Sharron Angle took in $14 million last quarter, the second-highest total ever for a Senate campaign. “This is a testament to the hatred of Harry Reid, the nation’s disapproval of President Obama, and the unprecedented grassroots support for Sharron Angle,” her communications director said. Yes, something like that. Or perhaps it is because much of the nation is now excited, not shamed, by supporting the candidacies of dim people who believe strongly in any crazy theory that is presented to them. These people do realize it will be public record that they donated to Sharron Angle, correct? This is something that comes up on the Google.
Agen did not provide figures for how much money Angle had left in the bank at the end of September and it’s likely to be well less than the $14 million she raised since she relies heavily on a costly and aggressive direct mail fundraising operation.
And also because the illegals came across the Nevada border and raped and stole a lot of her money. [WP via The Awl]

Citizens Untied!
Haha, future congressional and senate campaigns will have access to these donor lists, no doubt tagged with labels like 'stupid' and 'gullible' and 'toothless inbreds'.
I really hope that Reid wins…not that I hold him in any great esteem. No, I want to imagine the looks on the faces of all of the suckers who sent money to this rodeo clown.
"You know Maude…in hindsight, we might have been better off putting that money into Tommy's college fund."
More like Tommy's bail fund.
This just makes me ill. Think of what $14M could do for (take your pick): schools, the environment, sex education programs, food banks for the homeless, etc, etc.
You mean all those programs Teabaggers love so much?
…hookers, blow, high-stakes gambling, etc., etc…
…hitmen…
Concrete galoshes?
Important, information-gathering trips to Figi, Marseilles, etc.
a costly and aggressive direct mail fundraising operation.
Ah-hah — would that be Richard Viguerie's, Dick Armey's or Grover Norquist's? These leeches know where the money is — in fundraising, where one group passes money around to others who all pass it around, taking a cut off the top, until it's all gone. And it actually suits them to work for someone who won't get elected, since when their ideas are tested you get ugly results — like 2006.
Gee
1) The RW must be thinking that Harry Reid is actually a leader or something and think taking him down will demoralize the Demrats.
2) Angle really fucked up losing a 13 point lead and needs that money badly to spend on ads to cover up her mistakes.
HA! Putting Angle in that seat is the best thing that could happen for us in the long run.
Oddly enough, most of that money came from George Soros.
Render unto Angle what is Angle's.
$14 million is not nearly enough to dismantle Social Security.
They raped her money? And then they stole. Bastardo.
They were all probably her nannies…
There is nothing like a good raping of Andrew Jackson….
How much do you want to bet most of that $14m is in food stamps.
Don't tell Reason I said that.
Food stamps are an evil commie socialist plot to give our tax money away to undeserving lazy folks!
Oh, wait; you meant food stamps for white people. Well then KEEP UR GOVRMINT HANDS OFF MAH FOOD STAMPS!
And without food stamps who would republican farmers sell their stuff. Not to the folks too poor to eat.
Never underestimate how easy it is to get money from really fucking stupid people. I've been considering going to the other side. It pays well.
Me too, you have to be really smart, really funny, or have a Phd or something for Dems to want to read your book, but the other side just seems to go for any ridiculous, badly-written fairy tale. Slap an eagle or a flag on the front cover, too, and you're all set.
That's because most liberals buy books to read, instead of display to their teabagging buddies or just to move it up the NY Times bestseller list.
Yeah, but think of all the creepy folks you'd have to hang out with, pretending to like.
This is why I don't play golf anymore.
One way to make money: Go into religion.
Maybe the tea baggers wouldn't be so quick to contribute if they knew about some of the legislation she's introduced. For instance, what about her bill that would have used $1.2 million in stimulus money to clothe the nude Roman statues in Caesars Palace?
Shhhh…she'll raise MORE…
Angle was just following in Ashcroft's fundamentalist footsteps.
Now, if it were Little Caesars we were talking about, then the Teabaggers might have reason to break out the populist pitchsporks.
Although I am surprised that none of the teabaggers have a problem with her plan to reinstate prohibition. She'll take my beer from my cold, dead hands.
(And does Little Caesars still exist? I haven't seen one, or their ads, since the mid-late 90s)
Drove by a Little Caesars a couple weeks ago. They still exist but not really doing too well – Zombie Little Caesars!
