Read the Huffington Post story here: Time for These Two Democrats to Go
Mr. Moyers and Michael Winship start with a few paragraphs teasing that there are two Democrats that are doing the country and HRC no favors by being in the spotlight.
They then make it explicit:
No, she should come right out and ask for the resignations of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Democratic National Committee Chair — and Florida congresswoman — Debbie Wasserman Schultz. In one masterstroke, she could separate herself from two of the most prominent of all corporate Democratic elitists.
Each is a Clinton disciple and devotee, each has profited mightily from the association and each represents all that is wrong with a Democratic Party that in the pursuit of money from rich donors and powerful corporations has abandoned those it once so proudly represented — working men and women.
The rest of the story details the major sins of each. About Rahm Emanuel:
Only after his re-election was the cover-up of the [Laquan McDonald] murder revealed. In [Rick] Pearlstein’s words, “Given that he surely would not have been reelected had any of this come out before the balloting, a recent poll showed that only 17 percent of Chicagoans believe him. And a majority of Chicagoans now think he should resign.”
They then take DWS to task; after a few words describing her manipulation of the debate schedule, they spent a few paragraphs detailing her efforts to weaken the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s effort to create national standards for the payday-lending industry.
The (no pun intended) money quote:
No wonder radio host and financial guru Dave Ramsey describes the payday loan business, which loans $38.5 billion a year, as “scum-sucking, bottom-feeding predatory people who have no moral restraint.” The very people, it must be acknowledged, who now have an ally in the chair of the Democratic National Committee, who has so engineered the rules of the current Democratic primary process so as to virtually assure her unlimited access to a Clinton White House where she can walk in freely to press the case for her, ahem, “scum-sucking, bottom-feeding predatory” donors and pals.
