Democrats: We Have Met The Enemy and He is Us . . . .

Esquire's Charles Pierce and The Gadfly must have been conjoined twins who were separated at birth.

Every time The Gadfly thinks he has come up with a blog post that he believes is quite relevant to the current monkeyshines going on in the sewer pit that is right wing politics, Pierce beats The Gadfly to it.

Observe:

I don't have much use for Debbie Wasserman Schultz as a chairperson of the Democratic National Committee. She strikes me as rather a twit, actually. (She showed up at one of the Republican primary debates in New Hampshire last time around to spin for the Democrats and I believe had to be fastened to the floor lest she float away.) Lord knows, she's a cut above obvious anagram Reince Priebus on the other side, Priebus at the moment recovering from a sudden attack of invisibility. But DWS, as she's known, haz a sad because Alan Grayson compared the Tea Party to the Klan in a mailing, and now she apparently has signed onto the suddenly popular political philosophy of Dean Vernon Wormer of Faber College.

NO FUN OF ANY KIND!

"Obviously I am disappointed in the use of that imagery. Both sides need to dial back that kind of rhetoric and look to bring more civility into politics," Wasserman Schultz said in a statement.

Oh, put a fking sock in it.  Pro tip, DWS: if your "disappointment" and deep love of "civility" puts you on the same side of a partisan issue with a nutball like Allen West, it is time to re-evaluate.

No shit Charlie.  In fact, The Gadfly would be inclined to take that admonition one step further and tell Ms. Schultz to put a big fucking sweat soggy, toe-jam encrusted sock in it.  Oh - and damn you Pierce for for the National Lampoon's Animal House reference - that one caught The Gadfly completely off guard and the result was a guffaw induced ruptured spleen.

But you know - it is precisely because of gutless concern trolls like Debbie Wasserman Schultz, that toward the latter half of Baby Bush's drunk driving rampage through the nation's countryside, The Gadfly unceremoniously ditched his two decades old status as a registered voting Democrat in favor of independent status.  Oh sure - The Gadfly still votes probably 80-90% straight Dem ticket, but it's only because the quality of the GOP candidates is so god-awfully atrocious, there really isn't much choice other than pulling the lever while wearing a gas mask for the Dem you dislike just a bit less than the other turd candidate.

And The Gadfly just has to uproariously laugh at this steaming pile of centrist codswallop that comprised the press statement which Schultz issued in response to Congressman Alan Grayson's swipe at the Tea Party which rightly compared their current popularity to the KKK:

"Obviously I am disappointed in the use of that imagery. Both sides need to dial back that kind of rhetoric and look to bring more civility into politics,"

Civility in politics??  Oh really Debbie??  So what you are saying is that you put Grayson's truthful and provable statements on the same level as shit like this:

or this:

or this:

Fuck you Debbie.  Stick to your job as DNC Chairwoman of sucking up to and greasing the palms of the big business interests and leave the job of fist fighting the Teahadist boors to those of us who actually have the inclination and stomach for such a distasteful mission.
