Dean for HHS Secretary? What a scream!

That Eleanor Clift is a RIOT!

She wants President Obama to name Howard Dean as Tom Daschle's replacement as the new Health and Human Services secretary! And to all appearances, she's actually serious!

The appointment of Howard Dean to the cabinet in any capacity would instantly turn President Obama's whole "purple nation" appeal to bi-partisanship into an even bigger joke than the partisans of his own party have already made it. Dean is about as close to a poster-child for the partisan divisions within this nation as anybody could be.

Even for Eleanor Clift, who has come up with some whoppers, this is a really, really bad idea.
