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.

He belongs in a rubber room. I feel sorry for his wife.
I had to resort to google for this one. Apparently "hide the salami" is slang for sexual intercourse.

I don't know how old you are, Randjuke, but as a certified boomer I can assure you that in the 1970's we did not have much use for euphemisms. ;)
Dean's an ignorant lib loon. It's great to hear him, all he does is continue to prove what a complete idiot he continues to be. LOL...
I just heard it on Rush's show...I kinda thought that's what it meant...but there's no way that I'd guess wrongly on it.
Laura Ingraham must have played that soundbite half a dozen times. It's hysterical.
WTF goes on inside that man's skull?
He is a loony, no doubt. Imagine how close we came to having him in the Oval Office...
I just choked on my own bile. looking at that...you'll be hearing from my lawyer!

Oh good Lord! LOL
Howard "Hide the salami" Dean has been hanging around the Democrat base for too long.
No chance, the media gives these things "legs" and the media won't hurt a fellow liberal.
The "leadership" of the Left reminding the voters once again why it would be dangerous to allow them to regain control of power.
Just woke up and can't believe this thread isn't bigger... did people not follow the link and watch the video? Maybe it wasn't as funny to everyone else, but it is one of the few things that genuinly made me bust out laughing watching by myself... a couple times.
No, Dean is a Vienna sausage...
Look at the outtakes on the DVD of "Grumpy Old Men"....then you will understand.
LOL! OMG I can't believe he said that.
Mom.......that was unnecessary.
