Autoeroticism took a big hit tonight, as former abstinence counselor, Christine O’Donnell knocked over Mike Castle who was comfortably on his way to capturing Vice President Joe Biden’s former Delaware Senate seat for the Republicans.
She’s a cutie: A scrubbed up and perky born-again Catholic, one of those rare, extremist winger women on Fox News who isn’t blonde. She's definitely talk radio and Fox News' choice in the race.Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, the NRA, Glenn Beck, Sen. Jim DeMint, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, Delaware teaparty baggers, and the Family Research Council endorsed O'Donnell. National tea party mogul "Dick" Armey, the National Republican Senatorial Committee and Republicans who know stuff about politics did not.
Karl Rove said almost immediately on the Hannity teevee show:
“We were looking at eight to nine seats in the Senate. We’re now looking at seven to eight. This is not a race we’re going to be able to win.”
As Castle conceded, the respected Rothenberg Political Report, which rates congressional races, moved the Delaware Senate race to "lean Democrat," from its "lean Republican."
Cracks in the conservative movement and the GOP started riving wider. After Rove bashed O’Donnell, Michelle Malkin called Rove "an establishment Beltway strategist" and "an effete sore loser."
Looking at a 25% deficit in her polling with the Democratic candidate, national and local Republicans worked very hard to beat her, but as in other races the goofballs prevailed. There will be little party money for the geeky gal.
O'Donnell’s a perennial candidate with a sleazy financial past who's a gaffe machine with wiggy views about who should sleep with whom and how. As founder of the Savior's Alliance for Lifting the Truth (SALT) she worked hard for years against The Gay, pornography, diddling, extramarital sex, felching, frottage, and abortion.
She's so anti-sex she's warned that masturbation is sinful, though she's dodged questions as to how she'd legislate against the practice once in the US Senate.
Like Sharron Angle, her doppelgänger in Nevada, O'Donnell avoids reporters who ask hard questions.
The tea party winger in New Hampshire beat the supposedly more electable Republican as well, enabling the Democrat to an easier path to the Senate.
This should be fun to watch... and though we would love to see the chaos of a Christine O'Donnell and a Sharron Angle trying to operate in the Senate Republican Caucus, we'll probably have to be satisfied watching their antics leading up to November 8.
Felching??? Frottage???And you can get cups and tshirts!!!!
I am in awe Michael. In absolute awe. The breadth of your knowledge is remarkable. Fucking remarkable.
(running those two through the spell checker about choked the computer)

I watched her lengthy acceptance speech and she is going for the Younger Palin Sister angle, complete with several "You Betcha"s, thumbs up and winks. Fascinating.

This is interesting. It's almost as though Sarah PALIN has found a way to clone herself for political positions around the Nation. However, what the Republican cause likely doesn't fully realize is that the phrase "shooting oneself in the foot" is apropos here. The tea party movement and Ms PALIN especially is causing a fractionalization within the party that from their standpoint will prove to have at least diminished and possibly damaged the biggest opportunity they've had in a while. All that this Tea movement is proving is that yes, sometimes even politicians can be good looking. Not too unlike the attractive sports reporter currently in the need, she (Christine O'Donnell) garners attention (which is what she was after) bit she'll soon be forgotten as we get down to serious discussion of electability. But, hey in the interim it makes for good talk show fodder, so I guess it ain't all bad. Be interesting to see Dave Ross's call on this.

If the Republican Party have hit 'bottom' then no doubt the fall was broken by the Democratic Party firmly on terra firma.
In regards to how many bottom feeders, counting the Twig Truthers I see posting on Blather I count at least one: Sparky.

