Why Dean Shouldn’t Be In Charge of My Party, Part 5,632

Howard Dean, on Chris Matthews the other night, said this, about Bush not releasing records relating to Harriet Miers:

MATTHEWS: Do you believe that the president can claim executive privilege?

DEAN: Well, certainly the president can claim executive privilege. But in the this case, I think with a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court, you can't play, you know, hide the salami, or whatever it's called.

Either Dean is trying to subtly float the unlikely story that Miers is the president’s mistress, or he doesn’t know exactly what “hide the salami” means. And I'm not quite sure which proposition is more frightening.
