WTF! After three days of euphoric celebration across a grateful nation the corporate news hacks are giddy that James Carville and "party insiders" want to dump Howard Dean as party chair. Why you ask? Because he didn't play nice with Rahm Emmanuel. WTF!

First: I have been on this website for more than five years. I, like most of you, follow politics more than probably 99% of the general populace. You wanna know how many times I heard about this Dean-Emmanuel infighting? Exactly ONCE in an article in New York Times Magazine on Dr. Dean. You wanna know how many times the general public has heard about this Dean-Emmanuel infighting? Exactly NEVER.

Second: I firmly believe that both Dean and Emmanuel (and Schumer) deserve praise and thanks for engineering an almost unthinkable victory. Emmanuel for recruiting great candidates in swing districts, and Dean for putting people on the ground in states that the GOP owns helping us pick up even more districts and forcing the GOP to waste money on defense in Idaho and Nebraska! No one strategy would have worked alone, but in concert it was the perfect electoral storm. All three of these men are getting a thank-you card from me for their efforts.

Third: So the fuck what? He didn't play nice? Big fucking deal! We won, and we're in a great position to make even further gains in 2008. Dumping Dean however would be disastrous as the general public would see the party as dysfunctional. "God, the Democrats are so dumb and dysfunctional that even when they win they fire the guy in charge because they need someone to blame!"

Fuck that! I still plan on celebrating until well past the first 100 minutes on 03 January, and I hope you'll all join with me. I hope this is all just a sign of Carville finally going off the deep end into permanent irrelevancy, but if there is any attempt to sack Dean between now and then, they won't see another dime from me for the rest of my life.
