Updated below with video of Angle's appearance this afternoon on Fox, in which she again blasted Reid for saving jobs.

Last week, Sharron Angle blasted Harry Reid for helping save thousands of jobs on the Las Vegas Strip.

On Friday, Angle went into damage control mode, telling a local TV reporter that the reason why shouldn't have helped CityCenter was that she opposed the stimulus bill.
What I said on the radio is that I would not have voted for the stimulus for the CityCenter. And the reason is because what happened there was Harry Reid rewarded some friends at the expense of other businesses.

Huh? Stimulus for the CityCenter? CityCenter didn't receive a dime in stimulus funds. It had nothing whatsoever to do with Reid's efforts on behalf of CityCenter. Nothing!

Yet here we have Sharron Angle saying she wouldn't have helped CityCenter because she opposed the stimulus. At best, this proves Sharron Angle is clueless -- assuming that she believes the words coming out of her mouth. At worst, she's a liar, deliberately trying to confuse the issue to get herself out of a political jam.

In either case, Harry Reid must be thanking his lucky stars, because while Nevada Republicans didn't make the mistake of nominating Sue "Chickens for Checkups" Lowden, they managed to find a candidate who was even worse. And that's an impressive feat.

Update: This afternoon on Fox, Angle took her craziness to a whole new level. Even Fox host Neil Cavuto appeared stunned by her lunacy.

The short version is that Sharron Angle is not only attacking Harry Reid for saving thousands of jobs on the Las Vegas Strip, she's effectively pledging that if she's elected to the U.S. Senate, she would never do anything that could help save jobs. Why wouldn't she do that? Because, she says, saving jobs is "like shifting the chairs on the deck of the Titanic."
