MSNBC: Debbie Wasserman Schultz not on speaking terms with Barack Obama - is a political albatross for Dems

Given that she manages to embarrass Democrats every time she opens her mouth, it's not surprising that I've come to love DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

No matter what the topic, regardless of how unpopular her party's policies are, she can be counted on to spew the craziest, most inane bunch of lunacy you've ever heard. Whether it was her "I meant to do that" response to losing a projected win in Florida, her constant insistence that Dems love and are running on the extreme popularity of ObamaCare, or her doomed attempt to relaunch the ridiculous "War on Women" meme, her grip on reality has become - if we're being charitable - "tenuous." For the most part, her party has been willing to play along and watching them try to justify her incoherent ramblings has been a big part of the fun. ...Unfortunately, it looks like that might be coming to an end. Dems may, finally, have had enough of hurricane Schultz.

Obviously, I hate this. I'd love to believe that Schultz and her party are just as cozy as ever. That way, I'd be sure to see plenty more interviews where she has no idea what she's talking about, a few more attempts to claim that no Democrat has ever lied about ObamaCare, and some more claims about how the Republican party is pretty much just a bunch of wife beaters and rapists. In short, it's good to have a person like Ms. Schultz around, because it reminds us not just of how much Democrats are willing to lie, but of the insipid nature of those lies, and their own delusional willingness to follow the narrative at all costs. Sadly, according to the Politico report referenced in the clip above, Debbie and King Barry are on the outs.

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz is in a behind-the-scenes struggle with the White House, congressional Democrats and Washington insiders who have lost confidence in her as both a unifying leader and reliable party spokesperson at a time when they need her most. Long-simmering doubts about her have reached a peak after two recent public flubs: criticizing the White House's handling of the border crisis and comparing the tea party to wife beaters. The perception of critics is that Wasserman Schultz spends more energy tending to her own political ambitions than helping Democrats win. This includes using meetings with DNC donors to solicit contributions for her own PAC and campaign committee, traveling to uncompetitive districts to court House colleagues for her potential leadership bid and having DNC-paid staff focus on her personal political agenda. She's become a liability to the DNC, and even to her own prospects, critics say.

I'm not saying that Democrats have a limit on how much "crazy" they'll tolerate, but if the "crazy" is no longer demonstrably supporting their re-election goals that's when they start to get skittish. I've never heard of a President who was refusing to speak to his own party chairman but, sincerely, I'm hoping these two kids can patch things up. They've got a good thing going and I want Debbie to stick around - damaging her party - for a long, long, time. She's hilarious. Plus, god forbid, there's always a chance they could replace her with someone who's actually effective.
