If the Tea Party gets any more laughs, or gets any crazier, we’re going to have to start wondering if it’s Kool-Aid in their cups rather than chai.
In a double dose of fun-for-everyone laughter, two prominent Tea Party candidates made social blunders that make us wonder how anyone could want these lovely ladies to run our country.
Challenging current Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, U.S. Senate candidate Sharron Angle said to a group of Hispanic students they looked “a little more Asian.”
While we’ve never had the unfortunate circumstance of mistaking an Asian student for Hispanic, we’re even more astounded Angle thought this would be an appropriate thing to say to a group of Hispanic voters in the state she’s hoping to capture.
And across the country in Delaware, our darling Tea Partier Christine O’Donnell asked a group of law students where in the Constitution is any mention of that whole church-and-state-separation thing.
More confused than Angle when she walks into Panda Express, O’Donnell had no choice but to smile in fear behind her water glass as the crowd of law students erupted in laughter.
As they should have.
It’s ridiculous to suggest a major candidate, who is also seeking to claim the seat our current vice president once held, can serve effectively without having a most-basic knowledge of our governing document.
What you learned at Hogwarts won’t save you here, Christine.