Uh, actually, the guy who ownds Little Caesars owns the Detroit Tigers, The Detroit Red Wings and it was announced last week he's buying the Detroit Pistons. Monopolies are GOOD, capatalist things.
Perhaps we should start an Erick, Son of Erick-style campaign and start sending her our own donations. Surely there are a few donation-stained sweatsocks and tissues we could send her.
at first glance i thought you wrote, "donation-stained swastikas."
She has plenty of those already, I'm sure.
$14 million, huh?
That's, like, 14 streaking illegals!
$14 million? That’s a lot of Thorazine.
Hey who's letting Mick Jagger drive that submarine?
In related news, Waffle House saw earnings decrease by $14 million last quarter.
Great – now I want waffles. With a side of bacon.
not just $14 million. that's $14 million in GOLD
Good thing she's not Sue Lowden, or it would have been in poultry
Did she get the gold from Glenn beck?
I would be ok with her if she would just take the money and run (to Bolivia).
Jesus, this is like The Producers! If Sharron "Springtime For Hitler" Angle isn't elected she can't be blamed for not giving all those donors what they paid for and now the brains behind this scam must be shitting themselves at the thought that she might win. No matter what kind of retarded shit they have her come out with, her numbers just keep going up. These douchebags violated the first rule of American politics – they overestimated the intelligence of the electorate.
I keep thinking The Producers too! Only, no one is going to go to prison. Although there's ass-fucking in the Senate too, so it's a little like prison …
Don't be stupid, be a smartie!
Come and join the Grand Old Party!
Insane amounts for insane candidates. Christine O'Donnell and Joe Miller are probably rolling in dough as well.
My 88 year old Mother-in-law who lives with us has received four solicitations from Angle's campaign. We live in Pennsylvania. The theme of all four was that it will require donations from the whole country to defeat Harry R. who has the support of the Devil. Unfortunately, the return envelopes were not postage paid or Angle would have gotten them back.
Wait a second, I call bullshit. The linked article is to the WaPo and, given their record of fact checking, I'd wager Sharron's total was more like $1,400. And all of that was Monopoly money.
Angle may have gotten a lot of her money from her threat to exercise her second-amendment option on Republican donors who didn't give to her campaign. With letters!
Unmentioned is that $13.8 million came as the result of hitting the jackpot on a Wheel of Fortune progressive slot machine inside Palace Station.
Haha, I love the "Wheel of Fortune" slot machines — I once literally cashed out for about $1,400 on one at New York, New York!
I then used the bulk of the money to finance a devastating attack on The Bar at Times Square™.
NEVER RE-BET!
I TOO won money on a Wheel of Fortune machine, ALSO at New York, New York, then quickly blew it at some fancy Vegas restaurant. So clearly there's a causal relation between winning money on a Wheel of Fortune machine at New York, New York, promptly losing it, and ending up as a commenter on Wonkette.
They need you on the Washington Post Opinion page.
If you ALSO lost* a brand new digital camera with a couple hundred sooper hawt photos of your wife and some six-foot-tall Russian "model" who looked like a cross between Cameron Diaz and Milla Jovovich, and smelled like bubblegum and glitter, making the nekkid sexytime all over your comped, swank suite, then I'd say you might be on to something there.
*(i.e. had stolen by a New York, New York front desk employee)
I thought she was crazy/stupid to mail me a fund raising letter since I:
1. Don't live in NV
2. Am a registered Dem (shhh…don't tell any of my psycho neighbors)
But, I guess that broad is crazy/stupid like a fox. Tis a sad day….
The usps needs the business. If her bulk mail servicer is robbing her blind with idiot mailings, that's a good thing.
Imagine all of the
gunsSecond Amendment rights you could buy with that money!Insane monies for insane peoples
She's probably way off since she calculates all the donations on a couple of VIC 20s.
The only lulz I have to look forward to this election season are the attack ads by Angle, Reid, the other Reid and Sandoval. Living in a 2nd or 3rd ranked TV zone promises some really cheezy ads from both politicians and lawyers.
what the fuck are these right-wingers going to do if they actually win? candidates like right-wing angle, christ's revirgin, joey the miller–just what the fuck are they going to do? my money is on, they're going to have a surprising encounter with reality when they find they're going to have to eat the shit they've been dealing. and by then it will be cold. and their puppet-masters will be wishing they'd put all those donations into CDOs.
