Christine O'Donnell Calls Unemployment Extension 'A Tragedy'
Edited on Wed Dec-08-10 11:30 AM by WhoIsNumberNone
Talking Points Memo:

Christine O'Donnell, the religious right activist and recent losing Republican Senate nominee in Delaware, offered her two cents Tuesday on the deal that President Obama worked out with the Republican leadership on extending both tax cuts and unemployment benefits -- likening it to the death of Elizabeth Edwards, and the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

The Hill reports:
Today marks a lot of tragedy," O'Donnell, the Tea Party-backed GOP Senate candidate from Delaware, said Tuesday night during an appearance in Virginia.

"Tragedy comes in threes," O'Donnell said. "Pearl Harbor, Elizabeth Edwards's passing and Barack Obama's announcement of extending the tax cuts, which is good, but also extending the unemployment benefits."

O'Donnell continued: "The reason I say this is a tragedy is because his announcement of economic recovery was more of a potpourri of sound bytes. It's like he took a little bit of what each party wanted and put it together. It's not a solid plan constructed on sound economic principles."

As if it wasn't bad enough that the corporate media has been breathlessly and uncritically reporting every grunt and utterance from failed Vice-Presidential Candidate and former half-term Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin for 2 years and counting, now we'll start hearing what's on Christine O'Donnell's mind from moment to moment as well. Oh boy. :eyes: :puke: :banghead:
Maybe Bill Maher needs a special "Christine" segment on every show? :shrug:

21. Piss off slag....
"Tragedy comes in threes," O'Donnell said. "Pearl Harbor, Elizabeth Edwards's passing and Barack Obama's announcement of extending the tax cuts, which is good, but also extending the unemployment benefits." What a bloody dumb ass thing to say.
