Howard Dean: I Wonder If Obama Has the 'Legal Authority to Do This'

[geek tragedy]

11. Here are several statements of fact from what I posted.

--Dean is a senior strategic advisor at McKenna Long & Aldridge,a heavyweight Washington lobbying firm

--Dean played a prominent role representing the biotech industry during the healthcare bill debate, staking out a position on biopharmaceutical drugs that was decried by consumer groups.

--biotech CEO and industry trade group leader Jim Greenwood told a trade publication “Gov. Dean was very helpful to us. ... As a physician clearly focused on healthcare, a Democrat leader and clearly to left of center, his efforts were impactful.”

--Dean is also currently one of the most prominent paid voices in a public-relations campaign on behalf of the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), an obscure and controversial Iranian militant group that is aggressively lobbying the Obama administration to remove it from the official list of terrorist organizations.

You can ignore the fact that Howard Dean gets his money from the 1% these days, if you want. . .
