White House “Irritated” with Howard Dean, Not Joe Lieberman

By: Jane Hamsher Wednesday December 16, 2009 9:25 am

Mika Brzezinski I won’t name names, but I heard it from several people in the Administration: Howard Dean, very not pleased, with Dr. Dean speaking out about health care reform and this plan.

Savannah Guthrie: Yeah, very irritated. Yes, isn’t it fascinating they don’t seem to be too angry at Lieberman, they’re reserving their fervor for Howard Dean, but actually, one senior official who I talked to this morning paid the highest insult which was to call him irrelevant to the entire health care debate.

John McCain Tweets on Komen/Hadassah Campaign

By: Jane Hamsher Monday December 14, 2009 2:29 pm

CNN’s situation room just mentioned it, and Joe himself doesn’t seem to be happy about the heat. Poor thing. If you’d like to see more attention paid to fact that Komen is using money raised by those who are “racing for the cure” to give to Hadassah Lieberman, please consider donating to the campaign.
