You remember Christine O'Donnell, right? The Tea Party darling from Delaware whose Congressional bid fizzled like a dud bottle rocket on a rainy fourth of July when her anti-masturbation, civics-challenged reputation overtook voter anger last fall?
After laying low for a few months, O'Donnell is back with a book entitled "Troublemaker: Let's Do What It Takes To Make America Great Again," which promises to ring up more controversy as it rehashes her infamous "I am not a witch" ad and her time spent in the trenches of the Delaware political game.
In addition to walking off Piers Morgan's CNN chat show on Wednesday night when the British interlocutor asked about her thoughts on gay marriage, WBOC reports that some Delaware political veterans are questioning the facts presented by O'Donnell in her book.
Sussex County resident Maria Evans, former communications director for one-time Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Lee, told the station that O'Donnell greatly exaggerated a reported "shout-out" Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour allegedly gave her at a July 2008 Republican fundraising event, saying audio from that day has Barbour barely mentioning O'Donnell. Rather than saying she'd "done a great job" when she worked for him, Evans said Barbour merely mentioned that O'Donnell had once worked for him at the Republican National Committee.
O'Donnell's former campaign manager said the audio is taken out of context and is a further attempt to smear her from the same group that he claimed had gone after the candidate before. "If the failed leadership of the old Delaware GOP this past decade and their obnoxious sense of entitlement really were interested in moving forward, they would be praising her for the bold message and insights about Barack Obama and plan she lays out for going forward," said Matt Moran.
O'Donnell has not ruled out a fourth shot at the U.S. Senate next year, according to Delaware Online, but speaks often in the book about being shunned by the Delaware Republican Party establishment.
"I would argue that anyone who would hold on to a grudge for three years for not being recognized at a dinner is someone who wants to be somebody," former journalist and communications director for the state Republican party Ken Grant said of the Barbour story.

From what I can see, he's a Limbaugh/Savage wannabe who runs this cruddy little web-radio show out of Orange County to the south of me, looks like he's firmly convinced of his own brilliance judging by the large amount of self-aggrandizement present on the web-pages that I glanced at. Looks like he either lives to the east of where I used to live over in Irvine when I resided behind the Orange Curtain, or up north in Anaheim near Disneyland.
Honorable, no, she accused people in Congress of being un-American, that is despicable and quite unhonorable in this day and age to demonize your opponents with McCarthyism type rhetoric. She urged people not to cooperate with the Census bureau and break the law by refusing to answer questions during the Decennial Census because supposedly their information would be used for sinister purposes, and the Constitution didn't require it, when in fact it does, despite the fact that she used to be a tax law attorney for the IRS. She compared the first eighteen months of the Obama administration as turning the country into a nation of slaves, comparing a Democratic Presidential administration to the institution of slavery. She accused Nancy Pelosi of having a 100 thousand dollar bar tab on the military jets. She compared herself to a foreign correspondent in hostile territory in Washington D.C. accusing the federal government of engaging in "nefarious activities." She used the same exact slogan as the pro-choice movement in reference to her opposition to government healthcare, despite the fact that she is a pro-lifer. She slandered Planned Parenthood as the "Lenscrafters of big abortion."
I have many, many more examples. This is not an isolated incident, she really is Charlie-Manson crazy, and really, really stupid to boot.
''I just take the Bible for what it is, I guess, and recognize that I am not a scientist, not trained to be a scientist. I'm not a deep thinker on all of this. I wish I was. I wish I was more knowledgeable, but I'm not a scientist.'' -- Michele Bachmann
Do not presume to tell me things that I know are demonstrably false, for I will show you for the sad, deluded idiot you are.
Of course you waste your time because you have nothing better to do down there in the OC but sit behind your desk choking your chicken while you update your website. Don't forget that it's only your opinion that it's ignorant, foolish, or even irrational. I think it's pretty ignorant, foolish, or irrational of you to ignore facts that have been laid at your feet, while simultaneously continuing to insist on the correctness of your own and Bachmann's arguments, when you have been proven wrong by a wide margin.
You engage in logical obfuscation, fallacious thinking, and duplicitous rhetoric. When someone well-versed in all of those takes you to task and shows you to be wrong, you get defensive and insist that you're right, despite all evidence to the contrary. But then, it's probably your environment, I knew plenty of braindead morons like you when I lived in that area. You're no different, I just laugh and point. I'm not abov...

I'm not above calling you names, or intellectually making you look like a fool, it's two kinds of fun for me. What was it Dean Wormer said to the Delta House? Oh yeah, "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son."
The truth is, science has now allowed itself to be politicized. And that's because of, in part, a turning away from God. The last thing any godless atheist wants to do is prove God right, and yet, that's what true science does.
I don't care what you believe, but all of your accusations about me are incorrect. They amount to little more than name calling.
Hard to buy a book written by losers, especially with something like this stamped on the forehead

It's 8/20/11 and it has now sunk to 5,133 in sales at Amazon.com. Glub, glub, glub!
Leftists: doubters of the free market, who are very successful at selling their books and movies.
Leftists: not doubters, just don't believe in massively unregulated capitalism or free-markets that allow businesses to engage in crony capitalism and other unethical practices.
Everyone is free in America to pursue their own way, so why are you so convinced that you have to demonize people who don't agree with you as being hypocritical? It's quite clearly not true.
No way man.
