The Onion's Take on O'Donnell's Ignorance about the Constitution
In a debate with opponent Chris Coons, Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell intimated she was unaware that the First Amendment provides a constitutional basis for the separation of church and state. What do you think?

Leon Ashley

Receptionist
"So? When I started working as a receptionist, I'd never used Excel before. She'll get there."


Richard Haener

Carpenter
"This probably also explains why she then immediately yelled at reporters and told them they had no guaranteed right to print what she had just said."

Darla Kullberg

Merchandiser
"I also don't know shit about our basic rights and freedoms as Americans. She is me!"

10. My fav: "Tea Party Plans To Recruit More Coloreds This Fall"

NEWS IN BRIEF
Tea Party Plans To Recruit More Coloreds This Fall
OCTOBER 21, 2010 | ISSUE 46•42


CARSON CITY, NV—In an effort to promote diversity within their political base, national Tea Party leaders gathered today in Nevada's capital to announce their intention to embrace more coloreds in the lead-up to the 2010 midterm elections. "We're bringing new voices and perspectives into the movement every day, and the addition of some more coloreds is only the beginning," Tea Party spokesman Michael Kealey told reporters, adding that he was "excited to welcome Negroes into the fold." "The time has come for everyone, Orientals even, to take America back." Kealey went on to say that the inclusion of homos in the movement would be "out of the question," unless they were the normal kind.
