Filed in National by on September 6, 2010 1 Comment

Probably some liberal media conspiracy at work, but the NYT decided to treat O’Donnell like an actual candidate. “Even if she should have money problems,” (a supporter) Mrs. Beams said later, “I don’t think there’s too many in this world that hasn’t had money problems.” Ms. O’Donnell has converted the attacks into a talking point.

With Terrell Owens, Chad Ochocinco and the rookies Jordan Shipley and Jermaine Gresham, quarterback Carson Palmer only needs to put the ball in the air and let someone run underneath it.

“I’m Gonna Pop A Cap In That Bitch’s Ass”  – Mike Castle

I’m paraphrasing, but Castle has been forced to go all wingnut, and no matter what happens, that is good news for Chris Coons. I had been thinking that I could not root for Crazy Christine, but I’ve reconsidered. Here is why…
