In a delightful development, Sharron \u201cobtuse\u201d Angle demonstrated that she can fit her whole foot in her mouth, right up to the ankle.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"19Angle\"<\/a> \u2026When Angle returned from Washington and held an event to greet supporters yesterday in Las Vegas, she was approached by reporter Nathan Baca of CBS affiliate 8 News Now<\/a>. <\/p>\n

When Baca, citing Angle’s website, asked why she wants "to eliminate (Social Security) for younger folks, because your plan calls for transitioning out," she accused him of believing "the Harry Reid lie<\/strong>" and said she wants to shift the program to personalized Social Security accounts that the government can’t touch<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Then things started to get pretty tense. <\/p>\n

Baca said the 2008 stock market crash would have meant millions of seniors having their savings wiped out under Angle’s plan; she replied that he is "putting words into my mouth from Harry Reid<\/strong>" and that she is trying to save Social Security. <\/p>\n

When he asked why she wants to eliminate the EPA despite the Gulf oil leak, she said, "Where are you getting these questions? The issues are not about the EPA<\/strong>… The issues are homes here in Nevada… He is trying to make this a campaign about me. But, where’s Harry? Go ask Harry… Please go ask Harry about the EPA, and why they have failed<\/strong>."<\/p>\n

She went on to say the EPA has "failed to do what they needed to do in the Gulf."<\/p>\n

Angle then ignored a question about her website once advocating U.S. withdrawal from the United Nations and refused to look at Baca as he asked her repeatedly about her "Second Amendment remedies<\/font><\/strong>" comment as she walked in the parking lot after the event. The video is above. <\/p>\n

According to Baca, Angle’s campaign responded to the exchange by calling him "an idiot" as well as another term that can’t be repeated on television<\/strong>. [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Wack-a-doodle-do!<\/font><\/p>\n

As damning as this description is, it takes video to fully expose Angle\u2019s deranged desperation.  Fortunately Lawrence O\u2019Donnell provides it and a discussion with David Weigel.<\/font><\/p>\n

Was that a deer in the headlights<\/em> look, or what?<\/font><\/p>\n

Perhaps Angle should take Dick \u201cGOP\u201d Armee\u2019s advice and deny her Teabagger association.  Perhaps she should deny her Scientology association\u2026 and her Bircher association\u2026 and her Independent American Party association.  Would anyone, other than the Faux Noise<\/em> set, believe her?<\/font><\/p>\n

And I thought we were going to have fun with the chicken lady!! \ud83d\ude00<\/font><\/p>\n

One more thing, MSNBC seems to have picked up on \u201cobtuse\u201d.  Since great minds often fall in the same ditch, I seriously doubt that they swiped it from me, although they would be welcome.  But remember, you saw it here first.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
