While Harry Reid may be a vulnerable target, even the chicken lady wasn\u2019t crazy enough  for the GOP.  Their choice makes Michelle \u201cBatshit\u201d Bachmann seem sane by comparison.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"angle\"<\/a> Looks like the newest darling of the far-right nutsos <\/span>doesn’t want to talk<\/a> with the media:<\/span><\/p>\n

In her victory speech Tuesday night, Sharron Angle challenged Harry Reid to debate the issues with her.<\/p>\n

But she didn’t want to get into the issues with the press.<\/p>\n

Before the speech, Angle entered through a side entrance; after the speech, she exited out the back to avoid the waiting press.<\/p>\n

When reporters intercepted her in the hallways of the casino, an Angle aide – who refused to identify himself – wouldn’t allow her to answer questions.<\/p>\n

Asked to address GOP concerns that her conservative views may not play well with independents and moderates, the aide scoffed – extending his arm and saying sternly: "She said what she said – it was all in the speech." <\/p>\n

Apparently, Angle has been avoiding the press for quite some time. In the primary, she refused to provide public notice of her schedule, making it harder for independent media to question her\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And no wonder she doesn\u2019t.  There\u2019s no escape for her, because her hand is not big enough to write an explanation for all the insane views she holds.  I presented a few of them yesterday, but Rachel Maddow and Howard Fineman had a field day.<\/font><\/p>\n
