Wasserman Schultz scoffs at Palin

Sarah Palin told ABC that Barack Obama may regret not having picked Hillary Clinton as his running mate: “I think he’s regretting not picking her now, I do,” Palin said. “What, what determination, and grit, and even grace through some tough shots that were fired her way, she handled those well.”

U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz responds: "Sarah Palin should spare us the phony sentiment and respect.  Governor Palin accused Senator Clinton of whining and John McCain laughed when a questioner referred to her by using a demeaning expletive.   John McCain and Sarah Palin represent no meaningful change, just the same failed  policies and same divisive, demeaning politics that has devastated the middle class.”
