Christine O’Donnell: Extending Unemployment Benefits A ‘Tragedy’ Like Pearl Harbor

[Mass]

...
O’Donnell is forming a new issues-oriented political action committee called “Christine PAC,” and at a launch event for the group in Virginia yesterday, O’Donnell called the extension of jobless benefits a “tragedy,” comparing it to Pearl Harbor and the death of Elizabeth Edwards:

“Today marks a lot of tragedy. … 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.”

1. What a clueless twit.

[JustAnotherGen]

2. Thanks for postingq

But who cares what she says! :rofl: The issues aside - it just shows her ignorance. We give her, Palin, Bachmann, etc. etc. - all of these radical far righters way too much post time at DU.

[Love Bug]

3. She's even more irrelevant than Sarah Palin, yet she gets quoted?

Who cares what she thinks? She's an irrelevant also-ran.

[Blaze Diem]

4. Who does she think she is, Michele Bachmann?

Their ignorance is astonishing.
People actually voted for her.

[CJCRANE]

5. At least she didn't mention 9/11.

Pearl Harbor seems to be the default Repub substitute for 9/11 in their talking points playbook.

6. Oh STFU, you twit.

Why is anyone still interviewing her?

[Starbucks Anarchist]

7. So there was a 69-year gap between tragedies now?

[CJCRANE]

8. People will say

"I remember where I was when they extended unemployment benefits. I'll never forget that tragic day".

[YOY]

9. So she cares about Elizabeth Edwards!

How touching! I mean she wouldn't piss on the woman if she were on fire while she lived but now she CARES!!!

[MiniMe]

10. How dare she mention Elizabeth passing in the same breath as unemployment benefits

being a tragedy. Elizabeth Edwards would have been all for UI passing congress, but not the tax cuts for the rich. I am not Christine O'Donnell, despite what she may think, if she thinks at all.

[KingFlorez]

11. How disrespectful she was to use Elizabeth Edwards' passing for her deluded argument

[Dawson Leery]

12. This is why Chris Coons kicked her sorry teabagging rear end.

She is very much so, and ignorant tool who knows no better.

[FlyByNight]

13. Christine O'Donnell is irretrievably stupid

This actually passes for "discourse" in some circles. Wow.

[Whisp]

14. there are precious few things some of us here can agree with

but O'Donnell and her twit sister Palin we can. What massive ignorance they have. oiy.

there's something really wrong and wierd going on down there in your country.
