Someone beat Dr. J. to the punch…(can Dr. J. say punch?)

The Gormogons Posted on by

Gentle Readers,

Dr. J. was packing the lunches for the lil med student and lil resident this morning when on Fox and Friends, it was announced that rocket scientist, neurosurgeon and DNC Chairwoman(womyn?, person?, persyn?) Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz was going to be on to discuss Jimmy Hoffa, Jr.’s heated words this weekend. Sadly Dr. J. had to miss it because he had to make hospital rounds (NAITMC has not cleared 2-1B to round with the residents on Dr. J.’s behalf).

One thought couldn’t get out of Dr. J.’s mind…wasn’t Debbie cryin’ a river about how invective rhetoric lead to the shooting of her dear friend Rep. Gabrielle Giffords?

Dr. J. was curious as to how this intellectual giant was going to navigate the Scylla and Charybdis of not throwing Mr. Hoffa and his pals under the bus given her prior statement from the Sun-Sentinel:


“It’s our responsibility, whether we’re Democrats or Republicans, whether we agree or disagree, to remember we’re Americans first, and that words have an impact,” she said. “We don’t know when the words we’ve chosen will send someone whose psyche is frayed to begin with, over the edge.”
“Maybe we can all come together and push the shock jocks and the media, who pride themselves in whipping people into a frenzy on both sides, not to do that anymore,” she said.

Now contrast that against what she said was her ‘official answer’ regarding Jimmy Hoffa Jr.:


Hoffa: “President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march,” Hoffa said. “Let’s take these son-of-a-b#@%!s out and give America back to America where we belong.”


DWS: “The American people, like President Obama understands, want us to focus on working together – when I went home, my constituents asked me to come back to Washington and help continue to get this economy turned around,” she said. “That’s my official response.


Now lets go to the video, because it’s far more entertaining watch Gretchen Carlson, fresh back from vacation, give her the grilling. 



Now, the only question Dr. J. would follow up with is, “Do you have an unofficial response?” And when she says, “No”, it would be followed by Dr. J. snarking, “Thought so…”

Truth be told, Dr. J. has a small amount of sympathy for DWS (tiny, subatomic and sprinkled on a bowl full of hot, steaming schadenfreude). She and Jay Carney are perhaps the in the running for being employed in the worst job in politics.

While she probably eagerly and ambitiously accepted the position of DNC chair with the hope that it would raise her national stature, perhaps leading to a cabinet post or a shot as a future gubernatorial or vice presidential candidate, she probably did not realize that she would have to shred the remains of any intellectual integrity (if she ever had any). She also probably did not realize that her job would be to regurgitate the ‘crap sandwich’ that the spin-doctors-who-sit-above-in-shadow feed her.

And everyone knows that ‘crap sandwiches’ do not taste nearly as good coming back up as when they go down the first time…

h/t Pat Dollard for beating Dr. J. to the punch getting the facts out there…
