Anyone know of "Democratic strategist" Laura Schwartz's Credentials??

[SoCalDemGrrl]

She just appeared on the O'Leilly Factor and was billed as a "Democratic Strategist" but for the life of

me she sounded as Republican as they come.

They were speaking about a comment Rosie O'Donnell made on "The View" where Rosie stated that Christian Wacko

fundies could be as dangerous as Muslin fundies and little Miss Schwartz completely agreed with O'Leilly that

O'Donnell should be chastised and that this was another example of the continuing attacks against Christians in

this country.


WHO IS THIS BROAD??? I certainly don't want her speaking for me or my party.

7. Basically, she was a napkin folder for the Clinton White House.

I'm series!!!1! She was in charge of staging events. Check out her bio from the link you posted:

"Former Special Assistant to the President and The White House Director of Events for the Clinton Administration, Laura created and executed more than 600 White House Events on it's 18 acres including State Arrival Ceremonies and Dinners, America's Millennium Celebration, NATO's 50th Anniversary, The UN Millennium Summit, Olympic Celebrations, and of course countless press conferences, bill signings and message events. While producing the President on the world stage every day, leaving no room for error, Laura demonstrated the Presidency's ability to inspire a nation and the world through powerful events.

"Today, Laura is a frequent commentator on national politics and its direct impact on the common citizen by defining the line between rhetoric and reality. She also discusses political strategy and the skill of our politicians in finding the right message for their intended audience and its delivery through both high and low profile events. Lecturing at colleges and universities Laura shares "The Power of Your Political Voice" with students and leaders of tomorrow."

4. I've actually met her before.

I think she did advance work for Clinton at one point. Something along those lines. Then she was doing some stuff for Clark's campaign in 2004 mostly in Chicago I think (advance work). I am not sure how she is a "strategist." She is attractive so that probably helps to get her on TV.

5. I saw her labeled as a Clinton strategist

on one show, she is hot, and that is probably her biggest drawing card. It looks like she was a party planner for Bill Clinton, from a google search.

8. She is pretty good looking--Bet Bill liked that.

Maybe Fox can put Monica on as a Democratic strategist next.

9. Strategists have no real credentials except in conservative

circles. That should be evident by now.

10. She's probably some

DINO/DLC apologist. I've heard her speak before and she's as DINO as they come.

It's these "spokespeople" that get on the news and make every Democrat look bad. I can't stand it. It' needs to stop. NOW. Aren't there any Democrats we can send out to speak for us that aren't DINOs????????

Also.... "strategist"? Any campaign that hires this woman will be run into the ground.

11. Who knows?

I have no idea what that term means. Can any DUer show up on TV as a "Democratic strategist"?

12. To be a real "Democratic Strategist" you have to play *chess*

Plain old DUers tend to stick to checkers.

13. What is a Democratic strategist?

I see people all of the time on these programs who claim to be Democratic strategists but they never seem to ever be employed by any Democratic campaign.

Maybe all it takes to be a Democratic strategist is to be a Democrat who successfully strategizes how to get themselves on television. :-)
