Did anyone else hear Rep Debbie Wasserman Schultz on WINZ (Miami) this morning?

[seafan]

The radio host buttonholed Wasserman Schultz for about 10 minutes, asking about what was happening with House Judiciary Committee, on which she sits, on Kucinich's HR 333. She barely stayed to answer, begging off *to go to a meeting*. It was about 7:50 am.


She is desperately clutching the leadership's agenda:


1. Impeachment 'would take 14 months'. (??)

2. It 'would divide the country'.

3. 'We wouldn't be able to get anything done.'

4. We 'don't want to play political games.'

5. People 'just need to get behind Hillary Clinton and elect more Democrats.'




I am furious with what she said.

She went on to *boast* about what legislation they have passed, and I was shouting at the radio: BUT THE REPUBLICANS ARE FILIBUSTERING EVERYTHING AND BUSH IS VETOING ANYWAY AND YOU CAN'T OVERRIDE!!!!! SO WHAT IS THIS THAT *YOU ARE ACCOMPLISHING*??

AREN'T YOU AFRAID OF WHAT BUSH/CHENEY WILL DO IN THE NEXT 14 MONTHS IS WE DO NOT STOP THEM???


She mouthed the typical platitudes: 'We understand that the American people get it.'


OH, WE GET IT, DEBBIE; IT'S DEMOCRATS LIKE YOU IN CONGRESS THAT DON'T GET IT!!!


OUR COUNTRY MAY LIE IN SMOKING RUINS AFTER 14 MORE MONTHS OF BUSH/CHENEY!!!!



And this woman sits on the House Judiciary Committee.

AARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Local residents then began immediately calling in to WINZ to talk about this Wasserman Schultz 10-minute interview (She said she *had to run to a meeting...*) (it was ~7:50 am)... Believe me, the callers are ANGRY WITH HER!




This is on her web site this morning:

Statement from Rep. Wasserman Schultz regarding H.Res. 333


November 6, 2007

(Washington, DC) -- “Impeachment is the most severe action that the Congress can take against the Executive Branch and the consideration of articles of impeachment must not be taken lightly. The charges outlined in H.Res. 333 calling for the impeachment of Vice-President Cheney are serious and deserve more than an hour of debate without the ability to present evidence. As such, I have voted to refer this resolution to the House Judiciary Committee so that the charges outlined can be heard and debated.

“Today, Congress also overrode the President’s veto of the Water Resources Development Act, which among other things authorizes $2 billion for Everglades restoration as well as hurricane recovery and beach erosion funds. We are currently fighting to pass –against the President’s objections and his veto, legislation that would provide health insurance for an additional 3.5 million American children, 230,000 more insured children in Florida alone. Working to end the War in Iraq, expanding SCHIP, passing the first increase in the minimum wage in 10 years, passing the largest veterans health care increase in the 77-year history of the VA, and passing a roughly $1 billion increase in Everglades funding, all of these are issues that Congress has been addressing since the Democratic-led 110th Congress began in January.”

“Impeachment is a lengthy process which would divide Congress and this nation even more deeply than we are divided right now. Referring this resolution to the House Judiciary Committee is the constitutionally appropriate process that should be pursued.”

Vote this woman OUT and put in a true progressive Democrat!
