Several of the new crop of Republican candidates are seven cans or more short of a six pack. I don’t mean just extreme. We’re talking wacky-doodle-do here. T responsible party would denounce them, or at least not support their candidacy. Only a desperate, reprehensible party would throw their full support behind people like this.

She’s a nutcase: Republican Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell of Delaware said in a 2006 debate that China was plotting to take over America and claimed to have classified information about the country that she couldn’t divulge. "… There’s much I want to say. I wish I wasn’t privy to some of the classified information that I am privy to." Personally, I think that if you were privy to information about the impending overthrow of our country, it would be your patriotic duty to let us all in on the plot…

Now it’s bad enough that Christine “I am not a witch” O’Donnell is certifiable, but she’s not the only one that imagines themselves to be privy to secret stuff. Rachel Maddow and Eugene Robinson have the story.

The Republicans are so desperate to retake power that they are actually willing to include people like this.
