One of the new stars of the Tea Party movement, an entertainer recently mistaken in Delaware for an actual politician, is Christine O'Donnell. Start here with O'Donnell, just because you have to:
Even Karl Rove thinks she is too far off the grid. This from a guy who thought Dick Cheney was fine.
Delaware is a state that has about one-third the population of Brooklyn. O'Donnell, running for the U.S. Senate, won her primary race with just over 30,000 votes. Even the Mets occasionally draw more people than that. No matter, she was suddenly a new drum majorette for the Tea Party.
Oh, sure. O'Donnell is a younger, peppier, more pleasant version of Sarah Palin, whom she channels in clothing, mannerisms, peppy rhetoric. So she and her 30,000 votes were supposed to be another example of the tidal wave of Tea Party fervor that is supposed to be sweeping America, even though her real campaign slogan should go something like this:
There are a lot of whack jobs in Congress, from both parties, and I aim to be one of them!
Or perhaps not.
Because on "Real Time" the other night, Bill Maher ran a clip from his old "Politically Incorrect" show in which O'Donnell voluntarily copped to the following:
"I dabbled into witchcraft - I never joined a coven. But I did, I did! I dabbled into witchcraft. I hung around with people who were doing these things. I'm not making this stuff up. I know what they told me to do.
"One of my first dates with a witch was on a satanic altar, and I didn't know it."
At this point, you wanted somebody to jump in and ask what she thought the altar was, the counter at White Castle?
The younger version of O'Donnell sure didn't stop there. She can talk the way Michael Phelps can swim. Apparently the only way to shut her up is to have video like this hit the Internet. As soon as it did, O'Donnell canceled both "Face the Nation" and "Fox News Sunday."
O'Donnell also volunteered this in the 1999 clip:
"I mean, there's a little blood and stuff like that. We went to a movie and then had a midnight picnic on a satanic altar."
Now last week, Rush Limbaugh lost his mind after he heard Rove criticizing O'Donnell, as if Rove had committed an act of high treason by thinking that O'Donnell was some low-common-denominator candidate, especially at a time when we're supposed to need every good Republican we can find to take back the country from the infidels.
The tax liens against O'Donnell in the past weren't supposed to matter, maybe because she's playing to an audience where anybody who doesn't pay taxes is viewed as a living saint. And her weird ideas about masturbation, and how condoms don't really prevent AIDS, weren't supposed to matter. Neither was the suggestion that she has confused campaign contributions with a cost-of-living stipend.
No, sir. O'Donnell was another spunky underdog running against big government and looked like an "All About Eve" version of Palin and anybody who attacked her had to be bad, bad, bad.
You wonder how all those who have fallen madly in love with her would feel if somebody in politics they truly hate, like Nancy Pelosi, admitted she was the one who once dabbled in witchcraft. Or if they'd simply decide that Pelosi being a witch was old news and move on.
You want to worry about this country and how it seems to be getting dumber by the minute? Worry that the problems with it are so profound, and have made people so desperate and crazy, that there are actually 30,000 people in Delaware who think that Christine O'Donnell and her beliefs - whatever they are - are some kind of solution.
Or that in New York a loudmouth like Carl Paladino, another big Tea Party guy with ideas about immigration and illegals that make Arizona's look enlightened, is suddenly a candidate for governor.
You actually want to see Paladino on a whistle-stop tour with that Arizona governor, Jan Brewer, at his side. You may have seen Brewer make a television appearance not long ago and wait 15 seconds for her next thought. Boxers get counted out after 10.
Paladino would have been delighted and jumped right in. Already you can tell he thinks having any kind of unspoken thought is a felony.
Paladino is supposed to be another part of the tidal wave of those set to take back the country, starting in November. And no worries if he stumbles along the way, the way poor Christine O'Donnell did this weekend. He can just say the devil made him do it.
Close.
(yikes that took me back to my childhood!)
I wondered if you’d recognize that character!
HA! You Rock!
Hey, have you seen “A Very Potter Musical” on YouTube?
It’s about the funniest parody of HP I’ve ever seen. The second one they did was lame but the first one is amazing!
Seriously, I can sing the theme song.
Now that’s scary!
HA! I love it!
The party and their bullhorns have definitely lost it.
They’ve become the crazy snoop lady in the neighborhood.
I bet they make lousy cookies too
The supreme LIER depends of peoples’ IGNORANCE.
He talks of tax rates as government “intrusion”, which we all understand, as he notes they are lower today than when Reagan came into office.
This is a total deflection from his truth and from the nations truth about government “intrusion”.
First, which would he prefer - the tax rates we have, or worse, or the tax rates we had before Reagan entered office. A fifth grade student who watches enough of even the media-biased major network news KNOWS Obama would prefer tax rates as high as when Reagan entered office, or higher; anything that is NOT as “low” as they are or lower.
Second, no matter what the tax rates were or what they are today, Obamcare and the “financial reform” legislation, together or on their own, amount to the largest “intrusion” of federal tyranny over the personal and economic life of the nation in seventy years.
EVERYTHING that comes out of Obama’s mouth represents some element of lies or ignorance, or both. Sometimes he is simply ignorant. Sometimes he is lying and depending on a majority of people to be ignorant.
But, let a conservative reveal that she briefly dabbled in the occult as high school student, but later totally rejected it, and she smeared as a dangerous nut.
Mike Lupica is a Wiccaphobe!
Lupica had better watch his mouth. I hope O’Donnl did more than dabble in Witch craft. Then maybe he Coons, Hrry Reid just might be sitting on a lilly pad sucking down Flies.
“Positively bewitching. Ahhh the puns, they just won’t stop.”
Mirror mirror on the wall. Who’s the fairest of them all.
Odonell quickly denounced her own activity in these realms, but the very occultist who espouse those tenents are relentless in denouncing her. I would be critical of her if I had not paid my $5 and seen "The Exorcist" or "Altered States" or "The Devil's Advocate" or a score of other movies which glorified the occult. Ms.Odonell has denounced those activities. Any water-witchers out there...well read about diviation in Deuteronomy18.
While her opponent extoles the virtue of bearded Marxists without so much as a ripple in the media her acts as a teenager dominate the lefters chatterers.
I do not believe Odonell is an occultist, or ever was an occultist, but the leftist Media has forced me to send her more money than I would have otherwise.
I do not take wicca lightly. I haves studied it for more than 45 years. I believe it is dangerous and is to be avoided. It seeems Ms. Odonell is avoiding it. Mr. Mars is simply showing us what he is made of.
Giggles!
If the NYDNs is against her, then that is the almost the highest recommendation
I can find!
OOOoooh!
(Anyone notice how popular VAMPIRE movies are???)
This has nothing to do with anything, but I heard it on the Dr. Demento show back in the mid '90's. It was actually very well done.
**************************
Hear, hear!
That Mikee is all FOR masterbation, shouldn’t surprise any of us.
Ever walk around BlockBuster and notice that the same stars who are ‘anti-gun’ are on covers of the videos HOLDING A GUN.?
As opposed to the idiots currently in office who are mistaken for actual politicians?
I agree. Remember how Hillary used to talk to dead people and, iirc, Nixon talked to portraits of presidents?
Mike! You get back in your high-chair!
