff up. This didn't come from the Onion or Scrappleface, did it?
My God, that is unbelievable that he said that!!!
Will this sick comment be on NBC news tonight??
See post # 10.......... so which is it??
LOL. Euw. Does it really matter? :)
No...... I SAW it live. He just said it and kept right on going. Chrissy's face got redder than a hazey sunset.
Sounds like a game Clinton used to play with Monica and the other interns.
;-)
LOL. True! Just not in this case :) Howie, Howie, Howie...
By the way....... I swear this is true, as I was watching that show last night, I noticed something I had never noticed before. Maybe it was the lighting, maybe not, but I swear that Dean's nose looked like a penis. Really.
