Well, I favored Howard Dean, but this is the next best choice. Things are looking up.

Excellent news!

Go Debbie..........Take no prisoners......I like your style!

The new face of the democratic party,..... makes me miss Howie Dean !!!

Great - I love blondes.

Oh wait....that is not her real hair color?

So Feisty what's more fake - Boehner's tan or Debbie's hair color and nose?

Come on old gal, I know you do not wish to debate the merits of Obama's plan to reduce the deficit this year, or debt going forward.

Consider this my gift to you.

You are welcome.

I was very happy to read this, and also rather surprised that none of the Repubs or Tea Partiers have chimed in yet.

*update* Spoke to soon...

As a conservative I'll chime in Rev. I have seen her on many news shows. She is a good speaker but loose with facts sometimes. But who isn't in politics. The thing is that now that she holds that position the light will shine on her and if she stretches the truth it will come back on her.

She does do her homework by watching Rachel for the talking points. And now Fiesty will have more liberal quotes for us. About time we get away from the same crap day after day.

Just for perspective, yes blue in the veins, but we have red in our arteries. The truth is always somewhere in the middle.

Fortunately for Deb, she won't have former DCCC Chair Chris Van Hollen hanging around her neck.

Good luck defending 23 U.S. Senate seats.

Harry's going to make a swell minority leader.

this move will prove to help the Republicans. she is hyper-partisan and easily becomes flustered and loose with the truth. She's basically a female version of the uber-hack alan greyson.

but liberals like to keep un-intelligent bad speakers and leaders; ie, pelosi, reid, murray, boxer, on and on and on(heck, even obama and biden; uhh, uhh, uhh)!

good luck with that bad choice, pffft! she will turn Americans off with her fabricated attacks. ONLY LIBS will blindly support her. (like they do obama)

Spanky,

People who intentionally pick fights usually get their azzes kicked; as that concerns you, that would be to kick you ANYWHERE!

OMG, david-1102226...you have GOT to be kidding! I can't believe you are calling those people un-intelligent bad speakers. So who do you think has all the smarts?...Palin and Bachmann? Good grief...

Think she is a fantastic choice for DNC chair.

Hey, Feisty, did we call this earlier or what!!! Wasserman Schulz is a remarkable choice. She is the best of the best, one of the most articulate speakers from either side of the aisle. She is unafraid, and will counter the "teabagger"/Republican lies and hate with humor and charm. I hope to have the chance to vote for her for President down the road. Right now, she will be the best at getting the President re elected.

Scrambolo - Are you threatening me?

What up Scram, are you saying I don't love blondes, or that her hair color really is blonde? And of those two, which is an attempt to pick a fight, as opposed to an observation on my humble part?

But hey, while you are here, perhaps you can help us all out. Is Boehner orange? Is Christie fat? Is Bachmann "bat sh!t crazy?"

So where we gonna do this? Down in the alley? behind the dumpster? Wait I know - down by the river.

You go, I'll meet you there. k?

Need a second, Spanky?

If it's duelling pistols...I'm your guy!

scrambolo: but isn't there a certain irony in poor Spanky, not the brightest crayon in the box, turning that into threats and bluster? If that isn't a COH violation...it should be.

That's sweet of you scrambolo, and since Bev apparently can't come out and play today...

Ok tough guy, while I am awfully disappointed there will be no duel [shout out to MB], I will settle for your assessment of the current debt and deficit situation.

Do you think that the current spending levels are ok? Should there be any reductions in the current deficit? Are you comfortable with the fact that $.43 of every dollar spent is borrowed?

And what about Deb's hair color?

And does it just twist your panties into a bunch that the tea party is literally carrying the day? Come on now my man, you do get that all this fun talk about budgets, deficits and debt, oh and my personal favorite topic - debt service, stems from the rise of the tea party? Cool, huh?

And please do respond to the questions about color of skin, weight and mental stability. There seem to be very pressing to some here. I'd just love to get your take.

Oh and go ahead and educate my bigoted and ignorant "azz" on just why it is you feel I am bigoted and ignorant.

Go ahead I got some time to kill. :)

A sad day in Virginia......

We thought we were "rid of Timmy Kaine'.

Thanks obama!

newday,

you should stay out of it; especially considering you are wrong. you are just siding with scrambolo because she/he is a fellow LIB.

if you researched a few postings back you would see that scrambolo started the threatening nature of their dispute. he is your provocateur.

Gotta hand it to the Tea Party, Spanky...

They have forced their issue...debt...to the forefront of the national discussion.

Maybe future generations will show some gratitude...and marvel at the vilification the Tea Party endured simply for doing the right thing.