Sorry Ms "I've seen (or tried) everything" joanie, I don't doubt that you are an expert on such things, but I had never heard of felching nor known anybody that has ever done (well admitted doing it) it.
You can just keep that practice amongst you and your friends. Does not appeal to me in the least, either shipping or receiving.
Posted by: Chucks | September 15, 2010 at 08:16 AM
I've known about felching for years - it's very common in the gay male community, and the poor community of Felch Mountain, Michigan has become regrettably notorious. But I have to admit I have never, ever understood the appeal.
Posted by: Pete | September 15, 2010 at 09:57 AM
Joanie is right in her predection that the Democrats willhold the House and maybe even pick up a Senate Seat.
This President has held the line by keeping the deficit at a 13.5 Trillion Deficit and given th e people a Health care Plan that they will appreciate once everyone has had a chance to read it. Just the other day Nancy Pelosi was telling us about more good things she just found in the legislation passed a few motnhs ago. As the congress keeps reading the bill they passed back then no telling what else they will find.
Cap and Trade and Taxes on the rich will soon turn this economy around.
And once those small business owners get a chance to see what Goverment is doing to help them, watch the jobs grow!
You bet this election will bring out voters, and don't assume all Republicans approve of the tactics of Karl Rove.
Posted by: Joanie's Teacher Aide | September 15, 2010 at 11:18 AM
Jeez, what a maroon.
Too bad Nancy Pelosi and the Dems didn't take the time to read the bill "BEFORE" it was passed.
Anyone who thinks Cap and Trade and higher Taxes will turn this economy around is a double maroon.
No wonder you and Joanie are so tight. Too maroons.
Posted by: Puget Sound | September 15, 2010 at 03:28 PM
If you want to spur the economy, give tax cuts to the very poor. Every cent they bring in they spend. No hoarding. No cold feet. Bam. Spent.
Posted by: Andrew | September 15, 2010 at 04:03 PM
I blame Bob Williams and Ellen Craswell for allowing the GOP in this state to stay stymied for so long.
Posted by: Coiler | September 15, 2010 at 04:16 PM
yes andrew, but the flaw in your reasoning is they don't have as much to spend.
if you want to help the working poor, reduce payroll taxes. that's money that will be directly felt. of course, when people get a wake up call as to how much is taken out of their paycheck there will be a whole slew of new republicans. LMAO
if you want the economy to grow, you need rich people to invest. to get them to invest they need to understand that the tax environment. right now, a lot of money is parked in low yielding deposits.
Posted by: Puget Sound | September 15, 2010 at 04:27 PM
Invest in what? They had their taxes cut. Same bullshit that David Stockman told us later on was smoke and mirrors.
Posted by: Coiler | September 15, 2010 at 04:38 PM
Coils,
business startups, research and development, IPOs, etc etc.
if rich people don't feel the risk reward is sufficient they will make the rationale decision and not put it at risk.
give them a stable low tax environment and you'll see the economy take off.
your way doesn't work.

Posted by: Coiler | September 15, 2010 at 05:16 PM
oh Coils, i guess you forgot that one of the first things JFK did upon taking office was to cut taxes.
here are two salient quotes:
"It is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high and tax revenues are too low and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now ... Cutting taxes now is not to incur a budget deficit, but to achieve the more prosperous, expanding economy which can bring a budget surplus."
– John F. Kennedy, Nov. 20, 1962, president's news conference
"Lower rates of taxation will stimulate economic activity and so raise the levels of personal and corporate income as to yield within a few years an increased – not a reduced – flow of revenues to the federal government."
– John F. Kennedy, Jan. 17, 1963, annual budget message to the Congress, fiscal year 1964
Hmmm, JFK a supply sider?
Well, maybe not to the level of Ronald Reagan but it was a good start.
Posted by: Puget Sound | September 15, 2010 at 06:44 PM
2010 Putsie, today.... how much will additional tax cuts for the rich add to the deficit?
Posted by: Coiler | September 15, 2010 at 06:49 PM
tax cuts -as JFK put it- increase revenues.
if we could just control the spending then everything will be jake.
Posted by: Puget Sound | September 15, 2010 at 07:04 PM

