Angle Hires New Communications Director Amid Latest Snafu
Hours after her latest interview snafu, Nevada Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle is buffing up her communications team by bringing on board an experienced GOP operative to help steady a decidedly shaky campaign.

The Tea Party favorite continued her brand of bizarre if not painfully candid remarks when she told Fox News on Monday night that she wanted the press to ask her only questions she wants to answer. By Tuesday afternoon, the National Republican Senatorial Committee was alerting reporters that Angle had a new communications director on her team.

Jarrod Agen, who previously worked as the communications director for Steve Poizner's failed gubernatorial primary bid in California, will take over the position temporarily filled by Jordan Gehrke. <snip>

I don't think all the communication's directors on the planet can obscure the horror of this woman's message-gut SS and Medicare, restore prohibition, use 2nd amendment solutions if elections don't go the 'right' way...

She's a disaster waiting to happen.

1. We're seeing Coakley vs. Brown all over again

Coakley lost because she ran, at the time, one of the worst campaigns in history.

Looks like Angle is 'angling' to make hers the worst ever.

5. Nice, huh? Calls for 2nd amendment solutions but thinks reporters shouldn't ask hard questions.
Guess she just skipped over that pesky 1st amendment.

7. That's what she gets for taking advice from Failin' Palin

I bet Angle would quit mid-term with a rambling speech if she won.

2. When you can't dare issue the message you REALLY want to, gotta find a whipping boy
She doesn't like the press cuz it won't just ask her the questions she wants to answer and now her communications director must pay because she keeps putting her foot in her mouth*

*a pretty impressive trick for a woman who has her head up her ass.

3. Excellent. She's bringing in some of that Poizner magic
I hope the new communications director does the same top-notch job he did in getting Poizner's ass kicked by Meg Whitman, who is about to lose a hundred-million dollar bet to a guy who is beating her with $327K. I hope Angle will consider a First Amendment remedy, namely, exercising her right to shut the fuck up and go home.

4. It won't help
For one thing, what she said was not a snafu, it was intention. And for another, Steve Poizner got decimated, so I don't see why she thinks anyone from his team can help her.

15. Yet another parallel to Katherine Harris.



Harris replaced staffers regularly as if it was their fault she wasn't getting anywhere.

Oh, and of course ... they are both batshit crazy as hell.
