Breaking News! Howie Dean Throws His Ring Into The Hat

Yep, it's official, everybody's favorite Big Pharma lobbyist sez he wants to be DNC chair again.

Oh my gosh, that Honest Hillary is such a cynic, isn't she? For Pete's sake, what could possibly be wrong with appointing a neoliberal corporate shill drug company lobbyist as the Democratic Party chairman? It practically screams: "Voters, we've heard you loud and clear, and change is on its way!"

Now true, there could be a few awkward questions raised about Governor Dean's lobbying activities, but these will be easily dispensed with, for the simple reason that Governor Dean assures us that he isn't, in fact, a lobbyist. Admittedly, The Intercept ran a piece back in January entitled, "Howard Dean Says He's Not A Lobbyist, But He Sure Acts Like One." But after all, how much credibility does The Intercept have left, when they were conspicuously absent from Hillary's cadre of fawning, sycophantic media outlets? In other words, missing in action when we Democrats really needed them most.

In short, Howard Dean is the ideal successor to Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Donna Brazile, and will undoubtedly take their efforts to take the Democratic Party to the next level, to the next level. Hold on tight, it's gonna be a fun four years!

Regardless of the path in life I chose, I realize it's always forward, never straight.

Just the fresh change in direction Dems need, to signal to the deplorables who voted for Trump that the party of Hillary is still for Hillary. Bernie wants Ellison. BTW, the TPP is dead. Mitch McConnell said so on The Hill.

or Debbie, or I would if I were a Democrat. But since I'm not I don't care.

The Podestas of the world will try to figure out how to finesse this, no matter who's head of the DNC.

Why do Democrats keep looking back for their political leaders?

And it's not like they are looking back to historically awesome periods either, so it's not a hearkening back to a better time. It's like looking in the rearview mirror and trying to undue the accidents you caused.

Democratic Leadership are total morons. One and all.

and here...was it yesterday? Kos was screeching that the DNC should install Bernie as chair.

Can't you just hear them in the Damage Control meetings the last couple days, about how if they throw some Lefty Red Meat at us, all will be forgiven and we'll all just come running back to the Party?

"Give them Dean! And Sanders!! It can't miss!!!!"

Fucking idiots still don't have a clue how screwed their pooch is. I did my #Demexit today, officially. Good riddance to bad rubbish....

The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?

(the movie) with these F'n morons, the same shit day after day nothing changes. They still don't get it, Exactly why I don't see myself voting for any Dems anytime soon.

The Clintons and the Podestas are waiting in the background and will reappear to continue what they were interrupted when Hillary lost.
This is why the democrats didn't want Bernie to win.
They can patiently wait for the midterms and get back to work.

Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.

that Chelsea is now officially being groomed to run for Congress. The current holder of the seat she intends to run for, Nita Lowey, is now 79 years old. Just hope the poor old lady doesn't accidentally slip on those wet Capitol building steps some dark and rainy night. What a tragedy that would be! I can just imagine the tears streaming down poor Chelsea's cheeks as she announces to the world that an unfortunate "act of God" has forced her to move up her timetable.

OK, so what's below the bottom level of hell they're at now, to which he's going to take them? It can't really be tortoises all the way down from there because their shells would over-heat and kill them all. Plus there wouldn't be room for all those swollen corporate Dem heads and egos.

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.

A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.

Vowing To Oppose Everything Trump Attempts.

of the many who threw any remaining credibility he had on Hillary's pyre during the campaign. He was a major proponent of the "nothingburger" theory about her emails and he further spiraled downward into madness IMO when he accused Trump of having a cocaine sniff. And then of course, we all know the good doctor is a lobbyist for pharma, something he never seems to disclose.

List of people and institutions who no longer have even a smidgen of credibility: Howard Dean, Ed Rendell, Jennifer Granholm, Claire MacAskill, Donna Brazile, CNN, Wolf Blitzer, Jake Tapper, Rachel Maddow, Jonathan Capehart, Andrea Mitchell, Joy Ann Reid, Markos, TPM, The Huffington Post, The Washington Post, The NYT, and countless others.

Feel free to add to the list of people who will no longer be listened to.
