    All hail...

    ...the victory of Rahm Emmanuel and the DLC. No punishment is too great for Howard Dean, who committed the unforgivable sin of being right about the 50-state strategy. Not to mention that he didn't play by the usual (i.e. "The Democrats always fight lamely and lose") rules.

    Dean will forever be persona non grata to the Washington political and media elite.
