Judging by her words yesterday -- the first after avoiding the public for three days -- Schmidt doesn't understand what the fuss is about, and sees herself more as victim than villain. "I am amazed at what a national story this has become," she said in a statement. "I have been attacked very personally, continuously since Friday evening."
Somebody get this woman a violin.
ETA: Digby found something cool.
just a couple of months ago, Schmidt said this in her first remarks before the House:(Mrs. SCHMIDT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)
Honorable people can certainly agree to disagree. However, here today I accept a second oath. I pledge to walk in the shoes of my colleagues and refrain from name-calling or the questioning of character. It is easy to quickly sink to the lowest form of political debate. Harsh words often lead to headlines, but walking this path is not a victimless crime. This great House pays the price.
It is easy, isn't it?