Naw, Scrambolo is definitely a Neocon.

Heck I bet he even supports the Libyan war for oil, right Scram? Obama was totally in the right for starting another war in a country that essentially only produces oil?

Plus there was the whole looking to start a fist fight thing-y that gave away his position of neocon-ness.

MB - So do you think Obama will ever actually do anything regarding the little debt crisis or continue to lean on cheap demagoguery?

Where can I place my bet and what is the over/under on actual leadership?

Feisty, care to wade in? How about you NewDay, my little ledge walker?

David: You should stay out of it. You are just supporting poor Spanky because he is a fellow "teabagger". If you researched a few posts back you will see how Spanky started the threatening nature of their dispute.

See how that works David...you folks are SO mindless, anyone can do what you do. Refrain from telling me to whom I may respond. I will make those decisions without your help. As if you were capable of offering help.

Hey, Feisty, did we call this earlier or what!!! Wasserman Schulz is a remarkable choice.

We SURE did NDD - the baggers aren't going to know what hit them! lol

Come on Spank-eye, I wasn't wanting to litterly fight you. I was referring to you as an azz whole! .

I'm impressed - didn't take you long to figure that out! ;o)

You got me NewDay - I do love to tea-bag.

But do tell NewDay - exactly where was the specter of violence first raised? Please quote, or better yet cut and paste the language you contend was threatening.

Come NewDay, play along, it'll be even more fun than we are already having.

Hey there Feisty - are you not just loving all this talk about budgets? Say what do you think will get cut tomorrow? This discussion is really going in the right direction, Right?

Spanky,

I don't have the time or inclination to "educate you", You should have thought of your education when you were in school. Now Spanky, I know you referred to me as "sweet", so I'll have to say, early on, I am straight and married and want no part of your homo overtures. Also, don't let the TP people know your gay, they don't like those type people from what I hear, see,and read. And as for Mrs. Schultz's hair color, I don't judge people by the color of their hair, or skin, I judge them by their character and actions. Perhaps, some day you will learn the wisdom of this fact. The current levels of spending, and resulting deficits, have been actually happening repeatedly over the last 45 years. The deficits have actually increased more under Republican guidance than Democrats. The Office of Budget Management of the U.S. Government will verify this FACT, if you take the time to look at the statistics. One of the worst offenders, Ronald Reagan. I agree that action to reduce our deficit needs to happen NOW. But we can start by cutting defense. How many nuclear bombs and missiles do we need to turn the world to glass. Also, I know you'll like this, George W. Bush has us entangled in wars (Iraq and Afghanistan) which have cost us over $3 TRILLION. That would be 21.4% of our TOTAL debt. Add in $2 TRILLION we spent to save the world economy from collapse in October of 2008, which happened under the "leadership" of George W. Bush, and we can see that old GW Bush did his best to bankrupt OUR country. He alone was directly responsible for over 35.7% of our total debt. And to this day the GOP wants LESS Regulation of corporate America! Absurd! And of course you have "time to kill", I'll bet a lot of time to kill or fill or something! They say ignorance is bliss, so I'm sure you will have a very happy life. I sure hope so! Good luck!

GREAT Choice.

Now, children.

This division is planned, plotted and delivered upon both your houses via the (Fox, MSNBC, etc.) corporate media outlets. Once you're all done squabbling, and the dust settles to reveal an America none of us envisioned, then can we all sit out the pedantic hair color references, and childish scrotum-juggling pokes and discuss some adult issues?

uNmErkin-

Please...

Be aware of your surroundings.

This is First Read.

This is actually what passes for a fairly elevated level of discourse at this venue.

Ok Scrambolo I think I got it now - you don't cotton to the gays, and it's all Bush's/Reagan's fault.

But do riddle me this [unless you have scrambled off already, a lot of you libbies tend to do that]: we agree wars are bad, and a huge suck on the debt, so why won't Obama end these ENDless wars?

Why did he increase the troops in Afghanistan, and start up in Libya?

And again, if you have shout your wad, and now refuse to respond I'll understand. Otherwise, I'll be seeing you tomorrow. :)

I'm surprised you let Scram get away with those lies, Spanky. Democrats have been the majority power in Congress for 80 years, not Republicans. Further, Obama & Dem CO. have deficit spent more than Bush, HW Bush, and Reagan combined - including the wars.

http://washingtonexaminer.com/politics/2009/02/obamas-trillions-dwarf-bushs-dangerous-spending

Please don't allow liberals to get away with lies.

Spanky If you will check history Reagan and the republicans passed in 1985 called emergency deficit act. - which they used to drain S.S. to cut taxes for the rich,and make the budget look good At the same time they dilited tax cuts for the poor.

