There's a surprise...
« on: September 20, 2010, 10:31:28 PM »
Well, maybe not a surprise to all of us.

Quote
DOVER, Del. – Some members of a GOP establishment that once shunned tea party favorite Christine O'Donnell are getting behind her now that she has won the Republican Senate primary, offering help in the form of cash and experienced staffers.

EDIT:  Now that I think about it, I am a bit surprised about this story.  Not surprised that the GOP insider/establishment people are starting to help out O'Donnell, but surprised that the AP would go out of their way to say so.

Not even close. On Fox this morning, the only political story I heard for 15 minutes was polling data about how Odonnel isn't fit to be dog catcher.

Judging by its current membership, the qualifications to be a Senator are less stringent than those for becoming a dog catcher.

Depends - is Karl Rove hopping around a lily pad and croaking "Ribbit! Ribbit!" ?

(Hmmm . . . if O'Donnell wins, will they have to hire Dr. Bombay to staff the Senate infirmary?)

True enough. Even La Cosa Nostra has higher standards. Mess around with somebody's wife and you may get killed. In the Senate that seems to be a job requirement.

I don't know; the idea of O'Donell turning certain some most members of the Senate into frogs has great appeal.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
