While Harry Reid may be a vulnerable target, even the chicken lady wasn’t crazy enough for the GOP. Their choice makes Michelle “Batshit” Bachmann seem sane by comparison.
Looks like the newest darling of the far-right nutsos doesn’t want to talk with the media:
In her victory speech Tuesday night, Sharron Angle challenged Harry Reid to debate the issues with her.
But she didn’t want to get into the issues with the press.
Before the speech, Angle entered through a side entrance; after the speech, she exited out the back to avoid the waiting press.
When reporters intercepted her in the hallways of the casino, an Angle aide – who refused to identify himself – wouldn’t allow her to answer questions.
Asked to address GOP concerns that her conservative views may not play well with independents and moderates, the aide scoffed – extending his arm and saying sternly: "She said what she said – it was all in the speech."
Apparently, Angle has been avoiding the press for quite some time. In the primary, she refused to provide public notice of her schedule, making it harder for independent media to question her…

And no wonder she doesn’t. There’s no escape for her, because her hand is not big enough to write an explanation for all the insane views she holds. I presented a few of them yesterday, but Rachel Maddow and Howard Fineman had a field day.

This is the best the GOP has to offer.

Not taking any questions from reporters? Hmm, who does that sound like – I know! Sarah Palin! Do I win a prize? Rachael is right, just let them talk themselves into batshit crazy land and Harry will have a cake walk right back to the Senate. Flouride in the water? Seriously? We’ve been doing that since the ’70s will no ill affect. And no alcohol? That’ll go over big in the casinos who have plenty of cash to throw to Harry. I didn’t think that anyone could top Sarah, but Sharron has gone and done it. How many people voted for this crazy beatch? 3?
Yes Lisa. You win an invitation to join our fantasy Football league. The fluoride shows her up as a closet Bircher.
I hope this means Harry Reid will get re-elected. If Sharon Angle becomes a U.S. senator, the whole country is f*cked.
Tom, I think that’s a safe bet.
Harry Reid is as nutty and rightist as she is. I couldn’t care less which of those two loons wins, except that getting rid of Reid as Majority Leader is the best thing that could happen to Senate Democrats.
Lib, Harry has been better in the last few months, but I would very much like to see him replaced as Majority Leader.
