Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz attempted a bit of deception Monday in an effort to criticize GOP rising star Marco Rubio ahead of his State of the Union rebuttal Tuesday night. But on this occasion, the press wasn't falling for it.

I fail to see anything news worthy. When Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz speaks the truth for a change....that WILL be news.

Obviously, this reporter’s question was wayout of line and demeaning towards women. /s

Aw come on lowbridge. It’s the thought that counts.

BTW, I’ll give you $100 if you can get Schultz to put a shoe up to her ear. :^)

A quick Google search shows it's being ignored. Other than the Palm Beach Post, which uncovered the deception, only conservative blogs are reporting the story.
