Welcome to your Monday open thread. My brother is visiting for a few days, so I won’t be around much. Play among yourselves.
Christine O’Donnell won another award! She’s already won the most expensive Delaware race ever award but this one is from Yale. (You know that place she was proud to tell us she didn’t attend.)
Christine O’Donnell’s TV ad declaration “I’m not a witch” during her U.S. Senate campaign topped this year’s best quotes, according to a Yale University librarian.
O’Donnell’s quote is cited by Fred Shapiro, associate librarian at Yale Law School, who released his fifth annual list of the most notable quotations of the year. In the ad, O’Donnell was responding to reports of her revelations that she had dabbled in witchcraft years ago.
“It was such a remarkable unconventional quote to be a part of the political discourse,” Shapiro said.
The quote by O’Donnell, a tea party favorite running in Delaware, tied for first place with “I’d like my life back,” the lament made in May by BP’s CEO Tony Hayward after the worst offshore oil spill in U.S. history.
Congrats Christine! She actually made the list twice – she was also #9 for her First Amendment gaffe. We’re certainly looking forward to your 2012 race against Tom Carper.
Fareed Zakaria did a nice takedown of Glenn Beck’s nonsense that 10% of all Muslims are terrorists. He ends up using Glenn Beck’s logic to prove that Glenn Beck is a terrorist.
Seriously, how long until Beck has a complete meltdown live on TV? He just keeps getting nuttier. Last week he announced the revolution had begun. We’re still waiting to find out what that is.
