GOP Tweaks Tongue-Tied Debbie Wasserman Shultz Over 'Zero' Jobs Report

Apparently unable to spin the bad news on the jobs front, Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Shultz was called out today by Republicans.

Just five days ago, Wasserman Shultz boasted to the Sun-Sentinel: "We're no longer bleeding jobs. We've been adding jobs in the private sector for 17 straight months. We are on the upswing ever since President Obama took office.

But with today's Department of Labor announcement that the U.S. economy added zero jobs in August -- the first time that's happened since 1945 -- DWS & Co. had nothing to say.

For a change, the Republican National Committee invited the Fort Lauderdale Democrat to say her piece. "[We'd] like to hear what she has to say," Ryan Tronovitch said this morning.
