We have no other spokesperson than Donna Brazile to represent

us on CNN? I think the DNC should have a pool of designated strong spokespeople on different topics and the programs need to call to arrange for a spokesperson to be sent to a program. I'm sick of mealy mouthed "me-toos" that try to present a Democratic position while praising * and his gang in alternate breaths.

heard around that they have canceled people that are too liberal...but it is alright to book coulter..

Brazille as a regular commentator. She is totally useless to the Democratic Party. At one point she was second in command at DLC I think. Now she uses the title of Democratic Strategy Consultant. The sorry thing about these consultants is that they get paid...regardless... It doesn't matter whether the advice they give is a winning strategy or a losing strategy...they still get paid. Of course they are of no value because they have no reason to care.

I am sure that CNN carefully picks the wimpiest, wonkiest, most malleable spineless Democrats they can find to fill the "blanks" in their interview panels. That way they can be sure that no points that might prove detrimental to Bush or the Repubs is ever spoken.

That's why she's on there. The CNN version of Alan Colmes.

what they're talking about and is passionate about it! She's not that person.

It's the choice of the networks and their hosts who they feel "represents" Democrats. The only host who gets decent Dem reps is K. Olbermann.

know what they are talking about.

smart AND funny. Humor REALLY helps.

spokespersons the Democratic Party has, there will always be those "weak sisters" (male and female) that the media will select.

and just so uncommitted to anything.

what a piss poor rep.

1. She is a poor spokesperson for the left.
2. She is a woman
3. She is African American

So now CNN cannot be accused of bias in any one of those areas.

The difference between Dean and Donna, FOLLOWING ONE ANOTHER on CNN, was absolutely disguating!!!!

He did such a terrific job, and she sounded like some little puppy in the corner!

Do the Dems send spokspeople to these shows, or are they EMPLOYED BY CNN as consultants? I think it's the later. If I'm right, I don't know how to change it!

I hate when they have her on cnn and Stephanopolis's show. I thought they were sending out dems to speak out for against the opposition. Why aren't the dems sending out someone with some fire because she is not the one.


Paul Begala tells it like it is, the dems are not really together as a party or something because it is not hard to find talking points. Do the dems want to win or what! Donna was on c-span the other day and she said she isn't a spokesperson for the party. Isn't she a democratic strategist, I hope someone with some fire will show up everywhere to counteract the b---!

campaign manager. Don't you remember how engaging Al was under her "handling"? So she's just lending her expertise to our cause...

:eyes:

Such as shame she's out there front and center as the face of the Democrats when she's a guest. Definitely does NOT represent me.

Lieberman, Brazille, Biden - that's all we get.

Edit: Smirk's approval among Dems is about 12%, and yet every Dem on TV gushes over him. Figure it out!.

Edit: and if I could type, I'd be more productive

She lacks all conviction: "Well, the fascists have a point, and so do the evangelicals. The democrats need to recognize the fascists." Besides that the woman is an idiot.

I was just listening to Sunday's washington journal where she was teamed with Cliff May and a caller said she was representing the Democratic party and she interrupted and said no she is not and to not put her in that box this a.m. WTF?

Adjunct Professor at Georgetown, Chair of the Democratic National Committee’s Voting Rights Institute, a fellow at Harvard’s Institute of Politics, a senior lecturer and adjunct professor at the University of Maryland. She is the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including Washingtonian Magazine’s 100 Most Powerful Women in Washington, D.C., Essence Magazine’s 50 Most Powerful Women in America and the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s Award for Political Achievement.

Donna is an intellectual powerhouse! Why is she such an insipid representative of our cause?

into the private area. Probably wants to be a lobbyist or wants to start a non-profit organization...something where she could have both Dems and Repubs as clients.

IMO, the sooner the better. With her credentials as listed buy acmejack, it seems that she could move on to a more lucrative field.

I wonder if she ever talks or listens to normal, working-class people with real everyday problems and concerns about the political process in general and the Democratic Party in specific?

Too many talk shows and dinners rubbing elbows only with the rich and powerful, of either party, and one tends to lose track as to what the rest of the country thinks.

she spoke about her dad on c-span

However, I think Aristotle said it best when he said "what is, is".

to have on democrats that make republicans look less awful.

we need talking brains. Brains with some passion and conviction. DB does not qualify based on any of the numerous cable tv appearances where I have seen here.
