Earlier today I wrote about Debbie Wasserman Schultz being stopped in her tracks when Chris Matthews asked her what the difference is between a Democrat and a socialist these days.
Well, after I wrote that, Ms. Wasserman Schultz was on Meet The Press, where host Chuck Todd asked her the same question. And this was her answer:
“You know Chuck it is always fun to be interviewed by Chris Matthews and I know that he enjoys that banter. The important distinction that I think we\’re going to be discussing, I\’m confident we’ll be discussing in this campaign, is the difference between Democrats and Republicans. The difference between Democrats and Republicans is that Democrats want to make sure that people have an opportunity to reach, climb the ladders of success and reach the Middle Class, have a good education, have a secure retirement. Look at the Republican field for what they stand for is the extremism you see in full display….”
Translation: after two days during which she could either have come up with an answer or had a cleverer Democrat feed her one, she still didn\’t have one. All she could do was barf out her standard issue Democrats-are-good-Republicans-are-bad routine…which is about as fresh as a halibut filet, a week after the ice melts.
Does this mean that Ms. Wasserman Schultz is incapable of providing an answer to the question because she\’s too much of a dim bulb to do so….
….or does it mean that she is incapable of providing an answer because there isn\’t one?
Maybe a few more Democrats should be asked the same question. See if they can do any better. Then we\’ll have our answer.
Mainstream media? Will you do the asking?
