Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Friday denied that she considered offering her support for a Florida medical marijuana ballot initiative in exchange for a prominent donor stopping his public criticism of her.
"It's outrageous to suggest that I would ever cut a deal," the Florida congresswoman said in an interview with The Associated Press. Wasserman Schultz said she had hoped to discuss ways of improving the language of a future ballot initiative but never sought to muzzle Florida attorney John Morgan, who spent nearly $5 million to champion the issue.

Last time I saw Washerwoman, she was furious with Terri Schiavo for continuing to breathe. Has the vile bitch washed her hair yet?

I still think Wasserman-Schultz is involved in the IRS scandal.

"It's outrageous to suggest that I would ever cut a deal," the Florida congresswoman said... It certainly is outrageous to publicly suggest such a thing. Deals are private.

“It’s unfortunate that John’s passion gets the best of him sometimes, let’s put it that way. But just because of his tendency to do that, that doesn’t mean I would be motivated to change my position to get him to stop,” she said. Asked about the criticism, she said, “I’m not going to stoop to that level.”
I can’t really think of anything that ‘Ol Mayo head hasn’t already stooped to. She has piled lies on top on lies her entire career. She also or used to be good buddies with ‘You have to pass it to see what’s in it Nancy’, that’s enough for me.

And that was the carrot. The stick was that if he didn’t tone it down, she would use the power of the party to hurt his effort all she could. Just watch.

What's really outrageous is DWS continuing to show her hideous countenance in public despite her full awareness of the threat said action poses to the continued normal functioning of mirrors, cameras and clocks.
If being ugly were a felony, DWS would be on death row as we speak.
