Friday Open Thread [11.13.2015]

It's starting to get nasty! Trump also went after Carson yesterday for being a pathological liar, which is correct. Fiorina, also a pathological liar, defending her fellow pathological liar by saying on Facebook:
“Donald, sorry, I’ve got to interrupt again. You would know something about pathological. How was that meeting with Putin? Or Wharton? Or your self funded campaign? Anyone can turn a multi-million dollar inheritance into more money, but all the money in the world won’t make you as smart as Ben Carson.”
And she is also right. Donald does lie as well, creating meetings with world leaders out of whole cloth, lying about self funding his campaign. He was born with a silver spoon. The only thing Carly gets wrong is this: Ben Carson is not smart.
Conspiracy Christine.

Conspiracy Christine.

Here at Delaware Liberal, we will always have a soft spot in our hearts for Christine O'Donnell. Her primary victory over Mike Castle not only delivered a Senate seat to the blue team when it was going to go red, but it also gave DL our highest traffic numbers ever for a few months. So we continue to keep tabs on Ms. O'Donnell. And as you know, she is currently being sued by the FEC for using her campaign donations to pay her personal rent at her Greenville townhouse during the campaign. She hired a lawyer to defend her, but then stop paying that lawyer. Lawyers like to get paid for the work they do, and when they don't get paid, we stop doing work. Of course, as a Republican, Christine looked upon her lawyer as a servant/employee that was indentured to her, no matter if she paid him or not. So she was surprised when said lawyer moved to withdraw from representing her, and further surprised when the motion was granted. But somehow, she received an email between her former counsel and opposing counsel for the FEC, and now she thinks there is some huge conspiracy against her.

(Former Blogger) Dave Burris Now Senate GOP Chief of Staff

I don't know what a Chief of Staff does. (Gives out raises to insiders?) I know Dave from the early days of blogging, and I will say this much - I like him. He is a nice guy. Good family man, upright citizen who wants the best for his community. A throw back. Of course he has a head full of nonsense regarding "right to work" and eliminating the estate tax being beneficial for society - but I could chalk that up to his being raised by people with heads full of nonsense. My point is that this feels like a step in the right direction for the DE GOP. Burris doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would put defunding Planned Parenthood on a list of priorities.

MOT’s Emu hits the big time

Before the internet only a handful of neighbors would have known about Eddie (since captured).   Now with Facebook, the exploits of Middeltown's rogue Emu can be enjoyed by the world. …
