Wasserman-Schultz Sandbags A Colleague
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

It is called Hardball, but never before on the MSNBC show or elsewhere have I seen a member of Congress pull this kind of stunt on a colleague. Even Chris Matthews was surprised by the nasty tactic . . .

Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D-Fl.) and Brian Bilbray (R-Calif.) appeared on this afternoon’s Hardball to debate the just-concluded House vote on the stimulus. Like all Republicans, Bilbray voted against it. Presumably trying to hit Bilbray where it really hurts, at one point Wasserman-Schultz cited the supposed number of new jobs that Bilbray voted against . . . in his own district.

Chris Matthews was clearly shocked at what would seem to be a breach of congressional comity–you just don’t show a colleague up like this on national TV.

She’s a vile, annoying woman. Well placed and at home in the DNC Congressional Caucus.

Sounds like an understudy for Red Nancy, who consistently sandbags the house GOP, usually just BEFORE she demands that they vote on something her way.

Liberal thinking goes like this: Bilbray is a Republican. Republicans are evil. Evil must be destroyed.

It is only a few short thoughts to a gas chamber.

You can substitue conservative, Christian, business owner, landlord for Republican and the equation holds true to their minds.

She was the late night diva of C-SPAN when the dems were in the minority... yea I watched it... can't counter the enemy if one doesn't know them.

Wasserman-Schultz 4-5 other representatives would talk for hours to an empty House chamber... all the time complaining and whipping out pie charts to "prove" her/their point(s).

Wasserman-Schultz = bleeding heart hag... I'm sure she didn't forget her broom stick on the way out of the Hardball studio.

Here’s another harpy.

Go here: http://www.foxnews.com/video/index.html

Search for “Showdown in St. Louis” the video from Hannity & Colmes after the VP debate.

Watch her get owned by Sean Hannity.

Wash , rinse, repeat.

She’s a REAL brainiac.... NOT!

Wasserman-Schultz was the dem go-to gal in the House when they pulled the plug on Terry Schiavo. Wasserman-Schultz is evil incarnate.

Her hair always looks dirty, definitely not something you could run your hands through.
And her voice is from such a low register that it sounds transgenderish.
She should be in an orange jumpsuit along with the rest of her crook colleagues.

She’s a mean little knife-fighter, that one. She’s also kinda hot in a weird way. Sexy ‘n’ evil! God help me!

Never liked her. Bilbbray might have responded by telling how many working middle class families will be put out of jobs or just taxed to death in each of their districts.

Congressional “colleagiality” is the enemy. I want to see all these poliical lowlifes defend their actions and not be so dependent of cover from their “colleagues”.
sandbagging is goodness!
