From Religion Dispatches:
O'Donnell, when asked by the moderator whether taxpayer-funded, single-sex military institutions were constitutional, said:
"I think they're definitely constitutional and I think they're vital to the security of our country and to the defense of our country. By integrating women into particularly military institutes, it cripples the readiness of our defense. Schools like The Citadel train young men to confidently lead other young men into a battlefield where one of them will die. And when you have women in that situation, it creates a whole new set of dynamics which are distracting to training these men to kill or be killed. And these dynamics between men and women are what make the relationship between men and women beautiful. So I don't think that we should try to desensitize men to the differences."
In response to a critique of sex discrimination by Hannah Olanoff of the National Organization for Women, O'Donnell replied, "It's an honor to be a lady. That's a beautiful part of womanhood is to be ladylike." She insisted that West Point "has had to lower their standards ... in order for men and women to compete." By lowering standards, she added, "we have reduced the effectiveness of our military."
She continued, "You will cripple the defense of our country if you lower the standards at all."
Can you believe that THIS is an example of one of the "Mama Grizzlies" that Sarah Palin is promoting to compete against the Democrats in the general election instead of a much more competent, and qualified Republican?
Well on behalf of those Democrats, let me just take a moment to say, "Hey thanks Sarah!"
Of course if Palin's most recent tweet is any indications she may have already started to realize that her interference in local election may have caused more harm than good.

That tweet sounds a little panicky doesn't it?
However it may be much too late to do damage control because according to certain pundits the election of O'Donnell may in fact signal the end of the Teabagger's influence on any future elections.
Of course one would really have to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find another candidate so completely unfit for the job of Senator as Christine O'Donnell. And if you doubt that even a little bit then you simply have to take a moment to watch her 1998 appearance on Bill Maher's old "Politically Incorrect" program. Here is both part one and part two. This woman has to be seen to be believed.
Man, NO WONDER Karl Rove is pissed off!
Update: It certainly does not look like Karl Rove as planning to back off of his criticism any time soon either.
Paylin may be a little miffed when she realizes her buddy Christine is getting all the attention. After all Christine is actually running for office, while Paylin is just running her big yap.
ReplyDelete"By integrating women into particularly military institutes, it cripples the readiness of our defense. "
ReplyDeletewell that should be the statement that is pinned to her during the general. if her competition has any sense, that is...
what a statement on this country that someone like this is a serious candidate for senate.
After living with the antics, schemes and lies of Sarah Palin just within the last two years (never mind all her garbage during the previous 36 years), I can look at someone like O'Donnell and say, well, she isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, and she's made a bit of a mess of her finances, and while she did lie about her degree, at least it was ONE college (and all she lacked was one class and tuition) and no one has come forward to say that she's vindictive and hateful (except saying that Castle was a secret gay, ok, that's bad)...so my take is that she's definitely an improvement over Sarah Palin.
ReplyDeletedumb but plucky beats evil sexy librarian any day!
and she is cute as a bug!
Aha! That's the key--in the Koch's Republic of Teabagistan, not only will women be required to wear bumpits, pink or red suits with short skirts, high heels, sexy librarian glasses and speak like cartoon characters on speed, they'll have to be programmed to be Stepford Wives, also too. Oh, yes, and be very, very--uh--white. Who needs the Taliban?
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm sure SP finally sees the handwriting on her palm--there's a younger, cuter Sarah in the house who sounds even more off-kilter and confused than she does. And even has an impressive amount of bizarre skeletons in her past. No wonder Queenie's nervous!
ReplyDeleteYou have a point Dude, but unlike our screeching quitter, I'd hit on this one...
ReplyDeleteSomething I wrote to a friend recently on Sarah Palin's feminism:
ReplyDeleteSarah Palin a feminist?!? Only as much is consistant with being a status quo chauvinist and a Republican Plutocrat stooge. Otherwise, not so much.)
She's so cute in her pink outfit with pink pearls. So ladylike!
ReplyDeleteHow bout that awesome vocabulary of hers:
ReplyDeletereign = to be the leader of
rein = to harness as in a horse.
She still can't get her words right
But.but...doesn't she understand that that "whole new set of dynamics" will keep those young men from masturbating???
ReplyDeleteThe more you know...
