http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/in-the-loop/wp/2015/01/06/remember-christine-odonnell-shes-getting-sued-by-the-fec/?Post+generic=%3Ftid%3Dsm_twitter_washingtonpostOnce upon a time there was a candidate for US Senate who told the voters she wasn't a witch. But her story doesn't end there.
Christine O'Donnell, the Tea Party candidate in the Delaware race to fill Joe Biden's seat, allegedly used campaign funds to pay her rent and utilities on a townhouse she both lived in and used as a headquarters.
Look out FEC, she's a witch!

And even worse, people still masturbate, despite her campaign to stamp it out.

Her schtick might fool a house of handpicked Sheeple, but not a room full of Widener law students. Did you hear the stifled gasps and laughter in the background?

(82,383 posts)7. That does a good job of showing what a loon she is
She sits there with certainty saying the most outlandish things. Claiming the public schools should teach religion is what the First Amendment is about. With a straight face.

I do not disagree
The DunningKruger effect is a cognitive bias wherein unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than is accurate. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their ineptitude. Conversely, highly skilled individuals tend to underestimate their relative competence, erroneously assuming that tasks which are easy for them are also easy for others.
