Dean, possibly confusing Presidents, accuses Bush of playing "hide the salami" with Miers?
MSNBC - Hardball with Chris Matthews ^

Posted on 10/06/2005 2:44:34 AM PDT by rabair

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.

Howard Dean is confusing Bush to the last president. Bush married a attractive heterosexual. Clinton chased everything that moved.

Yes, I understood it to be a euphemism for hetero sex as well.

Not this sh!t again ...

MATTHEWS: I mean, the Dean scream was good material, like the ride in the tank was good material for the Republicans when they went after Mike Dukakis.

DEAN: Well, as you know very well, based on Diane Sawyer's report on ABC, that didn't exactly happen the way it was shown on television 700 times that week. But leaving that aside, I think it's very clear.

MATTHEWS: I know: it was a directed mike. I understand the technology.

Finally! I've been waiting, tapping my foot, to see how long before *some* Dem raised this, as a natural growth product (har!) of their "cronyism" charge. It took them this long? Wow. They are losing their touch.

It is slang for anal sex between two men

No, lol -- it's not. This 'innuendo" goes long back before gays came out of the closet. It's a classic "hetero" sex line.

"Hide the Salami"

Yikes! Brings back memories of the old Boston Garden though. Ah the memories of having beer dumped on me from the upper levels. It's the small things you remember. ;-)

Me as well. I had never heard it specifically used as a homosexual slang term, but have heard it used an many occasions as referring to an act between consensual adults.

Like mewzilla says...ewwwww.

HA! I saw him say that last night... what a maroon! If Bush... or ANY other Republican made such a stupid flub... it would've made page one in the MSM/DNC!

They are probably right. I heard it in the 7th or 8th grade as a remark about two obviously gay teachers. I just assumed it meant gay stuff, as I really never heard it afterward.

Making Howie even more incoherent than usual is a good thing.

1. We were using the term as a euphemism for plain old sex way back in college in the 70's, although I supposed it could be used for gay sex, too.

2. Accusing Bush and Miers for playing hide the salami - can't Dean stop the politics of personal destruction? Can't we all just move on? What's with those sexually repressed prudish Democrats anyway?

He just doesn't know what the phrase means. He thinks it has something to do with keeping things a secret.