Coiler, Andrew is waiting for you to get those fries deep fried so he can get them to his customer at the drive-in window. Chop chop now, we cant have a angry liberal going around Seattle can we.
Posted by: Zounds | September 15, 2010 at 07:09 PM
Which tax bracket was JFK quoting?
Posted by: Coiler | September 15, 2010 at 07:10 PM
The Kennedy tax cut was substantial and cut the top marginal rate a 21 percentage points, from 91 to 70.
Like I said, he had the right idea just didn't go far enough.
Posted by: Puget Sound | September 15, 2010 at 07:16 PM
the top marginal rate... what about the other 98% today?
Posted by: Coiler | September 15, 2010 at 07:30 PM
Coiler is an Obamabot. He dreams of Obama coming to his McDonalds and ordering fries so he can personally make them and then Obama coming to the back and thanking him and giving him the pen he used to sign the "O" of his name on the Obamacare bill.
Posted by: Zounds | September 15, 2010 at 07:34 PM
If I had that pen, I would stab you repeatedly until the oil, dark from your heart, stop flowing ya know? That would be hope, and certainly a change, for you.

Posted by: Zounds | September 15, 2010 at 09:01 PM
Ok this logic escapes me. O'Donnell speaks of “coedness” (her word) and the student body reaction to this freaky proximity is the door to Hugh Heffner’s stag party.
She begs "What's next? Orgy rooms? Menage a trois rooms?"
Then she draws the conclusion….
Coedness "is like a radical agenda forced on college students,”
The initial thought of students in need of a reason to create such fornicating parlors baffles the mind. But the conclusion drawn is; the student body, sexual as it is, develops “Menage a trois rooms” then it is forced upon them? Chuck S must be distressed.
Posted by: MoterCity Man | September 15, 2010 at 09:29 PM
Zounds, You have the tone of a contributor to the teabaggers with hopes that they pick a promising candidate. I would gladly shake the hand of the president of the United States as opposed to the loser of Delaware. It must hurt to know you are paying her rent, oh well another teabagging.
Posted by: MoterCity Man | September 15, 2010 at 09:46 PM
Most of this does not affect me in any way and I certainly do not care if college students want to live in co-ed dorms. They are adults and should be able to have all of the hot, steamy sex they want.
Free love, love-ins and group sex were an important part of life in the 60's and 70's MotorCity Man.
I find the thought of your sucking semen out of the ass of your gay lover with a straw (felching as you folks call it) repulsive, but I don't have to watch. It just does not sound like something that you do with a condom so don't ask the tax payers to pick up your med bills if you bone or get boned by the wrong man. That is my only problem with that life style.
Posted by: Chucks | September 16, 2010 at 07:27 AM
See, I told you Chuck S would lose it. By the way did you hear O'Donnell isn’t a virgin. she’s much like Rossi. A one trick pony that has the talking points down.

=======================
It is very humorous, when O'Donnell speaks on a biblical principal of sexuality, that the morally bankrupt culture can't even comprehend it, never mind supporting the notion of taking the moral high-ground instead more perversity.
=======================
No, if someone pursues the moral high road, this Sodom and Gomorrah culture will do their best to drag her into the cesspool.
=======================
The response is a great demonstration of self-justified anti-tolerance. If she espoused some form of perversity, everyone would be cool with that. But, if she talking about sexual purity - the smear machine goes into hyper-drive.
=======================
We try so hard to accept Islam while being experts at Christian-bashing.

Waffy, Nope, you miss the point entirely. We as Americans love the strong, just,and modest leader. Just look at who we elected as president. What we don’t like are hypocrites. It’s a Christian belief that permeates our culture.

Posted by: Happiness is Kent in my rear view mirror | September 16, 2010 at 10:03 PM
Again, it’s the hypocrisy. Preaching absolutism to the masses with a questionable past speaks loud and clear. I agree with Rove on this one.

We have a president who has recently been defined as an anti-colonialist. Of course, the lefty progressives scream lunatic analysis, way out there and racist.
However, its amusing that I have not seen any substance that contradicts this analysis. Doughboy Gibbs had nothing except stale rhetoric to offer to this assertion at his press briefing on Thursday. And so it goes.
