Seriously, Sharron Angle is making Sarah Palin look like a Rocket Scientist

Can this woman get any more stupid? Say what you will about Harry Reid but I would rather have 20 Harry Reids in DC fighting for me than even one of this dimwit!

Angle: The Press Should 'Ask The Questions We Want To Answer'

Nevada Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle's understanding of the political press appears to have even conservative outlets scratching their heads.

The Tea Party favorite made another peculiar remark during an interview with Fox News on Monday evening, explaining that she wanted "to have the press be our friend," and "ask the questions we want to answer so that they report the news the way we want it to be reported."

This may seem like a candid admission from a candidate who has experienced a rocky roll-out since winning the Republican nomination. But it has left traditionally sympathetic media figures perplexed if not uncomfortable.

Fox News's Carl Cameron told Angle that she sounded "naïve" before resorting to somewhat nervous laughter. The National Review ran the exchange under the title "Did She Just Say That Out Loud?"

10. It's pretty bad when the fox "news" guy laughs at you.

Even the whackos find Angle to be a little too far out. So who is her "base"? Asylum inmates?

11. When you see candidates like Angle, Paul and ex governor Palin

you wonder where in the heck the republicans are going. I just can't believe that anybody would select people like them. No wonder the country is not rebounding fast enough from Bush/Cheney tearing it down.

13. She keeps thinking she can say what she really means

She hasn't fully absorbed the fact that rightwing crazy talk only appeals to rightwing crazies. Thus the deer-in-headlights response when she's asked to discuss things she really thinks, but is now dimly aware horrify most of the population. She needs some coaching from rightwingers who know how far they can go implying and hinting and suggesting crazy things, without actually *saying* them.

I picture Michele Bachmann being flown out for an emergency mentoring session. That's probably why she formed the "Tea Party Caucus" or whatever it is. There may be more than one student in the class.

"Now, Sharron, remember what we talked about. You can't *say* that flouride is a government plot to kill us, or that guns are the "remedy" for liberals and poor people, or that Jesus wants rape and incest victims to make "lemonade" by bearing their attacker's spawn. We have to get there one step at a time. Are ya with me?

Rand! stop playing with your wig and pay attention!"
