Duck-Trippi Relationship

Here's a portion from a post from Howard Dean, M.D. himself:

Losing Joe [Trippi] is a blow, and I still hope that he will come back as a strategic advisor later, he is the best in the business.

Trippi is gone because Dr. Duck wanted a change. He felt he needed a change. If he still thought so highly of Trippi then he wouldn't have fired him. A GQ article may shed some light on the Dean, M.D.-Trippi relationship. When asked if Trippi liked Howard the Duck, he said,

"To tell you the truth," says Joe, "I respect him more than I like him, and I'm not sure he likes me very much. But I think he respects me."
