Follow the link. You have got to watch the video!!!!! He says it at about 1:15 in to the video.

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".

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.

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!

I love it when Mad Howie goes off his meds!

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?

[Petronski]

Laura Ingraham must have played that soundbite half a dozen times. It's hysterical.


WTF goes on inside that man's skull?

Howard "Hide the salami" Dean has been hanging around the Democrat base for too long.

[Plutarch]

"Hide the salami" is listed as one of the many descriptions of sexual intercourse.

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.

I heard Dean when he said it. I nearly snapped my neck to look around the room to make sure my family was not in earshot. Dean was too stupid to know what he said. Matthews was too stupid to pick up on it.

Look at the outtakes on the DVD of "Grumpy Old Men"....then you will understand.

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.

This is what I've been saying. The Democrats are planning to turn the Senate confirmation hearings on Miers into an inquisition of "What did the President know, and when did he know it?"

They see Miers as a way to demand confidential legal documents and memos from within the White House. They will turn the confirmation hearings into a circus sideshow, and the media will be willing accomplices.

You name it, the Democrats will interrogate Miers on it: the Plame leak, Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay, the case for war, 9/11, Katrina, and probably a few things going back to when Miers was Bush's personal lawyer in Texas.

Should the Bush administration not cooperate and turn over all documents Miers may have ever touched, the media will replay the Texas National Guard firestorm, claiming the White House is "stonewalling" on the documents.

The nomination of Harriet Miers is by far the worst mistake of the Bush presidency.
