Would you like a little cheese STFU with that whine?

International Herald Tribune

Howard Dean was elected chairman of the Democratic National Committee on a promise: To send millions of dollars in contributions to build up state Democratic parties, even in states that vote solidly Republican. Fifteen months after taking office, he has done precisely that. But the policy that has come to define his tenure to date - while delighting state Democratic chairmen - has embroiled him in a battle with the two congressional Democrats leading the effort to retake Congress.

Dean is doing the job he was voted into the position to do: change the power structure of the Democratic party away from the Washington Insiders and move it to the state parties. The resulting whine is typical. First we heard from that pissant Begala earlier this week now Emanuel and Schumer pipe up.

We take back the country and we take back the party. There's no reason we can't do both at the same time.
