DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s List Of Enemies Just Keeps Growing

[Purveyor]

We will start by admitting this: It's not immediately clear what makes for a top-notch chair of a major political party in the super PAC era.

Is it the ability to raise big sums of money or skillfully lob bombs at the other party? Is crafting a successful strategy and tactics to expand the party's representation and voter base? Is it the willingness to put in one of those let's-get-this-debate-party-started performances like the one Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus delivered Thursday night (complete with the dubious claim that the GOP is the party of diversity)?

The answer to all three is probably "yes." But increasingly, there seem to be lots of Democrats and liberals saying Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) just isn't getting it done as chair of the Democratic National Committee.

Most recently, at least two groups overwhelmingly composed of progressives -- CREDO Action and marijuana legalization advocates -- have publicly called for Wasserman Schultz's resignation from the DNC post. Both are currently circulating online petitions to demonstrate how many people agree.

Now, in a town as insular and politically obsessive as Washington, calls for resignations do have a way of cropping up from time to time. Many carry little meaning. But, in the last four-plus years, there has been a real stream of events Wasserman Schultz really cannot be said to have handled particularly well. It would be hard for even her biggest supporters to dispute that.

1. I can't read the whole article my monthly limit of free WP articles has been reached,

but I agree with what you have posted.

If Schultz isn't corrupt, she's incompetent, my own gut feeling tells me it's a combination of the two.

Thanks for the thread, Purveyor.

2. I wish I had a nickel for every petition I've signed to fire this incompetent hack

Actually, I'd probably only have about 75 cents.

But that's still a shitload of petitions. Unfortunately, none of them seem to have gotten the attention of President Obama, who was the one who installed her in her current position and consequently, is the one who could show her the door.
