Christine O’Donnell Fires Back At Sen. McCain For Insulting Her On Senate Floor
Mediaite ^ | 7/28/11 | Frances Martel

Posted on 07/28/2011 9:47:13 AM PDT by Nachum

In a fit of anti-Tea Party rage, Sen. John McCain tossed a media exposure lifesaver out to former Delaware senatorial candidate Christine O’Donnell, insulting the Tea Party for having launched her to the Republican nomination. O’Donnell graciously accepted the opportunity to make headlines once again, releasing as epic a statement as we haven’t seen since the Homeric tribute to Newt Gingrich last May.

Needless to say, being dismissed as a crazy candidate did not sit well with the Senate hopeful known mostly for having to clarify whether or not she was a witch. In a short and sweet statement, she reminded Sen. McCain of the “nightmare” that was his presidential race as proof that nominating Tea Partiers like her (and not “RINOs” like him) is the key to success:

I think that it is inappropriate to insult the judgment of the majority of Republicans in Nevada and Delaware and that the implication that nominating RINOs somehow means we win was irrefutably disproven by McCain’s own presidential candidacy debacle. After that nightmare, McCain had to veer right so fast he almost got whiplash from all his flip-flopping just to keep his Senate seat. It doesn’t help him to attack those conservatives and Tea Partiers who graciously gave him another chance to keep his job.

...why is the Mccain still around?...and Reid?..and others...

Because they get the very best health care we can afford.

Not like the coming penny-stinker death panel policies.

Keating Five...

For me that was the dog that didn't bark. The media could have flogged that senseless, and never did.

Every dog knows its master, or at least those of whom the master approves, hence it just wags its tail.

McCain is a joke, a creep and a tool. He lost Ohio, North Carolina and Iowa to a SOCIALIST. For God’s sake, enough of the war hero crap. He was a POW, he’s DONE with trading on that.
