Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Her name rolls off the tongue, like a cheap German schnapps.

Fortunately, her days as head of the Democratic National Committee are over, as she has resigned.

Thank you Wikileaks! Here is why, from the Washington Post:

Thousands of leaked emails have sealed the fate of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz's uneven five-plus-year tenure as DNC chair. 

Wasserman Schultz's resignation announcement Sunday afternoon comes as a bad situation just keeps getting worse -- and appears as though it might continue to do so. 

That's because WikiLeaks has so far released nearly 20,000 emails, new details are still being discovered, and there is still the prospect of additional, damaging emails coming to light. 

Many of the most damaging emails suggest the committee was actively trying to undermine Bernie Sanders's presidential campaign.

This is a woman who thought Obamacare was a "disparaging reference" to the President. It makes you wonder if she realized how that sounded? Then again, she was never the sharpest knife in the Democrats' drawer.

But back to Little Debbie's connection to this scandal (so far):

2) Wasserman Schultz calls top Sanders aide a "damn liar"... 

On May 17, after controversy erupted over the Nevada state Democratic convention and how fair the process was there, Wasserman Schultz herself took exception to Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver's defense of his candidate's supporters. 

"Damn liar," she wrote. "Particularly scummy that he barely acknowledges the violent and threatening behavior that occurred." 

3) ... and says Sanders has "no understanding" of the party 

That wasn't the only time Wasserman Schultz offered an unvarnished opinion about the Sanders operation. And in one late-April email, she even questioned Sanders's connection to the party. 

"Spoken like someone who has never been a member of the Democratic Party and has no understanding of what we do," she said in response to a Politico story about Sanders saying the party hadn't been fair to him. 

Sanders, for what it's worth, wasn't a Democrat before entering the Democratic primary. He caucused with the party but has long been an independent. 

In that way, Wasserman Schultz's comments could be read simply as her defending her party; Sanders was attacking the party, after all. But her comment also suggests a particularly dim view of Sanders that she didn't feel the need to obscure in conversations with other DNC staff.

In Debbie's defense, party heads tend to be political cheerleaders for their parties. While there is nothing wrong with cheering for the candidates AFTER they have been selected, they should never take sides during the primaries, even in private. This was Debbie's failing, and her downfall.

This would make an awesome Shakespearean tragedy, except Debbie has no redeeming virtues. Think of her as a King Lear who gets struck by lightning in Act III. However, in this King Lear, it was only Lear who betrayed himself.
