#1 Don't let her over-gelled hairstyle fool you, Deb is a true Ruling Class Elite. She's been riding roughshod over peoples lives since she was 26. She knows what's good for you, and she's not afraid to crack some skulls to prove it.

Likes: Central Planning, making false accusations, groupthink, and deep-fried Snickers.
Dislikes: Mean people aka Non-Liberal/Progressives, the unborn, 2nd Amendment, and self-reliant people.

Her words of wisdom: Speak derogatorily and carry a cute smile; you will go far.

#2 Wasserman Schultz, Axelrod, Rob Dead Fish.... there really is a pattern.

#3 Nothing in today's hard copy WaPo or NYTimes about this (at least the editions I have).

Most important of all will be how the Florida dailies and the NY Jewish weeklies play this because the Jewish population of Florida reads these and, in Florida, if Obama loses even 25% of the Jewish vote, he almost certainly loses Florida.

#4 The Jewish Telegraph Agency has the story, lord garth, so it should hit the next issue of the local weeklies.

CHAFRLOTTE, N.C. (JTA) -- Israel's ambassador to Washington, Michael Oren, "categorically denied" that he specified the Republican Party when he described as harmful making Israel a partisan issue.

"I categorically deny that I ever characterized Republican policies as harmful to Israel," Oren said in a statement emailed Tuesday to reporters. "Bipartisan support is a paramount national interest for Israel, and we have great friends on both sides of the aisle."

Rep. Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), in a training session Monday for Jewish activists at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., said Republican efforts to depict President Obama as insufficiently pro-Israel were a salve to those who longed for a wedge between Israel and its most powerful ally.

"We know, and Ive heard no less than Ambassador Michael Oren say this, that what the Republicans are doing is dangerous for Israel," she said.

Oren has repeatedly said attempts to make Israel a partisan issue are detrimental to the bipartisan support the Jewish state has for years enjoyed, but he has never singled out one party as more responsible than the other for promoting such divisions.

#5 And Politico, not exactly a conservative site, if I understand correctly, has the entire back and forth, including Congresswoman Wasserman Schultz's claim that she was deliberately misquoted and a link to the Washington Examiner video of her saying exactly what was claimed.

#6 Fox News has the back and forth, but misses the key link to the original Examiner video.

#7 as of a few minutes ago both Haaretz and JeruPost have the story about the change in the Dem platform but neither have the story on the Wasserman-Schultz lie

so we'll see

a lot may also depend on the coverage on local Florida TV news

#8 Democratic platform... "Incomplete".

Fox just announced the DNC will restore the God and Jerusalem language to the platform. Cock-up soon to be repaired.

#9 The reversal of the platform and the boos upon the adoption of the amendment should guarantee coverage in the dailies. Even the WaPo and NYTimes will now be forced to mention it - even if they don't do it honestly.
