This could easily count as an extended Quote of the Day; one way or the other it deserves to be posted almost in its entirety to truly appreciate the magnitude of the absurdity we're talking about here.
"Dear Supporter,
Your incredible contribution of time and money allowed us to send the establishment a powerful message last year. Our fight is not over as so many patriots like you have sacrificed over the years to keep America great!
You've probably heard about the latest smear on me. The establishment is going to keep attacking and keep trying to destroy those they think might be a threat.
They won't let up.
The Left keeps after me because they consider strong, Republican women a danger to their status quo. Larry Kudlow recently said "the hope of the Tea Party rests with you because this is going to be used to discredit the Tea Party in its entirety."
Bill O'Reilly recognizes the viciousness of the Left's attacks on me. Recently on his program he said "...the press relished attacking you. They relished it. They loved it... they didn't go after Carly Fiorina the way they went after you. It was all personal... They just want to demean you... The old boys don't want to give up their power."
I'm determined not to let them destroy our movement. If I stand alone, though, I'm no match for the liberal media and the political establishment. But, with us standing together to fight, they don't have a chance!
That's why I'm starting ChristinePAC.
ChristinePAC can investigate and counter attack leftwing groups, many funded with one million dollars or more from billionaire leftist George Soros.
A strong ChristinePAC will enable me to counter the liberal-controlled GOP establishment in upcoming Congressional Primaries...
Your donation also enables me to speak out in many venues from Coast to Coast, thereby helping support a nationwide effort. This is a way that will help me counter attack our opponents and bring the battle to them.
You have helped me come this far. You have been a true friend. Please help me again with your donation. These are battles that will be won or lost based on how much support and organization our side can put forward right now.
That is why I ask you most urgently to lend your financial support to ChristinePAC.
Make your donation right now...
My friend, what you helped me do at the six week long Battle of Delaware 2010, sent shock waves throughout the nation. We can build on what we have accomplished if you will help me again in supporting ChristinePAC.
Sincerely,
Christine O'Donnell"
Help me, Ben and Myrna Kenobi of Lubbock, Texas -- you're my only hope.
This won't come as a surprise to anybody, but if all of this sounds familiar it should: O'Donnell is taking a page directly out of the ghostwritten playbook of her idol, another certain narcissistic politi-celebrity who's been roundly ridiculed not because of her beliefs but because she's a blithering idiot.* It's unfortunate, really, because Christine O'Donnell always struck me as likable if not a little misguided. It was a mistake, though, to assume she'd do the classy thing and just quietly go away after the drubbing she took, rather than play the victim card in an effort to extend her 15 minutes; that's just not the way things are done anymore, not when there's a Q Score to be maintained and money to be made.
*For the record, I think this nation turned a bit of a corner with the shooting of Gabby Giffords and so with that in mind, and with high hopes, I silently signed on to Dana Milbank's moratorium on bringing up the name of that aforementioned blight on the national consciousness for the entire month of February. Hope you've noticed how shameless-publicity-stunt-free things have been around here lately.
