Just Curious, What Do You Think Of Donna Brazille?

Poll question: Just Curious, What Do You Think Of Donna Brazille?

[Barack_America]

1. Not appropriate for General Discussion: Presidential nt

[Dinger]

5. Well Than Move It, I Put It Here Because

she does comment on the 2008 elections, so while it's a bit of a reach, I thought it might be o.k. for GDP. I defer to the mods.

[specterderrida]

12. Why not? do you have a reason? She certainly is out there as a representative

for the DNC.

[eshfemme]

2. I like her but that's because I think she's cute-- her smackdown of Paul Begala was classic.

It was smart and funny but firm. So I have lots of respect for someone like that.

[redqueen]

21. I missed that... what'd she smack Begala down for?

I'd like to see her smacking down repukes and their water-carriers a little harder...

[eshfemme]

25. It was during the primaries I think when the MSM was dragging it out.

Contrary to the hopes of the Hillary people, it was pretty much in the sack and that was Donna's position while Begala was definitely rooting for Hillary. It was a cute little argument because Donna wasn't going to let the BS go.

[redqueen]

26. OK... thanks... I remember Begala spanking the pukes pretty hard recently...

so I was kinda shocked she'd go after him.

[Romulox]

28. Was Donna appearing in her capacity as a "neutral" representative of the DNC at that time? nt

[eshfemme]

31. I think any rep of the DNC's neutrality was very challenged by the whole BS of the primaries.

So I won't give her crap about it. And yes, it's BS when first, it's the delegates that decide the nomination and then the superdelegates and then the popular vote. I might have the order wrong here but this whole changing the goalpost thing was definitely a fucking headache so I don't blame the DNC one bit for being pissed about it because it was essentially blaming the DNC for DOING THEIR FUCKING JOB by enforcing the rules when it really could be blamed on the Hillary team's shoddy campaign.

Anyway, Donna was kickass because her argument with Begala was obviously good-natured and not bitter at all, which in a time when the atmosphere was increasingly vitriolic was a nice change. So I remembered it.

But the fact that you mention her "neutrality" evokes a certain bitterness about the whole thing. Sorry but Hillary lost a long time before the MSM and her followers finally admitted it. What's scary is that there are still people who don't admit it.

3. I put she's okay I guess. She was supportive of Obama, but never publicly said so.

That was the problem.

[YOY]

4. She keeps her cool. I give her that.

When I'd like to start beating the opposition when they start bringing up their usual non-issue BS she stays calm.

[Bluenorthwest]

6. She is an active opponent of my political goals

Donna Brazile is a homophobe, and according to Howard Dean she was one of the ardent opponents of adding GLBT people to the guidelines for affirmative action in the National delegate selection process.
Brazile opposed efforts to bring GLBT representation to our convention. Vocally, and with great gusto.
As far as I'm concerned she can go join the GOP, clearly her heart's true home Party.

[yardwork]

11. My feelings exactly. And this belongs in GD-P because Brazile is a long-time Clinton adviser.

[specterderrida]

13. More importantly--currently -she speaks for the DNC.

[yardwork]

19. I wish they would dump her. I'm sick of that faction of the party.

[Dinger]

20. I Thought For Sure She Was A DLCer

Are you sure she's DNC?

[redqueen]

23. She has been for years hasn't she? DNC?

She's not DLC I don't think... not sure if she was before though.

[libnnc]

22. wow, I did not know that

she's the one putting up that roadblock?

That explains a whole bunch.

[Chloroplast]

7. She's simply the best. Go Donna! Woot!

But why is this in GDP?

[WinkyDink]

8. I cannot abide her.

[TheDebbieDee]

9. She's a tool............

[Balderdash]

10. I picked tool but

that's because you didn't include a choice for traitorus bitch who has probably destroyed the Democratic Party.

[Chloroplast]

15. 'A traitorus (sp) bitch'? That's a bit harsh.

Who did she betray and why does she deserve to be called such a harsh name? Some people...

[Beacool]

14. Oh yeah, I remember how "uncommitted " she really was during the primary.

As uncommitted as Clyburn.

:eyes:

[Dinger]

17. I Noticed That Too (nt)

[Gidney N Cloyd]

16. Friend Of Karl. nt

[Iggo]

18. She seems nice, I guess.

[redqueen]

24. OK I guess...

she hasn't shown the backbone I'd like to see... but precious few Dems have till just lately.

The DLC types seem to have a vitriolic hate for her, so that's definitely a plus in my book. :)

[Mimosa]

27. Donna Brazile: nice, smart NOLA LADY

I like her. She's never hysterical, she's very much a New Orleans lady. She has class, balance and is a thinking type. My guess is on the Myers briggs personality test she'd be an INTJ, like me.

[Phoonzang]

29. I have no real opinion. She's ok I guess. n/t

[Sugarcoated]

30. She's been a pretty good advocate for Obama

but she seems too nice sometimes . . . but I just assume that's her way. She's very respectful of who she's debating, but I've seen her sting back pretty well lately.

[JVS]

32. She seemed like a normal functionary who inspired no strong emotions before certain haters started..

bashing her for no good reason.

[Mass]

33. Average Democratic pundit and TV strategist. Most of them suck.

[JVS]

34. It seems like you are inviting people to bash a democrat. Why not ask the same about Hillary?
