Who is Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and how did she get to be such a transparent party hack?

First there was her truly absurd disclaimer that she didn’t know the party affiliation of the people behind the “Romney killed my wife” ad. Then her contradictory statement that of course she did; she had actually meant something else that she clearly didn’t mean and clearly didn’t say.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s back-and-forth statements have been so obviously preposterous that they prompt this question: who is Wasserman Schultz, and how did she get to be such a transparent party hack? What was her training, education, and experience prior to becoming a member of Congress and then the DNC head?

The first possible answer that popped into my head was “lawyer.” After all, lawyers are the experts at hair-splitting and word-parsing. Maybe there was something about “party affiliation” that Wasserman Schultz could claim made it a term of art, not unlike Bill Clinton’s famously legalistic definition of “sexual relations,” so different from what we normally think of when we hear it.

But no, Wasserman Schultz is not a lawyer. It should come as no surprise that she is exactly what she appears to be, a person whose adult life has been dedicated to politics to an extent rare even among today’s politicians...

The washerwoman owes it all to the Jewish vote.
Her district is super gerrymandered and she does the same campaign speech all the time.Pubbies want to take way your SS its all she has.

Her politics suck, but I am so thankful she is the DNC chair.

I'll second that enthusiastically!!! She's the gift that keeps on giving as far as we are concerned.

Wonder if in addition to losing her DNC chair job, she can be defeated in her new district and thereby join the unemployed come January 2013. (Of course, in that event, some 'Rat think tank or lobbying group would be quick to offer her a cushy job based on her "political wisdom and know-how.")

Thanks justiceseeker93.

Have the people in the new congressional district from which DWS is running raised this simple and obvious question for her?:

How can you run the national Democratic Party from your position as chairperson of the DNC and serve the constituents of your district as our representative in the House at the same time?

[H]ow did she get to be such a transparent party hack?

Can you say, "dog whistle?"

He will say that, but the onlything that matters now is getting him out of office..

Obama’s first DNC chair was the sitting Governor of VA with a year left on his term.

Unfortunately beating this......um lady....is a big longshot.
