Lemonade, Sharron Angle Style

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. That’s Sharron Angle’s advice:

“I think that two wrongs don’t make a right. And I have been in the situation of counseling young girls, not 13 but 15, who have had very at risk, difficult pregnancies. And my counsel was to look for some alternatives, which they did. And they found that they had made what was really a lemon situation into lemonade.”

— Nevada U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle (R), quoted by the Huffington Post, on advising a young girl raped by her father against seeking an abortion.

After all, the rapist is just doing God’s work, right, Sharron?

What keeps Sharron Angle up at night, railing against the injustice of this world?

Looks like Sharron Angle has now had her ultimate Rand Paul moment: During a radio appearance she labeled the $20 billion BP escrow fund secured by the White House as a “slush fund.”

Angle also seemed to agree with a caller who flatly described the fund as extortion, and added: “Government shouldn’t be doing that to a private company.” For good measure, she said Dems are exploiting the crisis to push energy reform and are following “Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.”

Angle made the claims on the Alan Stock show late yesterday. A caller said that Obama had “basically extorted $20 billion from a private company,” and asked Angle what she thought of “the $20 billion slush fund.”

“Government shouldn’t be doing that to a private company,” Angle replied. “And I think you named it clearly: It’s a slush fund.”

BP should make lemonade. It’s part of God’s plan.
