Debbie Wasserman Schultz Tangles With Gretchen Carlson On Fox & Friends
Fox ^ | 2/29/12 | Fox

Posted on 02/29/2012 9:11:12 AM PST by Nachum

In an at-times heated interview, Fox and Friends co-host Gretchen Carlson grilled Democratic Nation Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz over high gas prices, and played video of her criticizing President Bush over the same problem.

“So I think you felt the President could have done something about lowering the gas prices,” Carlson pressed. “What do you say now that gas prices are going to reach $5 a gallon under President Obama?”

“What I was referring to in that speech, as I have for many years, is that focusing on fossil fuels and continuing the ‘drill baby drill’ strategy that President Obama rightly referred to the other day in south Florida as ‘a bumper sticker, not an energy policy,’ is not the way to go,” Schultz replied. “We are not going to address gas prices over the long-term because there is — there is no President in the short-term that can really change policy and impact gas prices in a significant way. But what we do need to do is over the short-term and long-term make sure that we are using the ‘all of the above’ strategy that President Obama has employed: more domestic energy production than we’ve had in eight years, making sure that we invest for the future in alternative energy like wind and solar and hydroelectric power, so that we can really start to impact our need to depend on…”

“But A lot of Americans are wondering what’s going to happen now and a lot of those things take time,” Carlson shot back.

“Affecting gas prices takes time,” Schultz acknowledged. “You’re absolutely right,”

There is one worse than “Mayo-hair” DWS; If you dare, search “Jan Schakowski”.

But, only on an empty stomach!

They won't talk about the one promise he kept.

The Kenyan lizard thinks he can win with high gas prices and a nothing I can do message.

I doubt it.

He definitely should not be able to win with it. But a dumbed-down, largely-on-the-dole constituency makes it possible.

“more domestic energy production than we’ve had in eight years,”

No, it’s not her idiocy that we should focus on — it’s the natural and routine way that this government blows smoke up the people’s a$$e$.

Democrats:

No domestic energy development
No domestic energy jobs
More borrowing from the Chinese for alternative energy
Higher costs for everyone

There’s excellent advice in there, pookie. Just want to say, though...when it comes to opening knots there’s a better way. Do it like an animal does it. Grip the last section of knot firmly (they do it with teeth, but use your fingers) and wiggle it back and forth very fast for a few seconds. Knots loosen up amazingly well this way.

——Well I know that neither Debbie Downer nor myself got in let alone graduated from Stanford like Gretchen. how about yourself——

I was accepted at Columbia, like Obama. Chose to go to an engineering school. Are you impressed by credentials? Ivy league grads? Or your lying eyes?

Gretchen is the Sean Hannity of female conservatives.

As soon as that witch came on this am I switched her off, didn’t want to lose my breakfast. Fox is really committed to leftist views.

“I never thought that there was a loathsome, dissembling Democrat I could dislike more than Barney Frank, and then Debra Wasserman Schultz raised her snake-covered head like some beast out of the sea.”

Have you so easily dismissed Alan Grayson, Cynthia McKinney, Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, Anthony Weiner, Harry Reid, John Kerry, John Edwards, Charlie Rangel, Henry Waxman, and Ted Kennedy (D-Hell)?
