Crystal and I were watching Late Night when we heard about an episode of Hardball where Howard Dean made an appearence. This is the good part: he was quoted on TV saying that, when it comes to the supreme court, you can’t play “hide the salami.” Here’s an excerpt:

MATTHEWS: Do you believe that the president can claim executive privilege?

DEAN: Well, certainly the president can claim executive privilege. But in the this case, I think with a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court, you can’t play, you know, hide the salami, or whatever it’s called. He’s got to go out there and say something about this woman who’s going to a 20 or 30-year appointment, a 20 or 30-year appointment to influence America. We deserve to know something about her.
