Wolf finally says something good - DEAN!
Was busy and not paying too much attention, but Wolf was interviewing I think Bernie Sanders (sp)and asked what he thought about Howard Dean for HHS since he was a doctor, political, etc.... and Saunders said he'd approve of him...

I hate Wolf Blitzer, but for just a while, I loved him...we'll see what he does from now on ... he sounded as though HE liked Dean for the job.

2. Wow! Wolf suddenly acknowledges Dean's existence. I wonder why. But the odds of it being
Edited on Sat Feb-07-09 06:57 PM by KittyWampus
because he actually cares about Dean, Democrats or the greater good of the USA is very unlikely.

6. He brought it up out of the blue - Wolf must have
had somebody plant it. No matter whatever prompted it, I was elated..

I trust Howard Dean and always have and always will.

You know Dean didn't let wolf get away with anything when he was making the rounds.

Have you seen this article, fadedrose? It's not just us who want Dean so bad..

<snip>

"Two prominent Democrats are urging President Obama to nominate former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean (D) as secretary of Health and Human Services.
Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), who chairs the Appropriations subcommittee with jurisdiction over HHS and sits on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, said Thursday that tapping Dean - the former chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and a presidential contender in 2004 - would be "a very good move."

Meanwhile, Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), an emerging ally of the president, penned a letter to the White House Wednesday urging the same pick. <...>"

She'd make a good assistant for Dean - would be very dedicated..

Now how do we bring all this about?

8. O/T-but he also interviewed someone from Vanity Fair speaking about the pictures taken of
the entire Obama admin., and I noticed David Plouffe's picture wasn't there (while even his young helpers' pictures were taken).

9. Not real sure...
But I think I heard that Plouffe didn't want to be part of the White House group because he wants to write a book. It'll be about the winning campaign that he ran for Obama.

Can't remember where I heard/read that...maybe do a google.

11. Plouffe didn't want to join the Administration so he is now "the keeper of the list".
