Chairwomen

What is it about DNC Chairs that they can't help but support Hillary Clinton in a contested primary (despite their claims to the contrary)?

No one looks good in the latest instance of DNC Chair and CNN pundit Donna Brazile sharing candidate questions with the Clinton campaign in advance of a town hall event. 

She got caught lying. So did Roland Martin, the author of the question in question who first denied sharing the question with "literally" no one, not even his "executive producer," only to have to admit that he did in fact share the question with his producer and several others on his production team. For such an accomplished journalist, Martin clearly doesn't understand the word "literally."

Of course, this is all par for the course for our national media mavens who try to give the appearance of objectivity and working at arms length of the officials they cover. But as the Brazile email makes clear, that simply isn't the case.
