Summer School Teacher Says O’Donnell ‘Interested In Ideas’

by Riley Waggaman  10:31 am October 4, 2010

Christine McSadnessMuch speculation and fapping has surrounded Delaware masturbation witch Christine O’Donnell. A lot of people say she is just a maniac, which is probably true, but also Christine O’Donnell is a scholar and enjoys intellectual pursuits and lifelong learning, according to some random grad student who taught Christine’s Postmodernism class at fake Oxford. But yes, a fellow named Griffin says Christine is “interested in ideas.” For example, we know Christine O’Donnell is interested in meatballs, and one could easily argue meatballs are “an idea” or at least “a convenient way to eat your anus burger, in ball-form.”

What else did this Bruce W. Griffin character write in his Letter of Recommendation for Christine?

Christine O’Donnell would bring to the US Senate a deepened commitment to the philosophical convictions of the Founding Fathers at a time when the philosophical bankruptcy of too many leaders is mirrored in the economic bankruptcy of the federal government. She would surely add intellectual and philosophical depth to a Senate that at this point in its history badly needs both.

She says she is on the lookout for a husband, why not Chauncey Gardner?

BaldarTFlagass October 4, 2010 at 11:26 am

Because he likes to watch, and she doesn't like to, you know…

Troubledog October 4, 2010 at 11:33 am

It seems like a match made in Heaven.

phaVoom October 4, 2010 at 11:54 am

Add meatballs and I'll bet she does.

Terry October 4, 2010 at 11:30 am

She would add an intellectual and philosophical depth to the Senate? I guess that's correct in that every pool needs a shallow end.

metamarcisf October 4, 2010 at 11:08 am

So when I googled Bruce W. Griffin just now, I got a story identifying him as a registered Florida sex offender.

ChurchofRealism October 4, 2010 at 11:09 am

Those meatballs didn't stand a chance.

Google Scholar isn't much more productive, though we do get WAS JESUS A PHILOSOPHICAL CYNIC?[1] by Bruce Griffin http://www-oxford.op.org/allen/html/acts.htm

Did you notice that this Liberty U graduate talks about the continuing oppression of Irish Catholics in the US?

Terry October 4, 2010 at 11:32 am

As an Irish Catholic, I'd like to publically confirm this continuing oppression to be real and true. There are actually still bars in the US that serve Guinness without the nitrogen. No true Irish Catholic should have to face such a horror.

Terry October 4, 2010 at 1:41 pm

My grandfather's ghost has kindly reminded me that Guinness used to be the Proddy stout. He says I should be drinking Murphy's, like a good Fish Eater.

One_who_wanders October 4, 2010 at 2:19 pm

Frighteningly I almost posted the same thing about Guinness -my source of enlightenment was an Irish (CO. Cork) friend who has a shrine to the Easter Uprising in the family house. So Jamesons all round!

JMPEsq October 4, 2010 at 11:44 am

According to some Catholics like Bill Donahue, it's oppression whenever someone points out that the Church's moral doctrine is full of shit, suggests they should stop hating gays and women, or says the Church should pay for covering up the rape of children.

CessnaDriver October 4, 2010 at 12:50 pm

Yes, bars still carry Bushmill's. It's an anti-Mackerel Snapper outrage!

hooray4anything October 4, 2010 at 12:51 pm

Wait, that doesn't make any sense since it's the type of people who go to Liberty U who were the one's who oppressed the Irish Catholics in the US.

Did you say O'Donnell has Assburger's? I learn so many new things here.

x111e7thst October 4, 2010 at 11:14 am

The founding fathers did not need to drub their own drings because they had slaves to do that sort of thing for them. Christine O'D just wants to bring those days back.

Death. He meant death, right?

Zvi_Bleindmeis October 4, 2010 at 11:19 am

Apparently Christine didn't retain a whole lot of what she learned in that philosophy course. Just that something-or-other was nasty, brutish and short.

mumbly_joe October 4, 2010 at 11:30 am

Yeah, but he just left the White House staff, to run for mayor of Chicago, so you can't even make a good campaign ad out of that.

GunTotingProgressive October 4, 2010 at 11:56 am

Maybe she got her Hobbes mixed up with her Human Sexuality textbook. This would clear up a lot about her stance on the sexy-time.

weejee October 4, 2010 at 11:20 am

Christine O’Donnell would bring to the US Senate a deepened commitment to the philosophical convictions of the Founding Fathers

Xtine OD is a Deist? Most of the well known Foundlings were Deists, not fundaments, and some were out loud atheists. Is she is a Deist she should be riding the Kama Sutra steed, not that sway-backed horse about fapping = furry palms.

Buzz Feedback October 4, 2010 at 11:23 am

Somebody needs to ask Christine to rattle off the first ten amendments to the Constitution.

