Debbie Wasserman Schultz just had Chucky Toad for breakfast, then spit him out!!!

He was just relentless using shit polls, old numbers from Saturday and just about every talking point possible for Mittens. DWS continued each time to calmly rebut each one of his bullshit talking points. I have not had the displeasure to actually view his "show" in a while and now I remember why. It was just so freaking transparent, yikes...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Leadership_Council


.....(snip).....

The DLC has become unpopular within many progressive and liberal political circles such as the organizations Center for American Progress, Democracy for America, and the blogs Daily Kos and MyDD.

Some critics claim the strategy of triangulation between the political left and right to gain broad appeal is fundamentally flawed. In the long run, so opponents say, this strategy results in concession after concession to the opposition, while alienating traditionally-allied voters.

Other critics cite that the low turnout of organized labor in the 1994 election after Bill Clinton signed the North American Free Trade Agreement into law resulted in the Republican Party gaining a majority in the 1994 House of Representatives elections and 1994 Senate elections that would last for twelve years until 2006.

and it came in with Bill Clinton and the "triangulation" which made Bill the best Republican president in history. (okay, maybe that was a bit of hyperbole, but close)

candidates for Congress in 2008 and basically doing the wrong thing... As Chuckie was doing his thing on her, it suddenly dawned on me that they put her where she is to try to grab Florida for our President... Me, I wish we still had my friend Howard Dean running things. I never understood why he was sort of disappeared after doing such a great job for us...

I think part of the reason we are in the mess we are in is because we have too many centrist dems in power and too many right wing republicans. The centrist dems are too quick to compromise with the right wing republicans. We need our guys to have a little more fight in them. I agree. I think Howard Dean did a great job of running things.

Not that the entire East Coast is under a state of emergency.

I shudder when I think how much these people are paid for such stupidity.

We'd all be a lot better off if all the cable networks were forced to be on the air only 4 hours a day.

They put so much crap out just to fill up the clock.

She is a cutie pie. Very friendly and sweet, and a little ball of energy. She doesn't have an "intimidated" gene.
