Dukakis Aide Quits; Remarks Are Disavowed

A Democratic presidential campaign official resigned Thursday after the Dukakis campaign disavowed her comment that "George Bush owes it to the American people to fess up" about a rumor concerning an extramarital affair that rippled through Wall Street on Wednesday.

Dukakis personally apologized to Bush for the remarks, made by deputy field director Donna Brazile, when the two candidates met Thursday night in New York for the Catholic archdiocese's annual fund-raising dinner.

Brazile told reporters accompanying the Democratic candidate that "the American people have every right to know if Barbara Bush will share that bed with him in the White House."

1. People should ask themselves why Donna hates Hillary so much

Dig deep and the answers will come.

2. I honestly don't know how she continued to get

work for Democrats after 2000.

She showed who she was so many times but yet no one believed it?

3. I've always wondered why it's always the same people running Democratic campaigns.

I mean, how many second chances did Bob Shrun get to lose Presidential campaigns?

4. Brazile stepped in it big time with this book, but remember, Gore actually won in 2000.

She ran his campaign — the first of the two out of four stolen presidential races since 2000.

5. I wonder how she made it back to the upper echelons of a national campaign again?

She was an advisor to Bill Clinton's campaign in '92 and '96.

6. If DU existed in 1988, would this comment be considered a strike against her? n/m

7. Hmmm. October 1988. Gary Hart had been knocked out of the primaries months earlier...

...when his infidelity was revealed. Frankly, the country might have been better off if Dukakis had made an issue of Bush's philandering. So what's your point?

[UTUSN]

8. Did she take credit for astutely identifying at the time what was going wrong?!1

The way she now claims to have been on top of everything wrong in 2017, even having recommended acupuncture to Hillary two days before she fainted.