Terry October 4, 2010 at 11:33 am

I bet she can't rattle off the Ten Commandments either.

Hell, if she could describe the content of one of the Bill of Rights she would score higher than most of her supporters.

JMPEsq October 4, 2010 at 12:56 pm

Now, I'm sure Christine and her supporters can answer "Guns!", and maybe "States' Rights!"; but the 2nd's qualifications and everything else would escape them.

Urban_Achiever October 4, 2010 at 12:34 pm

Id' even settle for that old beloved chestnut, "What magazines/newspapers do you read?"

JoeMamased October 4, 2010 at 11:23 am

And that taciturn, dusky fellow who uses it for the odd constitutional adjudication.

Wadisay October 4, 2010 at 11:24 am

I do give her credit for having the integrity to be the anti-masturbation candidate in a party of jerk offs.

widestanceroman October 4, 2010 at 11:30 am

Wait, so 'ideas' no longer have 'consequences' and it's OK to have them now?

JustPixelz October 4, 2010 at 11:32 am

"philosophical convictions of the Founding Fathers…

The TP'ers are fond of this paleo-telepathy — that somehow they know — just know — what the Founders were thinking when they left Jeebus out of the Constitution. Or lifted the burden of suffrage from all those 18th century stay-at-home-moms.

jimmyjohn2 October 4, 2010 at 11:38 am

If elected to our philosophically bankrupt senate, Christine O'Donnell will have the widest masturbation stance of all other senators combined.

Oblios_Cap October 4, 2010 at 11:39 am

one could easily argue meatballs are “an idea” or at least “a convenient way to eat your anus burger, in ball-form.

One could indeed argue that. That's why meatballs are the foodstuff of choice for Teatards. They're cool with it if you eat them with a sausage, too.

Fare la Volpe October 4, 2010 at 12:15 pm

Sheeyit, double down that bitch. Add two strips of bacon and breastmilk cheese sandwiched between two pieces of chicken beaks. Just slather it in gravy and we got us a Thanksgivin'.

What's next – eBay recommendations as proof of her qualifications?

"Christine's a great buyer! Prompt payment, good communication!"

mavenmaven October 4, 2010 at 12:20 pm

Wow, she took a for-pay summer course once ten years ago with an ultra-catholic extremist. She should not only be a Senator, but should rise to Consul, Princeps Senatus, and ultimately even Emperor. And why isn't she Dean of all Universities, including Beck U?

I don't remember much from First Grade English, but I do remember the point "don't use a word twice in one sentance".

RedneckMuslin October 4, 2010 at 12:38 pm

Bruce, you dipped your toe in the shallow end of the pool of ideas and were wetted by ChristineOD. Go to the deeper end but don't drown.

ttommyunger October 4, 2010 at 12:52 pm

Bruce… Bruce? This chucklehead has to be a fucking Bruce. I'm done.

Katydid October 4, 2010 at 1:09 pm

Wow, I didn't know you could just get a couple of references and apply to be a Senator. I thought there was, like, an election and stuff. Wonder if she'll pass the drug test.

marionetta October 4, 2010 at 1:29 pm

"This was my second summer with the Phoenix Institute. The Phoenix Institute was a group of Jedi academics; rebels and renegades against the evil empire of politically correct university life. "

This from the instructor who said O'Donnell is interested in ideas (i.e. dabbles in but doesn't do).

B.W. Griffin? Wasn't he the guy that made that film about ghosts riding horses?

7pilesofwisdom October 4, 2010 at 1:49 pm

Seems like an accurate recommendation to me — "at a time when other pols are focused on the severe economic challenges of 2010, O'Donnell's mind is stuck in the 18th century."

cymchikster October 4, 2010 at 1:50 pm

The words "Intellectual and philosophical depth" were used in the same sentence as "Christine O'Donnell"! Augh, the pain! Make it stop!! I need a shot of Bill Maher, stat!!

bureaucrap October 4, 2010 at 2:43 pm

William Carlos Williams' motto was "No ideas but in things"; therefore, any particular thing she's interested in (like wiccan blood-scented candles or hare krishna hairdos or chastity belts) is also an idea. Of course, William Carlos Williams was a brilliant poet, and Co'D is just a garden variety fame whore.

lulzmonger October 4, 2010 at 3:02 pm

Perhaps Griffin can come up with a thesis to explain why every moment of TeeVee footage of her plainly displays an ordinary charismatic venal dolt.

PROOF OR GTFO.

That bloody fembot has so much philosophical depth that she makes Vanna White look like Michio Kaku.

Dimitrios_M October 4, 2010 at 3:22 pm

Christine O'Donnell has never met an idea she couldn't misconstrue.
