What Are the Gobshites Saying These Days?
While we generally stay on the network side of things in this survey, thereby relieving ourselves of the obligation to deal with whatever comes up on Rupert’s International House Of Sociopaths, we have to pause before beginning this week’s entertainment to recognize the embarrassment to evolved primates that was the confrontation on CNN Sunday between Democratic national chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and obvious anagram Reince Priebus, the emptiest suit in American politics. Now, I’m no both-sides-do-it kind of guy but, Jesus H. Christ on a flea flicker, these two clowns were beyond belief. Priebus is one of the regular objects of ridicule hereabouts, but can someone smarter than me please explain to me what Debbie Wasserman Schultz brings to the table at all? She is not particularly bright. She is not particularly charismatic. She couldn’t lead a starving dog to a butcher’s shop and her tenure at the DNC doesn’t exactly remind anyone of Lyndon Johnson, or Howard Dean, for all that. (Debbie? Yes, the president’s policies are on the ballot. To name only one example, the thousands of people who have health care now who wouldn’t have it without the president’s policies, and who won’t have it if the Affordable Care Act is repealed, are on the ballot.) The only vote I would cast for anyone based on this video would be my vote to award Crowley a lifetime supply of Kentucky Gentleman and a freight car full of valium. Yeesh.
