Sharron Angle Relaxes on Soundstage, Announces Plan to Run for House

Oh, look. We just happened to walk in on Sharron Angle sitting in her kitchen, enjoying a nice steaming mug of air and leisurely rappin' about how Democrats are destroying America.

I wonder if she has any interesting/terrifying announcements to make…

The House! Great idea! And since she only has to convince one small (increasingly conservative) district of Nevadarians to vote for her, this plan seems promising than the last one…

On the surface, Angle would appear to be an early favorite to join Congress in 2013. She lost the Republican nomination to Heller in 2006 by just 421 votes. But Nevada Republicans caution that with much more known about the former state assemblywoman now, the 2012 race presents a different challenge for her…

Democrats, meanwhile, think Angle’s nomination could present them an opportunity to win the seat if they can recruit the right candidate. That could be tough, though, given that the district is likely to become more conservative after redistricting.

And if this doesn't work, hey, there's always the Supreme Court. I'm sure she'll get in there one way or another.

Sharron Angle Might Maybe (Hopefully) Run for President

Is there room for one more clown in the clown car? Come on, clowns! You can make room! Go on, scoot over. Scoot over!

Tea Party favorite Sharron Angle of Nevada descended upon the movie premiere of a conservative Christian movie in Johnston [Iowa] tonight, and she wouldn’t say that she was running for president. But she wouldn’t say that she wasn’t.

"I’ll just say I have lots of options for the future, and I’m investigating all my options,” Angle said…

I'm not getting my hopes up. I realize that the odds of her actually deciding to run are slim, but man! Can you even imagine?

Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, Jim DeMint, Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum… and Sharron Angle! All up there on the dais together, trying to pretend that they have coherent points to make about job growth while struggling to figure out a way to sneak in a coded message to their base about Obama being a Muslim.

How can we make this happen? How?! If we have to, we'll pool our money and get a clown van!

Colbert: John Boehner Did It!

The Republicans won a majority in the House just two days ago, and as Stephen Colbert pointed out on last night's Colbert Report, they've already accomplished so much, from making a profit on TARP to saving the auto industry. In fact, some say the party started turning things around months ago. It's all part of the GOP's new philosophy, Trickle Back in Time Economics.

The Colbert Report airs Monday through Thursday at 11:30pm / 10:30c.

Harry Reid Beat Sharron Angle

MSNBC just called the race for Harry Reid. I have mixed feelings about this.

Harry Reid is the absolute worst, except for Sharron Angle who is the even more absolute worst.

So, yay?
