Howard Dean hits Hardball to demonstrate his fluency in the today's hip slang:

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. He's got to go out there and say something about this woman who's going to a 20- or 30-year appointment, a 20- or 30-year appointment to influence America. We deserve to know something about her."

I don't know what it is called, but I think we can safely assume that it's not "hide the salami."
