WASHINGTON — Republican Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell of Delaware said in a 2006 debate that China was plotting to take over America and claimed to have classified information about the country that she couldn’t divulge.
…
When Ting challenged O’Donnell’s claim about having secret information, O’Donnell didn’t answer specifically but suggested she had received it through nonprofit groups she worked with that frequently sent missionaries there.
What information could O’Donnell possibly have received in 2006 from these nameless “nonprofit groups that frequently sent missionaries” to China that could be considered classified? How to escape a Chinese finger trap? The mystery meat in a Wo Hop dumpling? The magic source of those ageless Asian complexions? Or did she honestly believe she was the first person to discover that China had been buying up U.S. debt for years?
(Hey, at least China is building toward the future instead of retreating to the Dark Ages. They actually HAVE a robust green technology sector, for starters.)
But back to the task at hand (whoops!): How many more times will we discover that the Delaware Dabbler, taking her cues from the Palin “Aggrandizing Fabrications” Playbook, let fly another wild accusation that no one could possibly verify (except when it came to her embellishments of her father’s acting career), and why in god’s name won’t anybody in the media ever challenge these bizarro claims of Fox News’ freshly minted darling? At least New York Tea Party thug gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino was actively pursued by reporters when he made those grotesque allegations about Andrew Cuomo’s marital fidelity.
Also in your Daily Dabbler news: the first television ad from the O’Donnell campaign has the cipher candidate — hair ironed flat in stark contrast to the 90′s “wild women against onanism” look she previously favored — gazing directly at the camera and asserting her ordinariness, “I’m not a witch. I’m you.” If that’s true, then I’ll forward her my credit card bills so she can pay them out of her campaign treasury.
I am convinced that Paladino is now going to have to ratchet up the batshit-itude several notches or he risks handing over his Crazy Train engineer’s cap to O’Donnell. The woman is pathologically incapable of telling the truth about anything except her refusal to lie to Nazis.

I’m a Witch, so apparently she isn’t me.
Thank all the Goddesses and Gods, that’s a relief.
WT, I’m so sorry to start off with an OT – but Jon Stewart is on right now talkking about the Rick Sanchez “Jon is a bigot” thing.
Oh, LOL, ROFTL
This is beyond funny/sad.
O’Donnell would be a work of science fiction if there were any science, and she would be a work of novel fantasy if there were anything novel at all about it.
I give up.
Watertiger!
The truth is she has discovered that the messages in fortune cookies are secretly coded messages to Manchurian candidate sleeper cells infiltrating all of our precious bodily fluids!
No fair! What did you say?
Water Tiger! heh.
We can all be relieved that she is not us (for waaaay too many reasons).
“My dad played Bozo”
“MY dad played Bozo”
“I AM BOZO”
Despite Jane’s best efforts tonight, I have to say that Larry’s is the MOST boring hour on cable news anywhere.
Don’t insult Bozo like that. At least he was a professional clown.

