—
The scream in the night rang out-- or could have-- from the West Wing and was very much savoured in the aeries and bunkers at 101 Constitution Avenue and up and down K Street. And no one had to guess from whose filthy moyl the geshray emanated. Rahm Emanuel is no better as a vetter than he was ...

Thursday Big Blue Smurf Blogging: What They Said
Brilliant at Breakfast — Today's honoree: Howie Klein, for making the case for Howard Dean for HHS Secretary. Money quote: But, aside from protecting Wall Street and Zionism, Emanuel has no real ideological objectives. He's a process guy, not a policy guy. People who do care about policy-- like health care, for example-- might be giving the president different advice than what's he's being offered by Emanuel.

Not a bad way to excite your base . Especially now that we know that the GOP will never be Obama's base, no matter how hard he tries. As for this: Dean's nomination probably won't happen because he crossed swords with Rahm Emanuel over the allocation of resources during the lead-up to the ...