ReplyDeleteRepublicans, if you've donated to the GOP, your hard-earned money is now going to support the candidacies of loons like Christine O'Donnell and Joe Miller. Oh yeah, Teabagger crazies have infiltrated the Republican ranks and the GOP is pouring wads of your cash contributions into races to elect total nutcases. Only thing is though, that thinking voters are likely to be repulsed by these fruitcakes which may result with more elected Democrats.
You might want to reconsider making further donations to the GOP since it's more like donating directly to the Democratic Party.
P.S. Democrats, you should be grateful to Sarah Palin for all her delicious, fresh-baked, GOP divisiveness. She's certainly making your goals more attainable.
Wonder when Sarah will recognize that Christine is younger, prettier and virgin-ier than she is?
ReplyDeleteWhat is WRONG with that O'Donnell girl? How about she not impose her 1950-like ideas on the rest of us?
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling something is going to come out about her that will lay to rest all the bogus (hi Scarah!) BS she's been spouting.
Yeesh.
Remember everybody, whenever you comment about Palin, make sure you say how much cuter and younger Christine O'donnell is, and she is a real virgin, not a born again virgin, like Bristol. This will drive the Palinbots C R A Z Y!!!!
ReplyDeleteRunning her Yap, I spit out my coffee. Too Funny!
ReplyDeleteO'Donnell is a nutball Palin clone. Stupid, ambitious, crazy.
ReplyDelete@5:02
ReplyDeleteMy dog is cute as a bug too and very clever for his breed, but I don't want him near the U.S. Senate making decisions that will affect me or anyone else for that matter.
If this nitwit and the rest of her ilk want to take off and create Rightwinglandia and run that into the ground, I would gladly donate to that fund.
So now Sarah's days of being the GOP favorite energized young thing who can do it all is over?
ReplyDeleteThe architects that created the Palinstein monster and paved her way onto the national scene are thinking that their girl has been naughty. She's disobeyed and gone rogue. Time for the naughty chair.
If she's no longer useful, they'll get a younger model of a Sarah clone to do their bidding.
Rove et al created this mess, never thinking THEY would suffer from it. Idiots.
ReplyDeleteIf Christine O'Donnell is as truthful as Sarah Palin, when O'Donnell says she's against masturbation as much as she is against sex between a man and a woman before marriage it means that she is doing herself at least 3 times a day.
ReplyDeleteWTF does she know about the "dynamics" between anyone ?
ReplyDeleteShe's never been married, or even in a serious relationship.
She has no current "friend" or any prospect of one.
I doubt anyone could put up with her. She's totally freaking insane !
Christine is younger and prettier than Sarah, and she has no kids tugging on her skirts.
ReplyDeleteMore importantly, Christine enjoys openly discussing sexual habits.
It doesn't matter that she's saying "don't masturbate, don't have sex", it's just the fact she's using such explicit language.
All of these things titillate the old Repub farts more than Sarah's red shoes.

ReplyDeleteRemember everybody, whenever you comment about Palin, make sure you say how much cuter and younger Christine O'donnell is,
Ha I think I will tweet that to the twit.
U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC):
ReplyDelete“Let there be no mistake: The National Republican Senatorial Committee – and I personally as the committee’s chairman –
... This support includes a check for $42,000...
$42K for a woman that wants women banned from the service academies. Cornyn probably AGREES with O'Donnell's position.
The cognitive dissonance must be nearly overwhelming.
Sarah, with all her advice, acts as though she's forgotten that SHE LOST THE 2008 ELECTION FOR JOHN MCCAIN AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
ReplyDeleteIs O'Donnell Sarah's replacement? I thought it was going to be Bachmann, (she's getting ready for 2012).
ReplyDeleteSarah's old news.
As I mentioned somewhere else, Palin has some serious competition here in The Craziest Lady Gets the Most Money contest.
ReplyDeleteThis woman wants to take away
ReplyDeleteeverything women have worked for to give her the opportunity to be where she is now
So if Christine thinks that women working in the military will lower the standards maybe she shouldn't work in the Senate It might lower the standards and distract the men from doing their job!
Maybe Christine should get married,be her husband's sex object,stay home,have lots of babies and be ladylike.