watertiger!
i’m just waiting to see what this friday’s maher reveal will provide. seems that each week’s releases are better than the week before — tis a nice buildup to the election
Nancy Kwan – didn’t she cover Joe Lieberman’s I Enjoy Being A Churl ??
*spew*
LOL!
Here is a little something for Ms. O’Donnell.
Every day is a new day in this election cycle. Who could have predicted that we would be talking about Bozo credentials or that Reid got his facts wrong because he used Angle’s own words. If some of these “bozos” actually do win it is going to be great fun to watch. I doubt that Boehner or McConnell will be able to keep them in line.
teddy, lo’d and rendell’s egos overruled their ability to respond with anything other than we suck less get over it. i couldn’t stand to watch the clash of the big egos any further and changed the channel as soon as jane’s segment was over.
i don’t watch a show where the host tries to get validation for his own viewpoints instead facilitating an ego free honest discussion of the issues of the day.
To the voters of Delaware, I pity the fool who votes for this woman
To be fair, O’Donnell’s tagline is something like “Tell me something that makes me smarter, and you get the last word.”
He is asking more than he knows…
I know I’ve mentioned this before but (I shit you not), my bible-thumping wingnut cousin told me in 1998 that the “Red Chinese” (that rocked me back on my heels a bit, hadn’t heard that expression in about 30 years) are smuggling weapons into the U.S. and caching them around the country so they won’t have to carry as much with them when they invade.
I asked him why they’d go to so much trouble when they own it already. He was not amused.
Ok can we say the words Drug Test needed?
Dayam, Doc…! Ya had my head spinning trying to follow that line…! ;-)
Aloha, Water Tiger and Ya’ll…!
Last I heard, the Chinese triads were smuggling guns from this country into China to commit crimes since they are far easier to get here than in China.
I think her suburban want to be Satanists with blood on the altair gave her something in her drink something stronger than LSD.
Maybe O’Keefe can clue us in?
I didn’t know she said this in a debate with an opponent of Chinese descent – ayfkm ?
on edit – Not in reply to Suz, wth ?
Just how much will the GOP spend on her race just to prevent the Tea Baggers from feeing they are abandoned?
I can’t wait until it is revealed she has been talking to space aliens from Planet X.
She is just another empty vessel.
Liar she is a Satanist Plant! Nobody goes to a bloody altair at midnight and stays a virgin…unless she is meant to give a virgin birth the antichrist!
I expect her to give birth right after she gets into office.
I’d read somewhere that Tejas’s Walmarts and Kmarts were considered the primary arms suppliers to the Mexican Cartels…! *gah*
Please leave poor Nancy Kwan out of this!
Link that would make great snark I wonder if their gun profits are bigger than their GOP contributions?
Yep. A few years ago there was a story on one of the news shows (60 minutes IIRC) about Jihadists coming here and buying .50 caliber sniper rifles with a range of over a mile, in bulk, to ship back to the Middle East (you can bring down aircraft with one of those).
This post made my day! Thanks.
This post made Karl Rove cry:)
And actually, what’s the deal, are Chinese all of the sudden Jihadists or something?
I’ve always had a real soft spot for Chinese culture. More so after hooking up with Belch, who has been there many times. The personal connections are myriad anymore, even if we don’t talk to those folks all the time.
Chinese people aren’t the enemies; of that, I’m sure.
Weapons also appear to play a role in every facet of U.S. foreign policy. We don’t sign ANY agreement with another country which does not include a large scale arms sale.
The Right is signaling they need a new enemy now that Russia is gone and Ossama has been forgotten.
The US is the largest arms supplier in the world and has been for decades.
{ ROTFL ; gasping for air like a fish outta water }
Osama bin Forgotten?
I think it is more of an additive thing than either/or. From their perspective, you can never have too many enemies.
I do seem to recall it… Yep, the .50 cal Barrett sniper rifle will cause some serious havoc…! It’ll disable an entire engine in any SUV, with one shot…!
Oh, poor Delaware, my home state for high school & college years…Rachel Maddow will be at the Deer Park Inn, a bar at the University of Delaware tomorrow. She is hoping to find supporters for Christine, and to ask them, WHY?
I actually think I started that one:)
True
The United States, making the world a safer place, one (dozen) F-15s at a time.
The Song In Question. Self Fulfillment Or Satan?
For those who were confused about the song, title, and phrase.
It’s all about the self fulfillment.
*G*
Have a drink, I’m buyin’. :)
Ya just gotta pay to play…! ;-)
damn, and I thought it was this
Heh. And about the Vapors…
In 1980 I was sorta “disinvited” to my Jesuit All Boy High School prom, as I was totally flaming out at that point. I also wasn’t living at home, so I could do whatever the fuck I wanted.
So I went to LA for my prom. And to a Vapors concert. Woke up on Redondo beach the next day in whiteface, as we had gone to the Vapors in kimonos and shit.
Wild days.
Nah, you are thinking of this.
*heh* It seems we’ve trod some of the same turf again… Not just in Colorado… But, Cali too…! *smooch*
excellent !
And if the U.S. helps arbitrate a dispute between other countries we’ll invariably back the one that buys the most U.S. weapons. Might be just a coincidence I s’pose…
*heh* Coincidence…? Not when Military Dictatorships are our best, and, largest customers…! 8-(
Mwah!
It’s all up to yer imagination.
;-)
Time for me to toddle off. The corruptinating continues in the morning. Take care all.
I love good stories that involve waking up warm on the beach or in the woods.
*G*
Aloha, Dr. D…! 8-)
Yet another one.
Self fulfillment sure took a cultural storm turn in the 80′s, didn’t it.
A bit different from Gatsby’s thoughts.
Niters, corrupt ‘em good.
Me out too, splendid evening to all.
Nighters! *waving to the departinating pups!*
From my ’80 Eurotrash days…
Aloha, rf…!

Hi-larious! You? Or David Bowie? Thanks for sharing, Kelly.
*heh* It reminded me more of a young Elton…! ;-)
Me! Was in a band called “The Tonz.” Pitiful.
I did look like that though when I subbed keyboards for 4 weeks in “Midnight Blues Band” up at Lake Powell’s Wahweep Marina lodge in ’82.
Wow. I remember Lake Powell in ’82 and driving up to Page to get a good steak. Those were days.
Yeah – the lake had actual water in it, and you could hear decent blues! heh.
Oh, you kids! The whole 80′s decade is lost to me. Mother of two children: 1981 and 1983 — all culture is lost; no film, no music, no museums. But I was in love. And we made up for it in the 1990′s to now.
I was a sophomore in high school, but I still have good memories of those days. Good music and lots of fun in the sun. If I had my way today, I’d drain that lake in honor of Edward Abbey, but I can’t deny loving those days I spent there way back when.
My brother was in a band in the 1960′s, and we followed him from Wilimington, DE, to Philly to play in clubs that were the emerging black music scene. It was so exciting. And Hendrix came to play.
*heh* The better half had one in ’82 and she still enjoyed all the ’80s til it all came crashing down when she said ‘I do’ to moi on Oct. 6th, 1990…! ;-)
Hunny, you have it all, it just looks different.
You have kids and a way long love affair. So what that I have some pics from way back? Meh. I only have them relatively recently from a call out I made to several folks, and my sister in law scanned them.
But I guess what we have is what we cherish.
Bon Anniversaire!
True.
Amen, Kelly…! *g*
Had a long, lovely day with MsCE who cancelled her flight last night to spend another night with her old parents. We had hot cider and watched all the episodes of the BBC’s THE CHOIR. We had a little weep session before she left for NYC tonight.
A couple days shy…! Btw, we’re ‘celebrating’ it a few days later with a Champagne and Seafood buffet…! ;-)
Ooo, yer feeling it sharp then.
Aye.
Then you should be happy you didn’t have ME! At 5 years old, I was a complete demon.
CTuttle is upstairs!
Late, Late Night FDL: I’ve Always Been Crazy
OMG you are adorable. Let me tell you this: I took, as a seminar, and later taught this class: “How to talk so kids will listen, and how to listen so kids will talk.” Helped demon children A LOT.
That’s stupid, China already own the US. Bought us last year.
