Debbie Wasserman Schultz On Return Of Rep. Giffords: ‘Gabby Melted Our Hearts’

video
» 49 comments

One of the few people who knew ahead of time that Rep. Gabrielle Giffords would appear in Congress Monday to cast her vote on the debt deal, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz described the moment–and the planning that went into it–on CNN’s American Morning Tuesday, telling Ali Velshi the sight of Giffords–who was nearly killed in a shooting spree in Tucson in January–had an instant effect on the divided House, filling it with electricity. “Gabby melted our hearts…it was absolutely an incredible moment.”

Wasserman Shultz said Giffords husband Mark called on Sunday to say Rep. Giffords had been following the debt crisis negotiations and was intent on returning to work to cast a vote. “As the hours went by, she decided this was probably the most important bill we’ll consider the whole Congress and she wanted to be there to make sure that her constituents in the Eighth District in Arizona had their voices represented.”

    Does Debbie Wasserman Shultz look and sound like she has a heart?

    Well that’s an improvement for DWS…not the shoe store, the Rep from Florida! Perhaps with a more positive influence, DWS’ disposition will improve.

  • realheadline

    Wasserman-Shultz was made to look compassionate. I could hardly see the strings. Thanks Communist News Network!

    would you if your friend was shot through the head?

    Yes, it’s a wonderful thing that Gabby’s up and running. God bless her.

    That said, do you really think we’re not going to notice how badly y’all just screwed this country with your blessed compromise? Do you think if we’re all looking at Gabby and enjoying it that we’re not going to notice the cliff you’re got us hurtling toward?

    Forgive me but Wasserman Shultz is such a troll

    Soften that camera focus,please! She scares pets and small children.

    “And what happened, then? Well, in Congress they say – that Debbie’s
    small heart grew three sizes that day. And then – the true meaning of compromise came through, and Debbie found the strength of *ten* Debbies, plus two!”

    Or at least we can hope so. Unfortuantely I fear that tomorrow DWS will be back to the usual name calling.

    A thoroughly vile comment.

  • The Real Royal Emperor

    Seems to me that there was a much, much better offer on the table several weeks ago. Real cuts. Not the artificial, illusory T-Partee Terrorist inspired cuts. But, the TPTs would have none of that.

    Nope. The T-Partee Terrorists own this ridiculous bill.

  • The Real Royal Emperor

    Watch out! There’s a tall, fair-skinned man with blond hair and blue eyes standing behind you! A radical Islamo fascist terrorist! For certain!

    She sounds like she has mush in her mouth….But isn’t she cute with a great smile……:(

  • Da troof

    You’ll know that Ms Giffords is FULLY recovered when she LEAVES the Democrat party.

    (btw, there’s no evidence that Blabbermouth Schultz HAS a heart)

  • Michelle

    Would you knock it off!! You’re one of the absolute worst. 

  • realheadline

    Could be. You’ve got a clear 1 in 1,000,000,0000 chance. Keep your eyes open, not everyone is out to get you but there’s those that would like to try.

  • Calling it like it is

    Wasserman-Shultz look like she has attempted to get some of that grease out
    of he hair!  But it looks like another hald dozen or so treatments with Deep Cleansing
    Shampoo still required!
    But I don’t know what can be done with that screetching awful voice, and I think it may be to late
    for her to develop any Charisma.
    She is going to be the best thing that ever happened to the GOP between now and
    Nov 2012.

  • The Real Royal Emperor

    I didn’t kill anyone. Not at Mountain Meadow. Not anyplace.

    Anyone who calls an elected official a terrorist is indirectly inciting violence against that person.

  • JoeJ

    AWWWWWW!
    New cutsy names for RRE to attempt to get off on!

  • Harry Flashman

    God bless Ms. Giffords and I wish her grace and speed in recovering from the vile act of a lunatic. And anyone who does otherwise or who uses this for political talking points, left, right, or indifferent is an odious person.

    Want to see the true nature of someone’s character? Watch how they comment on Giffords and her appearance to vote for this bill. I think the fact that she was ABLE to appear after being shot in the head is amazing and wonderful.

    Good for her.

    Wasserman-Shultz is a different critter altogether. Gak.

    Debbie Wasserman Shultz sounds like a blood test for gonorrhea.

    Seeing Giffords is a harsh reminder of how the crazy leftists can be easily pushed to violence by the hate filled rhetoric coming from the leftist media, especially from AMessNBC and lefty web sites like Mediaite

  • Harry Flashman

    Heh. Thanks. Needed the laugh.

  • JoeJ

    OUCH !
    That’s gonna leave a mark :-)

  • KarlSpensen

    As easy as it is to say that crazy leftists or radical righties are to blame for the violence in Tucson, the facts as we have been told indicate that this particular act was committed by a mentally ill individual.

    Anyone with an agenda and a platform can thrust their propaganda on those who are easily swayed and who will readily succumb to mob mentality to commit violent actions.

    Gak indeed.

    By all means, start her up then. Inquiring minds want to know what the hell this has to do with the subject of this article.

    You are absolutely correct, but it is sooooo convenient for the extremists to pin outrageous acts on the opposing side. They don’t realize that there are some who are unconvinced by their shows of lie after lie.

    Coming from you that must be high praise.

    A double load = gibberish, and rubbish at the same stroke… now that is talent.

  • Anonymous

    What is your point? How many times do you have to be told that the perpetrator is mentally ill? So what do you want? The fact that she is using this as a political football is both ugly and reprehensible. If you think for a minute she didn’t come on the air to use this event and her “friend’s” misfortune and injury as anything but a ploy for her own purposes, you don’t know how these people think.

    First….Let me say this about Debbie Wasserman Schultz:
    ROFLMAO!!!!
    Other than just handing out deserved vile insults about her……I guess that’s it.

    Washermouth Schultz acts more someone who’s taken a bullet in the head than Giffords.

    Was Wasserman-Schultz shocked to see Gabby? That might explaion her hair.

  • david r

    I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen her look happy.  Didn’t look like the same person.

  • david r

    Something has to be done about Medicaid.  It is incredible how much money the states pay out.  And the Congress was unable to stand up to the big health insurers during the health care debate.  Again, we got a crappy bill.  We should have had a public option.  Get those ER and indigent care expenses out of the health insurance rate base.  But the big health insurers like the current arrangement much better– just soak the state.  We need a federal government clinic as a safety net for the poor, and ditch Obamacare.  The poor aren’t going to buy health insurance. even under the threat of the IRS. Unless repealed, the whole thing will be swimming in red ink in no time.

    Even her name sounds like a mortal disease.

    I don’t see any….but who could blame them if they did?
    Silly Rabbit.

    I said nothing of the perpetrator. I was making the point that people here should cut some slack with the political BS due to the fact that her friend was shot in the head.

    Now I am cynical and wouldn’t put it past her if she was playing political football. That is ugly and reprehensible. So my question to you is, why play by her rules then?
