  • HOWARD DEAN FINISHED: It seems a highly successful four-year term as DNC chairman will be the “Dean scream” moment of Howard Dean’s life, as he will not seek a second term and will be out early next year. He will then return to Vermont where he is an abortionist. [Washington Post]

Fi’ty State Strategy, word to the Hojo Sca-ree-am!

True.

Abortions for everyone!!!!

Is “return to Vermont” a euphemism for something?

(first thought: start a distressed debt hedge fund)

populucious November 10, 2008 at 2:47 pm

Well, in all fairness, a new day is dawning in this country for the abortionist profession.

He could run for Senate in 2010 to replace Pat Leahy, who’s getting up there in years.

Tommy Says Soooo November 10, 2008 at 2:50 pm

Howard is first in line for Ambassador to Whogivesafuckistan.

Does anyone get the sense that Emanuel left a horse’s head between his sheets?

Dean’s too polite to say “SUCK IT! DLC BITCHES!” even though he should.

when will Ben and Jerrys come up with an abortion-themed ice cream?

Lionel Hutz Esq. November 10, 2008 at 2:59 pm

Jim: The election is over, you can come out of the tank. It’s “communist abortionist.”

Serolf Divad November 10, 2008 at 3:01 pm

I’s like to see Dr. Howard Dean fight Dr. Ron Paul like Spock and Kirk did in that Star Trek episode that one time with those really awkward looking stick weapon things.

I think Dean would win.

Gotta thank Howard for seeing the Dems needed to be active in all the 50 states. Seems obvious now.

Miller November 10, 2008 at 3:11 pm

Thank God, finally his reign of intelligence, party building, and winning will be over. Finally Democrats can get back to concentrating on winning the Northeast and nowhere else.

Vermont does have the best organic food on the East Coast. Howard needs a rest from his long voter registration bus ride and all that crappy road food.

I think Dean would win too. They’re both crazy ass hell, but Ron Paul is a sad sack kind of crazy and Howard Dean is a Randall P. Mcmurphy kind of crazy. Since they’re both Doctor’s of the lady parts I think the weapon should be speculums at twenty paces.

In Vermont, the rest stops are log cabins and the coffee is free, and its good stuff. You DO have to pay tax on your liquor, cheese, and fetuses.

Will he run for president in 2012?
Imagine, Dean vs Palin for, oh, 20 months or so.
If that happens, I’m gonna stock up on bullets.
Just in case the first one doesn’t kill me.

Jukesgrrl November 10, 2008 at 9:46 pm

I guess Socialist Republics can’t have kings. Can they at least put a statue of Gov. Dean in their biggest town square? Or rename Montpelier, Deanograd? Or something befitting his amazingness? Anyone who has a dime left after getting Hopey elected will chip in.

the invisible woman November 11, 2008 at 12:51 am

[re=172288]Miller[/re]: I totally agree. Dean had the 50 state strategy and nobody gives him any credit. It’s pissing me off!! I HATE UNFAIRNESS!!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiighhh (That’s my dean scream)
