This video was just posted in Video Politics forum. It is Ed Schultz on Larry King being honest about Florida's delegates and Debbie Wasserman Schultz spinning her head off and twisting and turning.

Schultz and Schultz on Larry King

I have lost all respect for her. And I say thanks to Ed Schultz for taking up for truth and honesty.

Here is the full CNN transcript

She is in denial that Florida voted 115 to 1 to move up the primary. She is stuck in denial...a pretty permanent state of denial. For someone with her intelligence, how does she do it so consistently?

Wasserman Schultz speaks of Dean's combativeness.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Clinton supporter, said Dean's tone was much less combative than it had been. "He's finally realized it's counterproductive to our goal of electing the next president of the United States to continue to insist on punishing the state," she said.


Actually Dean went public and said there should be a revote in Florida. He gave in and said to you guys...hey, revote or follow the rules and go to the committees. And guess what....Ed Schultz is right. You fought against the revote when Dean asked you to have one.

Dean asked for revote, Waserman Schultz fought the revote

I'm glad that the party has reached the same conclusion that was reached by the congressional delegation a week ago," said U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Florida.

A supporter of Sen. Hillary Clinton, Wasserman Schultz had staunchly opposed a re-vote.

..."Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida, has called for a new Florida primary, although he thinks the national party should pay for it. But Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz says another election would be too expensive."

...."The potential of a do-over is slim to none," said Wasserman Schultz, a national co-chair of Clinton's campaign. "The cost of a do-over is beyond reach. A do-over would be unfair. We still have nerves that are very raw from the 2000 recount in Florida."


How do you do that with a serious face?
