#rsrh Jim McDermott. Democrat. Male chauvinist pig.

Come, I will hide nothing from you: probably Jim McDermott is not a male chauvinist pig, per se.  Even if things like this are being written about him:

Doing double duty as a member of Congress and chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee might “strain” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a fellow House Democrat said Wednesday — an assessment that critics say would not be leveled at a man in a similar position.

Or at least McDermott’s probably not any more of a male chauvinist pig than the rest of his male, Democratic colleagues.  What’s actually probably just happening here is that McDermott isn’t really bothering to think about what he’s saying before he says it.  And why should he?  He’s been able to get away so far with being a duplicitous, drunken, seditionist suckweasel who took Saddam Hussein’s blood money in order to agitate against the GWOT while on foreign soil.   If his fellow-Democrats can swallow that, then they’ll probably end up not doing anything about this.

Rep Debbie Wasserman-Schultz (D, FL-20): veterans not worth protecting?

Now, you can be for or against hate-crime legislation as you choose: whichever side of the argument you’re on, it can’t be denied that there’s an argument going on. But I think it’s just a little disingenuous to be quite this resentful when somebody like Tom Rooney uses your own logic in ways that you don’t like. Even if it does mean adding military veterans as a protected class against hate crimes.

I mean: really, Debbie. Going on the record like that?

Rep. Wasserman-Schultz, of course, has been playing the equivocator game for a while now; from the Iraq War to the Florida Three to the Clinton/Obama endorsement she’s shown no little skill in being on the right side at just the right moment. Probably what’s happening here: now that the GOP caucus is at its currently-low levels, she’s going to have to find some new friends. Which means netroots. Which, of course, means being anti-military.

Pity. Not really surprising, but still a pity.
