GOP: God's Own Psychos

I didn't really give this story a lot of time last week, but I mention it now as another example of how crazy these people are. Last week, Ashley Todd, a mentally disturbed McCain volunteer who claimed to have been attacked, perhaps even sexually assaulted by Obama supporters, was exposed as a liar, who created her own injuries and then lied to the police about the "attack." Okay, who would you rather be associated with? The crazy people like Michelle Bachman, Nancy Pfotenhauer and Ashley Todd? Or the nice, calm Obama people?

And what of John Moody, the Fox News Exec who said "on his blog there that "this incident could become a watershed event in the 11 days before the election. If Ms. Todd's allegations are proven accurate, some voters may revisit their support for Senator Obama, not because they are racists (with due respect to Rep. John Murtha), but because they suddenly feel they do not know enough about the Democratic nominee. If the incident turns out to be a hoax, Senator McCain's quest for the presidency is over, forever linked to race-baiting."

Oh don't worry Ashley, you're not the only one: Crazy WFTV (Orlando) anchor Barbara West interviews Biden about Marxism:

"You may recognize this famous quote," she said during the interview, "From each according to his abilities to each according to his needs, that's from Karl Marx. How is Senator Obama not being a Marxist if he intends to spread the wealth around?"

Biden laugh out loud: "Are you joking? Is this a joke?"

"No," she says.

"Is that a real question?" Joe seems a little disbelieving that this woman isn't from "This is Your Life."

"That's a question." West said.

But is McCain any more sane? Here he is on Meet the Press on Sunday answering what I even thought were pretty softball questions from Tom Brokaw. McCain on Meet the Press. In case you're wondering about senility, so am I-- McCain forgot George Schultz's name on his list of Secs of State who endorsed him. Once again, maybe I would have done the ame thing, but a) he's the one who brought the subject up and b) that's why I'm not running for president.
