  • 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.

  2. Abortions for everyone!!!!

  3. Is “return to Vermont” a euphemism for something?

    (first thought: start a distressed debt hedge fund)

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

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

  6. Tommy Says Soooo says at 2:50 pm, November 10th, 2008

    Howard is first in line for Ambassador to Whogivesafuckistan.

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

  8. ManchuCandidate says at 2:52 pm, November 10th, 2008

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

  9. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 2:58 pm, November 10th, 2008

    I’m finished!

  10. Meth Lab for Cutie says at 2:58 pm, November 10th, 2008

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

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

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

  12. Serolf Divad says at 3:01 pm, November 10th, 2008

    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.

    He’s smart enough to quit while he’s ahead. Good for him.

  15. SelfDeprecatingFed says at 3:05 pm, November 10th, 2008

    They took back the White House… HEAAAWWWWW!!!!

  16. 4tehlulz says at 3:06 pm, November 10th, 2008

    Serolf Divad: Spawning many Dean x Paul fanfics.

  17. Vanity Smurf says at 3:06 pm, November 10th, 2008

    And now he’s gonna go to Disneyland, to Knott’s Berry Farm, to Universal Studios, Sea World and Six Flags…. ARRRGGGGGGHHHH!!!

  18. An early casualty of Rahm’s charm offensive.

  19. Meth Lab for Cutie: toasted almond fetus capuccino royale?

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

  21. 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.

    Meth Lab for Cutie: LOL. And ew.

  23. Schadenfried says at 3:15 pm, November 10th, 2008

    4tehlulz: As long as it’s not slash fic :::shudder:::

    Snark aside, I am not happy about this at all.

  24. sati demise says at 3:16 pm, November 10th, 2008

    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.

  25. 4tehlulz says at 3:18 pm, November 10th, 2008

    Schadenfried: PROTIP: A fanfic pairing with two males is, by definition, slash.

  26. NoWireHangers says at 3:20 pm, November 10th, 2008

    Maybe he’ll get an offer he can’t refuse from Barry?

    Serolf Divad: It’s called a Lirpa, noob.

  29. Vanity Smurf says at 3:27 pm, November 10th, 2008

    David Plouffe. Please, please, please.

  30. May I suggest AM talk radio? That would rule.

  31. Lionel Hutz Esq.: uhh..ok..nerd

  32. Noooo! Howard! Don’t go!!!!!

  33. NoWireHangers: To become Mark Penn’s personal physician.

  34. Serolf Divad: “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.”

    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.

  35. “You mess up one more time, Dr. Paul, and we’ll do a Special on you!”

  36. dano: Dean is an internist. Jim make joke.

    S.Luggo: Thanks, liked the article.

  38. Howard pleasepleaseplease don’t go.Don’t go baby.We need you.

    Is Vermont a country or a continent, Charlie?

  40. tunamelt says at 3:50 pm, November 10th, 2008

    Miller: Usually I hate you for the gratuitous blog-linking, but that comment made me laugh. So, win.

    But end the self-promotion, dammit.

    pourmecoffee: Socialist Republic of Vermont.

    I was there during the election! Best cheese in the world.

  43. Schadenfried says at 4:17 pm, November 10th, 2008

    4tehlulz: I thought slash fic meant male pairings (usually rivals or enemies)+ buttsecks. OMG Encyclopedia Dramatica lied!!!!!!ONE11

  44. 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.

  45. Serolf Divad: wow, that sort of looks like Dean and Paul! Who knew Ron Paul was a Vulcan??? I always thought he was a Klingon!

  46. Jerk Cade says at 5:01 pm, November 10th, 2008

    dano: speculae

  47. RobPetrified says at 5:22 pm, November 10th, 2008

    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.

  48. Felonious Monk says at 6:28 pm, November 10th, 2008

    He’ll be back for the Zombie War.

  49. Jukesgrrl says at 9:46 pm, November 10th, 2008

    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.

  50. the invisible woman says at 12:51 am, November 11th, 2008

    Miller: 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)
