Nevadans didn’t have the most exciting choices for Senate this year. It was either jello-spined Harry Reid or crazy-as-a-loon Sharron Angle. A new article shows that Angle is even crazier than we thought.
—-Late in the campaign, during a private meet and greet, Angle was asked about Social Security privatization. She had previously used Chile’s Augusto Pinochet’s experiment as an example, but had not used it since her staff shut her down. But that day, with no media there, saying her staff had warned her not to use it, she raised the Chile example again and added, “Sometimes dictators have good ideas.” Her staff fretted the line would get out. It did not. Until now.
—-Team Angle put campaign volunteers through a three-hour indoctrination. Included was an instruction of what to do if anyone came into the office who looked like a Democrat, a Reid supporter or a member of the media — they all look alike! — and that order was to dial a certain extension in front of the interloper and say, “It’s time to water the plants.” Sounds like Don Adams might have been on the other end of the line. You can’t make this stuff up, folks.
Dictators have good ideas!?!?! Every Nevadan that voted for Sharron Angle should be cringing in embarrassment. I wonder, is Sharron Angle Nevada’s Christine O’Donnell? I wonder if she’ll take on the wounded John Ensign in the Republican 2012 primary. That would be fun!
