Dean Greenspan Remark Outs Tessi as Republican Mole

Howard Dean says Alan Greenspan should be replaced - Jan. 23, 2004

LONDONDERRY, N.H. (CNN) - Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean tried out a new tactic Friday while campaigning in New Hampshire, accusing Federal Reserve Bank chairman Alan Greenspan of making decisions that were "too political" and suggesting it may be time to replace him.

At a second campaign stop Friday morning, the one-time front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination said that Greenspan, who has been chairman of the Fed board since 1987, has had a "long and distinguished career" but his decisions lately have been "troubling."

But Dean is not the first political candidate to take Greenspan to task. Former Vice President Dan Quayle and other GOP candidates did the same in 1999, accusing him of assuming too much power and manipulating the stock markets. Bush was notably absent from the criticism, and in fact announced his unqualified support for Greenspan. "

Oy! First the 'I Have a Scream" speech and now this.

It can no longer be denied. The truth will out. And the truth must be that Howard Dean's main guy Joe Tessi has been taking large sacks of small change in various men's rooms over the past year from Karl Rove. Tessi then takes these wheelbarrows full of quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies to the local supermarket's change machine where they are laundered. This stealth Republican then returns to DeanLand and whispers more sweet suggestions into Dean's ear: "Howard, go out there and give the troops a rebel yell. It'll help you in the south." "Howard, stand right up there and tell the stock market that you'll give Greenspan the boot." "Howard, just say no to steroids."

If ever we had a way-new metrosexual Manchurian candidate, Dean is it.

The League of Women Voters should immediately launch an investigation into Joe Tessi's foreign bank accounts and recent purchase of a marina in the Bahamas.

Update: In email, a reader takes me to task for failing to notice Karl Rove's real job.

One of Rove's collateral duties is the acquisition and maintenance of large stocks of rope in (minimum) thousand-foot coils, and supervision of the small corps of dedicated staffers who ensure that it pays out smoothly, without jerking or noticeable drag.
