[quote=Allan from Fallbrook][quote=eavesdropper][quote=Allan from Fallbrook] O’Donnell is a lunatic moron. [/quote]
There you go again, automatically jumping to conclusions. Do you have any facts to back up your statement? Just because she’s pretty doesn’t mean she’s not smart. Sarah Palin could tell you that.
Alan, you have to be more careful about saying these things. You’re not going to have anyone to defend you when you go before the death panels one day.[/quote]
Eavesdropper: I can only hope that you’re kidding about O’Donnell. As far as proof or facts, well, I’ll just let her keep speaking and that should suffice to make my point for me.
I know that there are plenty of whack-a-doos in office and from both parties, but she’s taking this to a whole new level. Palin is thick, of that there is no doubt, but its sort of a run-of-the-mill obtuseness. O’Donnell is bugshit crazy and throws out looney crap without surcease (I know you like a little literary porn with your nightly agitprop).
I was going to make an ungentlemanly comment about Palin, the death panels and corporal punishment, but I know you’re a lady, so I’ll aver.[/quote]
Alan, you wound me with your “only hope that you’re kidding” remark, but I can’t stay mad at you for long when you’re tossing off words like “surcease” and “agitprop”. In the words and tenor of J.P. Richardson, you know-ow-ow what I like.
Seriously, I agree with your evaluation of O’Donnell. Even more disturbing than the fact that tens of thousands of supposedly competent adults voted for her, and that millions of US citizens are avidly supporting her, is the way in which the media is treating her a like serious candidate. Yes, she is a serious candidate in that her name will be on the ballot and that she may well be the next United States senator from the State of Delaware. But to the journalists, publishers, pundits, and news editors out there: please, please, please, stop providing serious commentary on the crazy shit she is saying, and stop cutting her all kinds of slack for the crazy shit she is pulling. If Mike Castle or Joe Biden or even the dreaded Nancy Pelosi had ever come up with some of the stuff O’Donnell’s been passing out on the campaign trail, the ridicule by the media would have been…yes, without surcease. And her decision to cut herself off from the national media? Like Palin, she doesn’t have the basic skills and intelligence to deal with the media, but the media has given her a total break on this decision, and is even encouraging it (as seen by news editors’ treatment of Palin’s “Twits” like they were State of the Union addresses).
C’mon, you people in the media are SUPPOSED to be the “smart guys”. Please provide us with some evidence of that.
