The stupid - it burns!!!!

Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz on FOX News Sunday
The Bill Burton in question was the Deputy Press Secretary in Obama's White House who left in February of 2011. From NBC News - Feb 16, 2011:
Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton to leave White House
Deputy White House Press Secretary Bill Burton, who was a finalist for the job vacated by Robert Gibbs last week, has told friends he is leaving the administration to start a new political consulting firm.

In an email, Burton said he is going to partner with another White House aide, Sean Sweeney, to "start a firm focused on political and strategic consulting."

He said there would more information about the new venture forthcoming, "once we figure out things like name, location and where one buys those comfy ergonomic office chairs."
His organization of course is Priorities USA -- the SuperPAC that authored the debunked Joe Soptic / Wife dies from Cancer advertisement. Burton was asked about that advertisement and had these words. From Andrea Mitchell at MSNBC -- hat tip Real Clear Politics:
ANDREA MITCHELL, MSNBC: What about the fact that Mitt Romney left Bain Capital before this woman ended up being fired? She had other health insurance, there was a gap between when she was fired and when she was diagnosed. There are just so many flaws in the premise of that ad.

BILL BURTON, PRIORITIES USA: No. There's not one fact in that ad that is wrong. I would challenge you to find one. All the facts in that ad are absolutely accurate. When that company went bankrupt, Mitt Romney was the Chairman, CEO, and sole shareholder of Bain. And yeah, I think most Americans would agree that you own the responsibility for what your company is doing if you're the CEO.
Sheesh -- when MSNBC calls you out, it has to be a real stinker. Their bias for the left is legendary. Posted by DaveH at August 13, 2012 12:25 PM
