In the book 1984, George Orwell wrote about the "two minutes of hate" in which the people would gather in front of their TV monitors (which were two way and were everywhere) and yell and scream at the image of Emanuel Goldstein, their hated enemy. Somehow, the folks in power reasoned that this would be cathartic and allow them to blow off steam. It may have worked in the book, but every time I hear the name of or see this person on TV it is like I am being water-boarded. The Queen of the World of Odious, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, opines with a voice that can only remind one of fingernails on a chalk board about why all of our problems today are George Bush's fault, any why Barack Obama is the only solution. Orwell was indeed a visionary. Now it is up to me to convert in the same simplistic Liberal manner, all things wrong into one object of hate. Debby is indeed, in this respect, providing public service.
