Is any sort of farewell event planned for Howard Dean?

[JaneQPublic]

When Terry McAuliffe finished his time as DNC Chair, there was a huge "Thank You" bash. I watched only a bit of it, since I thought Terry was a pretty poor Chair and scarcely deserving of all the praise they were heaping on him.

But as of yet, I have haven't heard any talk about a similar event to honor Howard Dean, who by any measure was a much more successful leader of our party.

Has anyone else heard anything? In any case, we should organize to send mass e-mails, flowers, or something to say "thanks" for getting the Democratic Pary back on the winning track.

7. So Dean's last day would be the same day as Obama's inaugural? n/t

4. I understand some of the new kids are buying him a fart cushion

The way he's being treated is disgusting.

Yet, I saw him on teevee today and he was magnanimous and 'rah, rah, go team'.

5. No.

There is nothing being planned unless by staff that is still there. The DNC blog is even effectively shut down. Weird.

6. Not even a "thanks for everything, Doctor"

Disgraceful.

8. Harry & Nancy have enough Dry Powder for a hell of a Fireworks Display
