MSNBC host apologizes for going off on Debbie Wasserman Schultz

MSNBC host Dylan Ratigan today apologized for a rather testy interview Friday with Debbie Wasserman Schultz. At one point, the Broward Democrat suggests Ratigan "could be your own guest" as he rattled on, answering his own question.

Unfortunately, much as I want to support W-S, I understand Dylan Ratigan's refusal to accept a gobblygook response from her.

This health bill is a disgrace, compared to what is really needed in America.

I'd have much more respect for the Democrats if they had 'sacked-up' and told us, "America, we'll accept a set-back before we let a watered-down Bill pass, simply so we can say, "Mission accomplished."

I understand the political damage this may have caused, but as far as I can see this Bill simply rewards the insurance companies while allowing the Dems' to claim victory over passing a weak "reform."

Although Mr. Ratigan's treatment of Ms. Schultz was unquestionably abrupt, I think it was improper to halve and re-assign his show to another time slot. A public apology would have sufficed in this matter; but, sadly the corporate chicken trust which controls the media had to exact its craven, petty punishment. Pusillanimous panderers that they are!

She is just getting a taste of her own medicine as usually DWS is her own interviewer; she simply ignores whatever questions are put to her and says what she wanted to say, always of course advocating hard-left socialist policies and an omnipotent Federal government.

Go Debbie! She handled herself quite well.
