Thursday Big Blue Smurf Blogging: What They Said
Posted by Jill | 7:58 PM
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. We're hearing every disastrous reform-killing name you can think of from the HMO Industry's Dollar Bill Frist and puffed-out elitist Newt Gingrich to Tennessee's reactionary quasi-Democratic Governor Phil Bredesen. And then there are the decent, if not stellar, candidates like Kansas Governor Katheen Sebelius and Oregon ex-Governor John Kitzhaber. And Howard Dean, the logical choice? What about him? Just Emanuel's scream in the night and threat to hold his breath 'til he turns blue (not a bad idea).
