Howard Dean is on msnbc looking thin and handsome

[flamingdem]

Just wishing he'd play a larger role, DNC head perhaps?

[Le Taz Hot]

1. This administration has him on the back burner.

And no matter how bad they treat him he is always publically loyal.

[polichick]

4. "he is always publically loyal" - but is that good for the people?

[Le Taz Hot]

5. He thinks it is

and since he's not running for office I don't have an issue with it. He was a WONDERFUL DNC Chair and he needs to be there again.

[polichick]

6. I would love for him to speak the truth, ugly as it is sometimes.

[Le Taz Hot]

7. Well, me too, but the good Doctor

has become a Party Loyalist, unfortunately. No idea why.

[polichick]

8. Could be because he's on the payroll at msnbc...

He should be disgusted with establishment "Dems" after the way they disposed of him - and us.

19. For real, replaced at DNC then bypassed for HHS Sec. after he made clear to PBO he wanted it.

Met him once, looks exactly the same, nice manners, pleasant and sharp from what little I saw.

2. I would love to see Dean back in charge. I'm not

a big fan of DWS.

[monmouth4]

3. I so agree with that. Like him a lot too...n/t

[restorefreedom]

13. he kicked ass as chair

needs to get back there

[London Lover Man]

9. No. He did his time as a DNC chair.

It's time for something else for Dean, but I don't think President Bernie wants him in his Cabinet unless it's for HHS position.

[BooScout]

10. He's endorsed Hillary....

He's a smart man!

[Politicalboi]

11. Sanders/Dean 2016

YEAH!!!!!

[flamingdem]

15. A double scoop of Vermont

I'm all for it!!!!!

12. Who cares how he looked. Did you listen to the BS he was spewing.

He sat there and gave credibility to BS right wing talking points. Once again Dean proves he's in the pocket of AIPAC.

[think]

14. I turned the channel when he started talking smack about the Iran deal. Yikers....

[flamingdem]

16. I'll admit I was mesmerized

trying to figure out what he had changed about his looks and if that meant he was up to something.

Sorry to hear that he did that, damn.

18. Not AIPAC, he was a lobbyist for a dissident Iranian group - that at one point was on the Terrorist

Here is an article that speaks of both him and Guilliani supporting MEK. Note that neither now or when he last wanted them to walk away, does he mention his conflict of interest. http://www.allgov.com/news/us-and-the-world/why-are-howard-dean-and-rudy-giuliani-lobbying-for-a-terrorist-group?news=844196 Lobbying for a foreign government is bad -- this is worse.

He was for them not getting a deal back before the frame work - http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/237593-howard-dean-obama-should-walk-away-from-iran-talks

The fact is this deal is an alternative to a likely military action. Dean is wrong on this. If he persuades people against the deal, he may be more responsible for what will be a worse war than the Iraq war than any of the people who voted - for any reason - for the IWR. That war was going to happen, with or without the resolution. Voting down this international agreement throws a monkey wrench into the effort to avoid war here.

In 2003, I went back and forth between Dean and Kerry, before deciding Kerry was better. Now, Kerry is far far better - it is amazing how hard he and the rest of the Americans and other teams worked to get an agreement that all could accept --- and for many of them from comments yesterday, it was to give peace a chance.

20. Thanks for the info.

You should post that in it's own thread.

But Dean has had very close ties with AIPAC for years. In 2004 the co-chair of Dean's campaign was Steve Grossman, a former president of AIPAC. He has repeatedly attended and been a speaker at AIPAC conferences. This is an old article but it discusses Dean's ties with AIPAC: http://www.inminds.com/boycott-news-0400.html

17. Me too! Plus a 1000!

But I always wonder if he has a bad back. That or really REALLY great posture.
