Oh my God, this is awesome.
Not surprisingly, she shot an ad at Glenn Beck’s revival meeting.

“DAN GAFFNEY IS A PLANT BY THE CHRIS COONS & MIKE CASTLE CAMPAIGNS. THEY FEAR HER. SHE IS A TRUE CONSERVATIVE”-Matt Drudge
Talking loud and saying nothing. Yep, she’s a teabagger.
Oh, and it’s perfect that her campaign manager’s last name is “Moran.” If he could only find a way to bulk up her intellectual prowess, he’d be forever known as “Get a Brain” Moran.
Christine O’Donnell clearly graduated at the head of the class at the ‘Sarah Palin School of Campaigning’.

Todays Brand R is all about proving that politics doesn’t have to be show business for ugly people.
It can be for stupid people too.
I couldn’t last all the way. Her Palin-esque voice stopped at “I will pray for you.”
She should go a long way, especially when a loss is a win re Biden.
Oh, gosh.
Another Palin.. they’re multiplying. The stupidity is MULTIPLYING.
“YER ALL AFRAID OF HER!!!!!” -con peanut gallery
Oh my god, she’s terrible.
My god. She’s a fucking Palin clone. I only got halfway through and I had to stop it – it was going to take years off my life.
LMAO, he turned her mic down and she was still talking when he came back!
Holding candidates accountable for the BS they pull, what a concept
Quickly, get her on Hannity so she can “explain” how a loss is a win and how unfair the main stream media is!!
There’s been this bastardization of this fundamental American idea: the notion that any child could grow up to be one of our elected leaders is absolutely true in the very specific sense that no one is ruled out on the basis of religion, ethnicity, economics, age, or anything like that.
But what it doesn’t mean is that if you’re a fucking idiot, you’re qualified to do a very difficult job.
But I think that’s what the popularity of people like Palin and this woman are about, and it’s part and parcel with the appeal of reality TV. Nothing remarkable about you? Maybe you can be on a show anyway. Not too smart? That’s OK — do something crazy. Unaccomplished? Maybe people will take an interest in what you’re up to anyway. No real qualifications? Only jerks have those. Sort of ignorant? Just keep talking and no one will notice — whether it’s in a confessional booth or during a radio interview.
It’s about hope, isn’t it? Aspiration? Pretty much anyone can look at this woman and say, “Why can’t us?”. I mean, if she can be a senator, who can’t?
So yeah, this woman’s an idiot. I bet her computer is infested with spyware, and that she . But I don’t think there’s a lot of mystery about the appeal. And I know, I know — elitism, but not really. Most people are dumb and boring. I’m definitely the second and frequently the first. And it’s a natural human weakness to wish that you weren’t, or that it didn’t matter. That’s what this woman provides — consolation.
Well… I will grant her one thing. Running a campaign in 2010 while still working to retire debt from a 2008 campaign is *not* fiscally irresponsible, and I’m surprised that anyone would imply it might be. Sometimes the only way you *can* retire debt from an old campaign is by running a new one. That wasn’t a very good question. I don’t think anyone would have a snappy answer to that one.
(NB: I don’t know the details. For all I know, she has unpaid debts that *are* worthy of questioning. But campaigns cost money, and vendors know (or should know!) there’s a risk the campaign will run out of funds before paying the debt.)
Wait, Elaine from Seinfeld is running for office?
Whoa. Moar pictures of her, please.
Actually, that woman, despite being a knucklehead, is much smarter and more capable in the hot seat than Sarah Palin. I can’t imagine Palin lasting through 30 seconds of that kind of grilling. I suspect she would just hang up the phone. Or start crying. Remember, Palin was the woman who got flustered when Katie Couric politely asked her what magazines she read.
I agree with LongHairedWeirdo about the debt question. I was thinking the same thing. And it seemed like the woman had some good answers to some of the other questions too, but she kept stumbling over her dependence on talking points, wandering off into irrelevant verbal mazes and failing to effectively defend herself. I finally understood what she was saying about the undergraduate degree, and it was an adequate answer, but you had to dig through her word pile to find it. Her talking-point-driven babbling works against her.
And she completely failed to defend herself against the first question, primarily because there was no defense. She was lying to some out-of-state people because she assumed they wouldn’t know the county-by-county election results, and the interviewer called her on it and she tried to lie some more. Yes, you might get away with claiming that a 49% to 49% poll result was a “tie” in a sense, even though you got less votes, but what you said was that you won in two counties.
That’s right. If they’re easy on the eyes who gives a shit if she’s qualified? Natural order of things- wimmens is fer lookin’s.
Starbursts!
I remember her from many years ago when she was some abstinence advocate or something like that. She used to appear on Politically Incorrect when it was still on ABC, and she called herself a born again virgin, admitting she hadn’t gotten laid in ten or more years. Why she felt compelled to say this was beyond me.
She passed the Republican womens’ entry test with the answer: huh?.
She is an idiot.
Word’s clearly gone out from teabag central: when you’ve got no brain just yell your talking points loudly and repeatedly over whatever the interviewer is saying
Other brainless people won’t understand a word you say, but they’ll admire your moxie.
The best chance the Democrats have to hold on to Biden’s old seat is for this woman to beat Mike Castle.
Just thought I’d mention that.
Whoa. Moar pictures of her, please.
Pictures of Jessica Alba? No comment. Pictures of a complete idiot with fat cheeks who happens to favor the same political side as Dennis? Moar picturezz pleeeze!
Complete idiot, yeah, I’ll grant you that, mambo, but Jessica Alba’s cheeks aren’t fat and I never knew she favored the conservative side.
Are you sure about that?
The candidate is a complete mess but what is up with the interviewer’s excessive use of the word filibuster? I don’t think it means what he thinks it does.
OW, that was pretty painful. I had to give up about half way through.
Based on our experiences with every right-wing idiot from Reagan to Bush to Palin, this will make her even more popular with her supporters.
Actually, I really hope she wins the primary. It would make for an easy Dem pick-up in the Senate.
You’re doing it wrong, Oliver! Let’s support these lunatics!
Jaim, at this point how can you trust the electorate? Better get these crazies out ASAP. We can’t take a chance on a teabag Senate.
She polls much weaker than the establishment Republican in a general.
Just sayin’.
how can you trust the electorate?
That says it all.
And that’s why the Dems are going to get their asses handed to them in November 2010, and that is why Pres Obama is a one term President.
2 years, 4 months and 18 days. Thank God.
Journalism, bitches! Would that we had more of that.
A.
She is batsh*t crazy, and anyone that follows her blindly should have their f*cking head examined. Why will conservatives vote for anything that gives them a boner?
Wow. She’s a real piece of work. I
Alright, here’s a bit of info for all of you, hopefully it can keep you from voting for this woman. SHE KILLED HER CAT WITH NYQUILL AND ABANDONED ANOTHER CAT! SHES A CAT MURDERER!
she has weird teeth
Had there ever been a forceful push-back by Team Change from Day 1, freaks like this Rove-clone would never have been able to breathe air.
