O’Donnell to Run for President.

And Mike Matthews just fainted with dreams of being the First First Gentleman. But no, not our favorite local wingnut Christine O’Donnell.

Ed O’Donnell. Who? Precisely.

WDEL is currently running a story about a little known perennial candidate named Ed O’Donnell, who just “announced” that he is running for the Patriot Party’s (what?) nomination for President in 2012. Why the early start?

O’Donnell says one reason he’s starting his Presidential run now is that he wants to be ready in case the US government collapses like the Roman and British Empires and the former Soviet Union.

But, if the country collapses, will we have an election to get ready for in 2012? Just a minor detail I think Mr. O’Donnell overlooks. I digress. I have no idea who O’Donnell is. I have no idea what the Patriot Party is, and that is not unusual since there are hundreds of small crazy fringe third parties. So I googled O’Donnell. I found information on Rosie O’Donnell, which was quite unfortunate, but not much on an alleged presidential candidate named Ed O’Donnell, which I found quite odd, since, after all, WDEL has O’Donnell’s announcement as a top news story.

But then I found this interview with the Dartmouth University Press in 2004, when the prestigious candidate O’Donnell ran for the fifth time. You must read it in its entirety, because it is comedy gold. Perhaps that is where WDEL is going with its story, for I must confess I have only read the story and not listened to it on the radio.

Go below the fold for some excerpts. After reading it, I am convinced Ed O’Donnell is Liz Allen:

Local Elections.

All politics is local. Yet, your average Delawarean probably cannot name their state Representative or Senator. They definitely cannot name their County Councilman. Sure, they can name their President, their…