What are these voters thinking?I can believe men falling for this crap but women voting for her....?
My oh my what a beautiful day. This lady must have escaped from Oregon State Hospital(I wonder if she knew Randle Patrick McMurphy) along with her other batshit crazy teabagging incompetent nominees for Senate 2010. I have no idea why any woman would vote for Republicans. I also think that Chris Matthews must think that woman are stupid. I vote for people who share my values and beliefs period.
ReplyDeleteThere is an old John Stewart song, "Miss American.
ReplyDeleteMiss America, I got your game
It's a Christian burlesque show.
Feedin' their eyes on your sweet
young thighs,
Pretendin', yeah, that you don't know.
Earworm!
You go EfromT. Isn't there something in that playbook about meeting hubby at the door in Saran Wrap?! Ewwww!
ReplyDeleteWhat is PT and why is this other lady wearing breast cancer pink?
ReplyDeleteRight On!
ReplyDeleteWomen MUST stay in the kitchen - preferably barefoot and pregnant. Women are here to serve men. Period.
Women need to STAY OUT of the workplace as well. Men and women working together is extremely distracting.
How are men supposed to make money with all of those distracting women around?
We need to change the US Constitution. Now. All this Freedom and Equality for all is very distracting and dangerous.
"Of course one would really have to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find another candidate so completely unfit for the job of Senator as Christine O'Donnell."
ReplyDeleteIn Colorado the Teabaggers voted in Don Maes as GOP candidate for governor. His business went bankrupt, has been fined several times for campaign financial violations, lied about being an undercover cop in Kansas- and believes Denver's bicycle program (you can borrow/return a bike for free to ride downtown) will cause the city to be controlled by the UN. yikes.
CO Almost Native
I love it how these loons keep topping each other.
ReplyDeleteFirst we had Bachmann who got outlooned by Palin. Then we got Angle who outlooned Palin. Now we have Little Miss No Diddle who outlooned Angle.
If anyone comes along that shows up O'Donnell as the Circus Ring Master I'm headed to Siberia because it truly will be the beginning of the end.
Karl Rove is really the wrong person to make mad. She slammed Rove today. This will not bore well. He controls a large election 2010 war chest, more than the DNC and the Tea Baggers. Without his money it will be almost impossible for a republican to get elected. Things are about to start getting real interesting..even Faux News won't be able to save her
ReplyDeleteChristine's mother must have been a witch. I can't imagine having the views she holds without wondering where they came from. Her mom must have been anti women's lib, a whacko religious nut and completely sexually repressed to raise a daughter like this. On the other hand, it seems Christine knows how to grift and mis-handle campaign contributions to the tune of using them to pay her bills and not keep a job. Those skills may have been learned from her father?????
ReplyDeleteHow is anything going to get done in Congress if we let women in? Won't they distract the men from making important decisions?
ReplyDeleteIf these Repub women actually believe that a woman's place is in the home, then why are they in politics?
ReplyDeleteShouldn't they be at home, also, too?
HOLY CRAP! Where do these bitches come from?
ReplyDeleteAs a woman who has been a lawyer for nearly 30 years (when I started out, there weren't many of us in southern law firms for sure), if O'Donnell doesn't think women belong in the military, the choice is easy. Women don't belong in the military, then they don't belong in the Senate nor the Governor's Mansions, nor the White House. Anyone who follows this tripe should therefore never vote for O'Donnell, Palin, Sharron Angle, etc.
ReplyDeleteO'Donnell has run for public office three times in the last five years -- and lost all three times. I can see why. What an unqualified loon -- just like Mrs. Palin.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder Karl Rove is speaking out.
When the Becker has her on his tooney show and reads his letter to her, $paylin's gonna crap her spandex.
ReplyDeleteWhen I think about her, I touch myself.
ReplyDeleteCheck out Jimmy Kimmel. Opening segment goes after this nitwit on the anti masturbation stuff.
ReplyDeleteShe makes me not want to masturbate, so I guess that's a "mission accomplished" for her.
ReplyDeleteCO @ 8:15, OMG! That guy is crazy! Makes our doofus Rick Perry look good. I'll have to watch the CO gub election results!
ReplyDelete"REIGN"? Sarah, buy a dictionary. Better yet, don't - we love watching you make an utter fool of yourself.
