Dean told The Hill that he recently had lunch with the White House chief of staff, signaling a thaw in their once icy relationship.

“I think that (tension) was always somewhat exaggerated,” said Dean during an interview this week with The Hill. “Look, we’re both very fierce competitors and very strong-minded people. But I don’t think there’s a lot of ill will between myself and Rahm Emanuel.”

Dean says he has put that behind him. He now works for a Washington law and lobbying firm as a consultant and went to the White House two months ago to have lunch with Emanuel and David Axelrod, a senior adviser to President Obama.

But Dean is not about to share the details of that discussion.

“If I discuss that in The Hill, I won’t have their ear for very long,” Dean said.

1. Wonder if Dean was asked if he paid all his taxes?

The current HHS nominee, Gov. Sebelius, has unpaid back taxes. She'd probably make a good HHS but can't these people do what is expected of every citizen -- pay their taxes?

2. Hmmmm... Still Wish Dean

would have been chosen for HHS -

4. You're mistaken. They're both good Democrats — they'll join forces and bury

the GOP.

6. One can only hope

5. It's nice he got an invite to visit the WH

after his 4 year push for the party. At least he got to meet Rahm and Axlerod.

BTW, Dean talked about that lunch quite a while ago. The Hill is behind times on this.

7. He got an invite and perhaps more — we don't know. And The Hill just interviewed

him, which is why they're mentioning it now.

9. I saw this over in GDP

and I'm very happy about it. Yay!
