On Sunday's State of the Union, Candy Crowley teased into a commercial break: "Next, this week's jaw-dropping moment in politics.The party of women slamming the woman who is supposed to be in charge. We'll ask our political panel who is behind the backstabbing."
That's not "what they call the party of women," just "the party of women." The Female Party.
Crowley explained the Politico hit piece: "The chairwoman of the Democratic Party is finding herself the target of some particularly vicious backstabbing through the use of unnamed sources in the Washington way. I'll tell you what stunned me was the attack was, I thought, pretty vicious in Washington standards and it was that old woman thing: She wants us to pay for her clothes so it makes it look heavy."
Then Crowley complained, "What's her big sin here?...what did she do to deserve this big hit?" Brazile: "There's nothing wrong with being ambitious. What I didn't like about the article, of course, is not just the timing but the nature of the attacks, the personal attacks.Look, I'm vice chair of the party and I turned the gavel over to Debbie Wasserman Schultz. She's done a phenomenal job in reducing the deficit. We have no deficit now."
Newt Gingrich told Crowley that the White House staff were the nasty leakers, but it makes Team Obama look weak, as usual:
GINGRICH: Nobody in the White House staff can say, gee, our Syria policy is not working, our Iraq policy is not working, our Ukraine policy is not working, our health care policy is not working, our economy policy is not working. I guess, it's the president's fault. So, instead they say, we're in real trouble, which they are.
It must be a scapegoat. She's a pretty good scapegoat. But what's amazing is, you know, she could leave with one phone call. I mean, she serves at the president's approval.
Now, here's a president who has red lines you can't meet in Syria, red lines you can't meet in Iraq, red lines you can't meet in Ukraine. You apparently can't meet a red line with his own DNC chair.
