( Baltimore Mayor ) Rawlings-Blake to take leadership post at DNC

Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake will become the secretary of the Democratic National Committee on Tuesday, giving her a prominent role in national politics.

...

The most public role the party secretary performs is to call the roll of delegates at the national convention — a largely symbolic act of recognizing each state on the floor to determine which candidate its delegates will support. Behind the scenes, the secretary is responsible for scheduling meetings, distributing talking points to members and, occasionally, campaigning for candidates across the country.

The Peter Principle was already in full effect when she was elected mayor.

Is this for real? If so, this can only be signaling that the DNC’s game plan is to unleash the literal dogs of war.

She seems well qualified for the DNC. She’s a black Marxist.

Or as Rush would say, screw-ups are a Democrat’s resume’ enhancement.

It certainly looks like it was published in “the Onion”, but it is harder and harder to distinguish satire from reality where it concerns the Democrats today.

Joe Biden keeps on looking like a real possibility. You just cannot make this stuff up.

Believe it or not, she’s actually somewhat of an improvement over the last mayor - Sheila Dixon.

"On December 1, 2009, the jury found Dixon guilty on one charge of misdemeanor embezzlement for violating her fiduciary duties to the city and citizens of Baltimore by using approximately $530 in retail store gift cards intended to be distributed to needy families."

According to Fox News last night, he was responsible for the Baltimore policy getting tougher on the Ghetto when he was mayor.

I find it very interesting that the only networks covering the riot are Fox News and MSNBC. NBC was covering the White Hut kitchen and ABC and CBS were doing some kind of outdoor activity.

Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake will become the secretary of the Democratic National Committee on Tuesday,

Obama's hoping she can bring her destructive ability to the entire nation.

Man did she get a little uppity last night when one of the “reporters” axed her about the “give them space to protest” statement that was attributed to her. Almost started the head bobbing/weaving “Oh no she di’int” routine.
