1. I pray

DWS gets to see this!

[Cassiopeia]

2. She would be proud.

I don't think she would see anything remotely embarrassing about it.

[yurbud]

4. it would just take a few seconds to find her fax number

I'd send it myself but I'm on the road

[gregcrawford]

22. Someone as self-absorbed as Debbie Downer...

... probably has a platoon of masochistic submissives scouring the intertubes 24/7 for any references to her.

Next to the mountain of messages from Democrats suggesting she take a long walk off a short plank, there are probably several from Republicans saying, "You're our girl! Keep up the good work!"

[Nitram]

3. Give her the boot!

Prefererably, a quick boot to the head.

[rhett o rick]

16. We don't have the power. nm

[hifiguy]

5. A vicious, petty, self-serving, craven, bootlicking careerist toady

who would do anything to advance herself at the expense of anyone she might need to stab in the back. And those are her good points.

[gregcrawford]

21. I'll bet Debbie's ears are burning!

[Fritz Walter]

6. No wonder Joe Biden decided not to run

With all that he and his family have endured recently, he does not need this shit!

Now, if we could just move him into the DNC chair...

[TBF]

10. Right? K&R for your post. nt

[restorefreedom]

20. oh yeah!

excellent idea, although the way things have devolved, i wonder if he would have the stomach for it

[lark]

7. Accurate rendition of how she is.

She's the worst thing to happen to the Democratic party since Joe Lieberman.

[hifiguy]

8. And any time the name of Moldy Joe LIEberman comes up

you have hit the absolute bottom of the dumpster.

[awoke_in_2003]

13. Or Rahm Emmanuel

At least he is only fucking Chicago up

[lark]

15. Yep, they are cut from the same bad bolt of cloth.

Both are DINOS.

[PatrickforO]

9. Oh, that's good!

She isn't having any of 'that populist crap,' is she?

Happily, when she's finally 'retired' from the DNC, we won't have to have her 'Third Way' crap foisted off on us.

[gregcrawford]

14. "Don't try any of that populist crap with me" is reportedly a direct quote...

... from a Iraq war veteran who wanted to run against one of her Republican neighbors. DWS told him to take a hike 'cause he hadn't raised enough money, so she couldn't back him. When he tried to tell her he'd raised 100K, and list his bona fides, she shot him down with that remark. She absolutely HAS to go before next year, or even more state and municipal elections will go red. The woman's walking talking catastrophe.

[rhett o rick]

17. I HRC wins, you might still have DWS around in other capacities. Reward for slanting the

process toward the billionaires' choice.

[gregcrawford]

19. A depressing thought, but very probably true

[pa28]

11. DWS' behavior is disturbing to rank and file Dems but that's exactly why she keeps her job.

Despite losing dozens of govenorships, state assemblies along with the House and Senate she won't be fired. Her primary function is keeping the party working for and squarely in the hands of large donors.

[gregcrawford]

23. Just as a tapeworm devours its host from within...

... Third Way Democraps are conspiring with Wall Street banksters to subvert the last vestiges of democracy wherever they find them.

Makes me say bad words at high volume.

[Gothmog]

12. Interesting cartoon

[gregcrawford]

18. "Interesting," Gothmog? Not "Great?"

[Paladin]

24. AND...she has a reputation of treating her staff like dog shit.

Way past time for her to be replaced.

[gregcrawford]

25. She is a control freak with no self-control

[Paladin]

31. Apt description. (nt)

[Scootaloo]

27. Message is spot-on, but I have doubts about the artistic rendition.

Seems to cleave rather close to some pretty unpleasant tropes.

[gregcrawford]

28. Oh really? Pray tell...

... what "tropes" would apply?

[Scootaloo]

29. Sure thing.

Here we have a Jewish woman presented as a shriveled haranguing harpy with fangs, a sloping head, and a hooked nose. I have no idea what the intent is - My guess would just be to make her look unpleasant in general - but it does key into some long-standing depictions of both Jews and women.

[gregcrawford]

30. Scootie, by all accounts...

... the woman IS a haranguing harpy, she DOES have pronounced incisors - as do I, incidentally - and she DOES have, shall we say, a "distinctive" nose, again, as do I. What a sloping forehead is supposed to connote, I have no idea. It's a caricature, for Pete's sake!

Oh, and she's almost universally regarded as being lousy at her job, which is the only reason she attracted my attention in the first place. I am not anti-Semitic or prejudiced in any way; I detest all religions equally. And just because she happens to be of the female persuasion does not mean she's somehow exempt from criticism. Ya screw up, ya get called out for it; male, female, or any gender identity in between.

I fear that you're letting political correctness cloud your reason.

[Scootaloo]

32. I'm no fan of DWS. I think this particular depiction is unnecessary, is all

[gregcrawford]

33. You are entitled to your opinion, but you are seriously outnumbered by other posters n/t

[Scootaloo]

34. Fortunately I don't decide my stances by popular opinion

if I did, I'd support Clinton, after all