ReplyDeleteO'Donnell's republican primary challenger called her a con artist. So where were these people when Palin was picked to be VP candidate? Looks like O'Donnell has become Palin's surrogate for republican attacks. I'm enjoying every minute of this election.
ReplyDeleteOK, I agree with Ratfish...anytime these Republitards are so publicly anti-sex, anti-gay, and anti-masturbation, we usually find them in gay sex clubs, tapping men's feet in bathrooms, or harassing teenage pages.
ReplyDeleteI would bet the farm that O' Donnell is probably a gay masturbation addict...apparently she's never been married or had kids, so then she's a forty one year old VIRGIN???? Expect some hot gay women to come out of the woodwork soon. This gets better everyday. Sorry Sarah, there's a new lunatic in town that's way more interesting than you!
Read this! Brad Blog notes that O"Donnell won the electronic voting machine votes, but she was thrashed in the verifiable vote department.
ReplyDeleteDid she really win? Unlikely!
http://www.bradblog.com/?p=8073
America is SOOOO screwed by the oeople who control these eMachines!
Christine O'Donnell is what you get when the kids from Jesus Camp grow up.
ReplyDeleteDelaware has a huge military/ex military population (Dover AFB), especially in the center and south part of state. So Missy O just stepped in shit and will hve a hard time cleaning her shoes.
ReplyDeleteAlso, too I just do not think Chrissie O is htat pretty. It pains me to type this, but Palin is prettier.
ReplyDeleteChrissie needed Curtis Menard Sr.'s orthodontia skills and some serious thigh/ass lipo. Also,the 1980's called and wants its hairstyles back.
This will be fun to watch, but we need to demand voter receipts with the electronic machines. This is bullshit.
Every servicewoman in any military branch should remember this latest O'Donnell gem, which is every bit as loony and neanderthal as her statements about masturbation. Where do they come up with these nuts, who are obviously suffering from diarrhea of the mouths and constipation of the brains? Just when I think they can't set the bar any lower, they consistently outdo themselves in rank stupidity. And what's with this challenging the manhood of either political rivals (like O'Donnell) or the president (like Palin)? It just makes them sound as silly and emotionally stunted as their male counterparts.
ReplyDeleteIf the people of Delaware end up voting this certifiable loon to the Senate, they will get exactly what they deserve. But I take heart in hearing that people who backed Castle will vote for her Democratic opponent, Coons.
Okay I waited a day before commenting to try to tone down my comment. So if needed Gryphen censor me if needed.
ReplyDeleteIt is bad enough with her anti-masturbation theories, knowing good and dam well her ass is not virginized(my new word). She lives with a dam man an thinks we will all believe that innocent spill.
The audacity of her speaking against females in the military in a demeaning way needs her ass kicked.
I was in law enforcement for 22 years and I was not treated any different than the guys. I came up through the ranks an even made the rank of Lieutenant with a shift of 22 deputies and nurses.
Women have worked so hard for equal rights and then you got some foofoo bitch that wants to be dependent on a male for everything. You can tell she wants women to be subservient.
Bitch we are not going backwards in time we are going frontwards. Young women can be all they want to be and there is absolutely no reason to treat them different.
In the real world the majority are not treated any differently because of gender. I am a very strong female and I can do anything a man can do and most of the time even better. Common facts women perform better under stress and leadership qualities. So I really think it is time for you to sit down and STFU.
P.s. It appears you are nothing but low priced bimbo by your financial statements living and scrounging on who you can and bailing on others.
I served. I am a woman.
ReplyDeleteChristine is just a grifter. Nothing more.
Go, make nice with your gay sister in LosAngles, Christine.
This is too funny not to share with your readers.

I never thought I would ever be cheering for the evil Karl Rove, but her goes...Yeah, Karl!
ReplyDeleteBut I do have to wonder what there is about this particular nut job that has Karl's shorts in a bunch...humm...his he jealous because O'Donnell is Paylin's puppy or did she snub him at sometime....interesting.
Oh, yeah, I am sure that the gal spends have her time sneaking off to the restroom for some private time....she is so in love with herself she probably does not have time for a "friend." Of course there is a chance that she is afraid to come out of the closet.
