Wasserman-Shultz Complains about Palin on Face the Nation |
2008-09-14 |
When asked to characterize Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's qualifications to be the Republican vice presidential nominee, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., stated flatly that Palin isn't ready to be vice president. "She doesn't know anything," Wasserman Schultz said on CBS' Face The Nation, responding to a charge by a fellow guest, former Mass. Gov. Jane Swift, that Palin has been forced to undergo scrutiny in the media that some would characterize as sexist. "There shouldn't be a double standard," Swift said. "We shouldn't ask of her questions about her ability to do the job that we wouldn't ask a guy in a similar circumstance. "But I think that we also have to acknowledge that, because we've had so few women running for these high-level offices, although this is a great year on that front, that we're also not attuned to hearing women's voices and to seeing them in these positions. "So it may be that we have to be most attuned to not having a double standard, to not asking any female candidate of either party to clear a bar that we wouldn't ask a male candidate in the same situation to clear." Wasserman Schultz disagreed that Palin has had to meet an unfair standard. Now I know who Wasserman-Schultz reminds me of... Aughra from, "The Dark Crystal" |

#3 Debbie Wasserman Schultz looks like an skid row bum in that photo. Like she spent the night before in the all-night dew-drop Inn... Sorry ... but Debbie doesn't have enough on the ball to impress me. Maybe the press should investigate her booze, drug and sex exploits... |

#2 Palin isn't ready to be vice president. I actually agree. Unfortunately, Obama is even less ready to be vice president, never mind president. |
