On defensive, Democrats scurry to distance themselves from Rosen's denigrating remarks and fail

That is hilarious, coming from the woman who was being advised by Hilary Rosen when she first uttered the absurd “war on women” phrase.

Irony, thy name is Debbie Wasserman Schultz. She’s not the only Democrat trying to scurry away from Rosen’s remarks. And failing. Even the big guns like Michelle Obama were brought out.

Of course, she failed to mention that her husband is empathetic toward mothers only because they’ve been “punished with babies” and all.

Yep. Wasserman Schultz’s attempt at distancing is late. Obama campaign staffers got the ball rolling earlier.

I could not disagree with Hilary Rosen any more strongly. Her comments were wrong and family should be off limits. She should apologize.

There are frantic attempts to spin away Rosen’s advisor status as well.

Oh, really? Then why has she visited the White House thirty-five times?

Nothing yet from Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. But, of course, she thinks moms just sit at home and bake cookies.

Press Secretary Carney is spinning away, however.

Best response to the incredibly transparent attempts by Democrats to disavow Hilary Rosen?

Bingo.
