Wow. What a p.r. master.

Nevada’s Tea Party right-wing Senate candidate, Sharron Angle, finally pops up in big media. She’s been dodging reporters and writers and TV people and internet sources and everybody on the planet because she’s a laughable whackjob whose public numbers are doing a Titanic now that her clownish personal views are known. Let’s abolish Social Security, Medicare, the Department of Education and fluoridation of your tap water, good ideas all.

Here, she finally sits down for an interview with a friendly face, Fox’s Carl Cameron. Carl asks her about her recent allergies to media, to which she rebounds with about as good a 25 seconds of ‘WTF?‘ as you’ll get.

The impersonation is spot on. The combination of animal self-assurance and prideful clod-hopping down the simplest path to a rout invokes Dwight Schrute in oblivious glory. The lack of awareness is nothing to be ashamed of, no, it’s a killer feature of the overall Angle nature. Albeit a disturbingly, psychotically grinning and head-bobbing nature.

Sharron Angle will just do what Sharron Angle will do. For example, if you, say, try to use her personal views, once proudly laid out for all to see on her former website, against her in a political campaign and the tactic begins to work, you will be accosted with lawsuits. You must be stopped from being effective. That’s what Sharron Angle will do. It’s not about Sharron Angle, it’s about Sharron Angle simply winning.

Speaking of which, help out Carl, here, Sharron — why were you having such a bad time dealing with the media? What were you trying to do?

[grin] Well . . .

1.) We had to transform the media into friends.
2.) SO that they would ask the questions we wanted them to ask.
3.) SO that we could get the answers out that made us look good.
4.) SO that we could lobby the audiences to go to Sharron Angle dot com.
5.) SO that they would donate at Sharron Angle dot com.
6.) LIKE your listeners, who can go to Sharron Angle dot com.

A Senate campaign’s pretty simple, really:

As I blogged earlier, Ray is a pill and steroid junkie apparently obsessed with keeping up appearances for profit. Testosterone Cypionate, HCG, HGH, Arimidex, Finasteride, Anastrozole, Pregnenolone, Diovan, Genotropin, what a mess.

Turns out his ‘doctor’, his intimate friend who’d presumably be forced to detail the demi-god’s gripping battle with endemic shriveling gonads and male boobies only at the threat of death, is just an osteopath with a profitable website:

And now, like me, you get to look at that symbol on the left of the “All Things Male” banner and burst out laughing. 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . (I haven’t named my nuts ‘Yin’ and ‘Yang’, but I imagine they, too, are comically unalike.)

This was Crisler’s letter, in Ray’s keeping in his accommodations in Sedona, that investigators found and photographed:

Typos and all, it reads:

To Whom It May Concern:

Mr. James Arthur ray, DOB [XXXXX], is currently a patient under my care. As part of his treatment therapy, he has been prescribed the following medications:

Testosterone Cypionate
HCG
HGH
Arimidex
Finasteride

He also uses several OTC products, and must carry the syringes necessary for the administration for the above medications.

Qualified individuals with additional questions are free to call me.

Regards,

GIANT SIGNATURE

John Crisler, DO

Turns out there are a lot fewer than I thought, given the GOP.com site promises I get to ‘see them all’. A grand total of 18.

Well, since there are so few, heck, even liberal me could probably come up with most of them.

How about the Presidents? Hey, turns out there are exactly 18, that must be it: Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James Garfield, Chester A. Arthur, Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William H. Taft, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert C. Hoover, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Richard M. Nixon, Gerald R. Ford, Ronald W. Reagan, George Herbert Walker Bush, George Walker Bush.

Err, NOPE, not even close. Only three of those are included in the list: Lincoln, Eisenhower and Reagan. A guy on Mount Rushmore, Teddy Roosevelt, didn’t rate.

Wow, who the hell could beat Roosevelt to the ‘HEROES’ list? Adam Smith? Ayn Rand? Barry Goldwater? Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter? Oh, wait–Jesus H. Christ, maybe? Nah, c’mon, don’t be so dense…


Frederick Douglass, of course.

And Octavius Catto, [wikipedia] natch: “African American educator, intellectual, and civil rights activist.”

Joseph Rainey, “…the first African American person to serve in the United States House of Representatives.”