Kid gloves with the libbies Jhawke. As you can see, Scrambolo ran for the hills.

Besides its more fun to bust wisdom and insight on them slowly, over time.

look at Mixed Bag. He is positively running the monkeys.

Oh and Sylvinite - we all got your memo: Republicans are bad, evil, horrible people that only want to screw the poor and middle class.

Oh, except for the fact that Obama signed into law tax cuts for the wealthiest 2%, and while he was president, and while the dems had both the House and Senate, they somehow failed to pass a budget.

You do remember all the way back to 2010, right Slyvinite? And dude:"A the same time they dilited tax cuts for the poor?" Uh, since when do the poor pay taxes? Remember it's us EVVVILLL rich folk that pay all the taxes. And you are welcome.

spanky in a debate where you must have facts not talking points Im going with feisty anyone with a brain bigger than a tea bag knows feisty will win shultz is just what the dems need someone with biguns

Like I told Spanks and Mixed,

More specifics on who owns this debt.

It didn't just spring magically into being on January 21st, 2009.

http://zfacts.com/p/318.html

Spanky,

We've been waiting for positively MONTHS for you to break 'wisdom' on us,...

sadly - the only thing you've successfully broken hear appears to be wind.

by the way, you misspelled 'incite'.

Well one thing is for certain; Libs have proven during this dispute, not only to be ignorant and out-scored, but bitter, bigoted, and prone to anti-gay slurs. DESPICABLE to be on their team, SHAMEFUL Americans those LIBS!

you LIBS should get some sleep and ATTEMPT to come back another day!?!?

oops, and I misspelled here. It happens,..

david, nice 'voting' block there.

It is about time that the dems appointed someone who didn't look like death warmed over to be the punching bag.

They could have awarded the post to Pelosi, Boxer, Feinswine, but all keep breaking the lenses.

Spanky lol did you just offer to bag Feisty! lol thats just funny, actually funnier than the spelling of you liberals today. Wasserman looks like my second wife...... if she is anything like her, buy her a nice house and she will go away.

I guess the Dems needed a nice Jewish girl to be the mask that covers the face of the most radically anti-Israeli Administration We have ever had, and perhaps decieve a few of that community's members into making the mistake of voting for them again.I do wonder tho, what was she promised for playing the Judas?

Isn't this a great move for the Democrats? She'll be a great help to the GOP when she slants the Dems. farther left than some Dems would like. Will some Dems stay with the party? Now that will be the Wasserman test we all should laugh about.

I wonder what her position will be on the ObamaWar?

Safecracker

Interesting, although many tertiary stage symptoms are present across the board within this population, especially paresis, in this instance I would have to say it's just Democrats being Democrats.

Ah! Once again, and sooner than expected, but definitely expected, ethnicity and discrimination raise their ugly little heads.

How small!

What's the matter disgUsted - you got a problem with the Irish?

Shame on you.

Spanky #2.1:

Debbie Waserman Scultz s Jewish, thank G-d!!!

disgUSted-2940129

"Ah! Once again, and sooner than expected, but definitely expected, ethnicity and discrimination raise their ugly little heads."

I'm part Irish, not that it matters, but think your discrimination based remark is a fools trolup.

You have no sense of humor, think anything you don't agree with is discriminatory, and otherwise, have no clue. But hey, she is the first dem in at least 200 years that isn't hard on the eyes. Look at the cuuurent and past, all ugly men and woman fighting for causes they couldn't have a chance in participating in.

800# Gorilla

"The best news I have heard today! She is also one tough cookie and does not take crap from the GOp/TBaggers.....I look for nothing but good to come from this!!"

I am not disputing your 800 lbs.

You must be the largest tea bag in the world. Teabagger is one who dunks tea bags.

That said, she is the best posterchild for the left in a couple of centuries. The rest would scare the makeup off of a carnival mutant.

Tell us Bob: How many times have you fell prey to a <snickers>, ahem, "Tea Bag"?

Avomonster:

NO ONE, be they GOP OR DEM, could be as worse as Steele, and that's saying ALOT for Tim Kaine!!!!!

jahawke I have in front of me from the U.S Federal spendind fiscial office Bush 2 spent 65% moor than Clienten-regan and bush 1

my last name is hoffman too (originally from clevo)-so i just wanted to tell you, i dont know if you'd feel the same if you lived in her district-she never did @!$%#..

dear debbie, my husband and i are fans of yours from highland park, il.....

Hello there neighbors!

I'm with you Codders!

As a fellow Floridian, Scrambolo, I echo your sentiment.

Now, tell me, what do we do about this charlatan for a governor?

