It was another demonstration of Christine O'Donnell's capacity to polarize even her own party: A national tea party group dropped her from a lineup of speakers for a Sarah Palin rally in Iowa on Saturday, only to turn around within hours and re-invite her.

Like father like daughter... both part-time Bozos for money, never quite making it into the big top.snip-
Daniel O'Donnell was an occasional understudy Bozo, not a full-time holder of the Bozo mantle. From their phone conversation:
"Who told you I was Bozo?" he wanted to know.
"Your son," I said, at which point he confirmed that yes, he was Bozo, but not an official, full-time certified Bozo, more of a part-time Bozo.
And this next line is TRULY PRICELESS!"To be an official Bozo, you had to go to a special school in Texas," explained Mr. O'Donnell. :rofl:
He never did. Instead, he was asked to fill-in for the official Bozos whenever they would have to travel out of the Philadelphia area for acting gigs.
"They would leave, I would come in and work for two or three weeks, whatever, until the regular Bozo came back," Mr. O'Donnell said. "I was the fill-in Bozo."