They'll all get their own photo labeled "liar" and 50,000 tons of rock salt from their constituents.
Oh I think we the working middle class and poor are in for the no lube ass fucking of a lifetime if they win.
Are these wigged out death throes ever going to culminate in the actual death of conservatism? To imagine that it could get much more skull-fucked crazy than this is hard to imagine. But I thought the same thing during eight years of W…
Hopefully fight with each other.
The Wonkette Challenge:
Find a way to work the word "insane" into each and every single headline about Sharron Angle. It's more difficult than you'd think! But only barely!
Any understanding of American politics knows that the country has always swung on a pendulum– goes too much to the right and it'll eventually swing to the left and vice versa. Which is why it should be understandable that after electing a sane, rational, and highly intelligent man as President, the pendulum would swing to insane, crazy, and extremely dumb. I would say we'd swing back to sane, rational, and intelligent but after this crew gets into power, that pendulum will be accused of being a Communist Muslim and dismantled as a government entitlement program and sold as scrap metal by Glen Beck
the angle of the dangle is inversely proportional to the heat of the meat…
The correct equation can be expressed as follows:
The angle of the dangle times the square of the hair equals the heat of the meat (also known as the Second Law of Thermodynamics).
I always thought that was a musical relate with the beat of the meat.
The heat of the meat is directly proportional to the angle of the dangle which is inversely proportional to the mass of the ass.
Organ Donors:
Look you're broke, your husbands dead. Sharon Angle lost……
Well….
Look. Can we have your liver?
Well, alright then.
"Can we have your liver?"
"Why not, I have two!"
Let 2010 be known as the year that the left half of the bell curve realized that their votes count, too. God help us all.
"the illegals came across the Nevada border and raped and stole a lot of her money"
That's nothing compared to their beheading of Jan Brewer's money.
Good thing she's not Sue Lowden, or her funds would have been poultry.
The old cliche is a fool and his money are soon parted. Thus, what conclusion can we draw based upon the wisdom of the cliche? I am leaning for there are a lot of fucking fools in this country. Amirite.
Since she is so susceptible to suggestion, why doesn't some Wonketteer worm their way into an event and repeatedly approach her and say, "You are doing so well since your alien abduction . . ." Then next approach: "The probe scars don't even show, or, well, maybe just a little . . ." Then next time you pass: "It's so good that the wireless mic no longer makes your eyes twitch like it used to before they moved your chip to your heel . . ."
This is a testament, not as this fool says, "to the hatred of Harry Reid," but rather to the criminally negligent Citizens United Supreme Court decision. If I were a woman, I would be ashamed of my gender because of this bitch. (Although I have from time to time imagined myself a woman, and I am quite beautiful.)
Also the Koch(cock) Brother(s) want some of that sweet sweet Nevada drilling action. Uhhmmmm Uranium.
ewww
I have a fantasy scenario where Angle, Miller, O'Donnell, et. al., are all elected and the Republicans gets complete control of the Congress…and Barry spends the next two years watching his approval rating rise like a hot air balloon as he veto's every crack-pot piece of reactionary legislation they can throw at him before winning reelection by a 30 point margin.
I like that scenario. From your lips to Allah's ears.
All of the above except for a couple. Since I done so good on your test over here, where and when is Commencement at Glen Beck U? (And why is the GBU football team named the Flaming Cocksuckers?)
(f) SPARTA!
Only $10 per handjob but she works fast.
$14 million. . .for balls-out crazy.
Joe Wilson of "You Lie" State of the Union fame took in $2.7 million in the quarter aftermath.
But Sarah only dribbled in $1.2 million into her PAC in the last quarter?
Which is it Teabaggers? Fiscal responsibility of an arbitrary national budget or catfood for your elderly mother cause we need to take our country back?
Anti-psychotic medications
Bags of grass, pellets of mescaline, sheets of high-powered blotter acid, saltshakers of cocaine, galaxies of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers, quarts of tequila, quarts of rum, cases of beer, pints of raw ether, amyls…
Dang it. Now I want to take off early and go home. I guess a smoke break will have to suffice.
To be taken just outside of Barstow?
Do you really need all that for the trip?
anti-witch medallions and silver bullets…
bats…
My own fleet of 1,000 shiny new Ford Fiestas…
A 16 oz Diet Pepsi for every man, woman and child in the state of Ohio…
To buy the world a Coke, and keep it company