And tell me if you see the comparison.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/93315052@N00/5567117710/lightbox/

Kevin,

Perhaps they will reconsider and indict him for business fraud. They sure let him "slide" earlier in the FBI probe of Columbia/HCA Corporation where he was CEO. He resigned in disgrace four months after the FBI probe uncovered widespead medical fraud in that company. Now the urchin is our govenor, how embarassing!

Say Scram - what our boy Alan Greyson up to these days?

Also if they shut down Columbia/HCA, you know cause they are no good dirty de-frauders, how many people would lose their jobs?

Question which EEVVVIIILLLLL corporation paid more taxes last year, Columbia or GE?

Spanky,

Well now, they don't need to shut down the company to rid the company of a corrupt CEO. After all they didn't shut down the U.S. Government when Nixon resigned in disgrace as chief executive of the United States, did they? And as to who paid more taxes in 2010 I really don't know. I know that if HCA paid $l.00 in taxes they paid more than General Electric, which paid NONE! Now don't get me wrong Spank-eye, corporations are not evil in and of themselves, the evil in corporations ALWAYS comes in the form of executives and special interest groups representing the company. These are people who manage and mismanage corporations. Many, many of them could care less about this country, their employees, or anyone but themselves. In short, they are often brilliant, selfish, extremely greedy, and arrogant to the letter! This is actually the evil you refer to in your post. Exactly like the current govenor of Florida, Mr. Rick Scott! Please give this some serious consideration, the next time one of your TP friends say no to any business or corporate regulation, or as they would say interference, by the government!

Hi fellow Floridians, especially Kevin, isn't it great to have Debbie as Chair. She is one super gal, tough, smart and articulate. She is also a breast cancer survivor, going thru all the steps and never stopped working, keeping her medical problems to herself.

I am so thrilled for her and know she will do a great job, I only wish she were my representative, instead of that miscreant, Allan West.

Debbie, I am ready to help anytime, you have my email address, yes! good times are coming to Florida and the Dems. Bless all your endeavors, Debbie.

Does this maybe answer your question? (from wikipedia)

"Wasserman Schultz was appointed to the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee in her first term. During the 2006 elections, she raised over seventeen million dollars in campaign contributions for her Democratic colleagues (third most after Nancy Pelosi and Rahm Emanuel), she was chosen as Chief Deputy Whip and appointed to the powerful Appropriations Committee, a plum assignment for a sophomore congresswoman......According to the Congress.org 2008 Power Rankings, she was the 24th most powerful member of the House and 22nd most powerful Democratic representative (also most powerful Florida representative)"

Ka-ching!

Boo Ya!!! In your face jboy49!

YEAH,KA-CHINGGGGGGGGGGG. like she said! lol

Thank you, JoAnne in PA, for actual data (I hope - wiki, and all). I almost didn't comment because all I saw were a couple of junior high kids calling each other out, a deranged vet calling Ms. Wasserman-Shultz a Nazi and a bunch of people complaining about her hair color.

Now, it is true that the Duke of Orange has toned it down some, but does that mean he is no longer on the patch and smoking and is now just smoking??? - tanning lotions aren't the only thing that colors the skin.

As to hair color - name any rep or senator, probably of both genders who is not touching things up? Name a woman who has not streaked her hair IRL. Goodness, until my snow white mane took over, my hair lady kept records on 3X5 cards because I changed hair color all the time; the last being a champagne blonde with pink and lavender streaks (age at the time:60). There is no need for these ad hominems. We all know that she understands the weight of her positions, but as a woman, she is used to doing double the work and still getting dissed. Of course, she will succeed because we are able to do so much more at the same time than a mere male.

JH,

And we all know your an Albert Einstein prodigy, right?

I'm sure she'll be able to devote her full attention to your district.

Good luck.

watse o space she is..i live on her district too..

@Spanky - I don't want her attention in my district or in D.C.

The Liberals like the big government she espouses. If the rest of America likes that too, then the 2012 election will go Democrat. But if the mood of the people is the same as it was in the 2010 election, the Republicans should again enjoy enormous gains, almost regardless of the candidates.

Plethuno,

The mood will not be, and IS NOT now the same as it was in November of 2010. I suggest you look at some non-biased opinion polls. As the song goes, "turn out the lights the (Tea) Party's over"; the proverbial conservative "cat" is out of the bag and running loose causing havoc throughout the land of freedom, and some FORMER conservatives are starting to see reality. Just ask those folks in Wisconsin, Ohio, and Indiana.

That's good Plethuno, they are effective Dems too. She will be very effective in her own right.

Now that your boy Obama has a track record, watch for anouther bloody november for the liberal dems !!!!! HA ,HA, HA !!!!