Dr. José Celso Barbosa. “‘The father of the Statehood for Puerto Rico movement’, Barbosa was also the first Puerto Rican with an American (United States) medical degree.”

Abolitionist John Langston “was the first African American elected to the U.S. Congress from Virginia.”

Hiram Revels, “the first African American to serve in the United States Senate.”

Edward Brooke, “the first African American to be elected by popular vote to the United States Senate.”

And finally, let’s not forget our featured website player…the great, the one and only……OH NO! No, it can‘t be.

A great HEROIC REPUBLICAN like him, and they can’t even get his name right, right there on the link. Pinckney Pinchback. Don’t know how that could have happened.

“…the first non-white and first person of African American descent to become governor of a U.S. state. A Republican, he served as the governor of Louisiana for 35 days, from December 9, 1872, to January 13, 1873.

Nicholas Lemann, in Redemption: The Last Battle of the Civil War, described Pinchback as ‘an outsized figure: newspaper publisher, gambler, orator, speculator, dandy, mountebank – served for a few months as the state’s Governor and claimed seats in both houses of Congress following disputed elections but could not persuade the members of either to seat him.’”

An heroic Republican, to be sure. Arguably greater than the President, U.S. Grant.

I wonder why all the above images, except the Langston pic, were merely copied directly from their Wikipedia pages. I’d have figured many of these stalwart Republican families would have proudly rendered to their beloved GOP images of their pioneering forefathers years ago. You know, for all those glorious gushing publications, trophies, and awards lo these many decades.

Here, here’s the link, maybe you can figure it out. Incidentally, upon arriving amongst the greats, the first pictured HERO you will see there, you might say ‘Wait–is that…?’ Yes it is:

Susan B. Anthony.

They’re number one.

Gateway Pundit comes across the essential difference between the left and right, what a smart boy is he:

“CLEAN Conservatives vs FILTHY Liberals– A Photographic Essay

After the 2 million strong conservative freedom rally on 9-12:

And, here is the filth left for someone else to clean up after the Inauguration of Barack Obama:”

You know what’s really messy? Uglier and messier than anything else, ever? War, like the one in Iraq.

Ew, yuck. Not enough bleach in the world.

Update:

“My webmaster informs me that after 8 years of attacking President Bush, calling him all sorts of horrific names, suggesting he be assassinated, making a film of him being assassinated, attacking his wife and his daughters, the Left these days has a veeeeery thin skin. Outraged, outraged they are that I noted on today’s Laura Ingraham show that I consider the Obamas trash. Considering the nature of what they’re doing to this country, that’s a mild word to describe my opinion.

As Pat S. notes, Obama is also starting to get serious criticism now from all sides. After just 8 weeks, and an imploding admin, it’s not surprising for the left to be desperate for distractions onto which to fling their Pseudo-Outrage about their Pseudo-Sophisticate President. Obama obviously does not know how to govern and the stakes are higher than winning an election–it’s about whether or not this nation survives or goes bankrupt as B. Hussein Urkel pushes his Social Engineering scheme at the expense of everyone’s future.”

Now the Huffington Post is running with it:

Does octo-mom Nadya Suleman think she’s Angelina Jolie?

Both women are 33 and are mothers to arguably, at least for now, the two most famous broods in the world. They also survived divorce, longed for children and chose to become single parents.

Consider this: In photos of Suleman pre-octuplets out Monday, she looks noticeably different. She has had what appears to be lip implants or filler injections to pump up her pucker. She’s also evidently had a nose job. Both nose and lips now mimic the features of Jolie, as others have pointed out. Scroll for photos and a closer look. Suleman already had brown eyes and has now grown her dark brown hair all the way down her back…

UPDATE:
Nadya Suleman addressed the Angelina Jolie chatter during a “Dateline” special Tuesday night. “I have never even thought of Angelina Jolie, except the last time I saw a movie,” Suleman told Ann Curry. “I think that was like years ago. This is so far away from the place I’m in right now, to think of any celebrity.” She also denied having any plastic surgery. Asked if she’d had her lips done, Suleman replied, “No, no.”

I think she’s lying.

You know how this is going to turn out, right? Someone will figure out she did have plastic surgery, and then the story will blow up again. Ugh. I hope all this ‘attention’ doesn’t cause her harm–the NY Post, of course, says she’s been mentally ill.

For what it’s worth, she’s got a website now, and folks can make donations.
