The state party’s executive committee had barred MacDonald from the booth after restricting access to its state fair booth to candidates with pending criminal cases.

Is it wrong that I’m smiling? That’s just wickedly delicious. Lesson learned: Maybe when you reflexively nominate the most conservative candidate, all other considerations aside, you’re going to end up with a certain percentage who are Bible-thumping half-insane whack jobs for whom believing in a crude, degraded form of so-called conservatism makes life seem simple and helps keep their unstable personalities in some form of working order.

And the ironic thing is, she was the volunteer shot girl/cocktail waitress for most of these GOP gigs.
She obviously knew too much and there is obviously more to this story. And it’s obviously early and I’m obviously full of shit : )

They are going to have a problem finding ANY candidates.

And yet we expect them to prevail in November. Weird.

That woman has the judgement necessary to be a Minnesota Supreme Court Judge?

The problem being that these idiots have legions of other idiots who believe in their idiocy.

You’re welcome in my booth anytime. (I hope booth is not an euphemism.)

I’ll have a large caramel-coated order, please, but no extra butter.

This was uncalled for. They are violating Saint Reagan’s 10th Commandment. I am sure the Party leaders did as much due diligence for Michelle McDonald as they did for Michele Bachman. They should stand by her. This public tantrum by the Party Bosses at a family-friendly event like the State Fair was unnecessary. What kind of example are the GOP Bosses setting for Republican-tent visiting families and their children? Sleazy weasels.

Booth-booth, whatever are you trying to say? Metaphors for euphemisms always confuse me : )

Matt, you need to get access to the Republican Party’s wikipedia page and put this in as the definition, as you’ve captured those loons perfectly.

Well, if Andrew Zimmern doesn’t want the justice on a stick, I’ll have it. And a funnel cake. No, just getting started. Cheese curds, pickles, Oreos, fritters. You have frozen cider pop? Yes, for me, thank you. Wait, the justice on a stick is not deep-fried? No wonder Zimmern turned it down. Forget the justice on a stick. Just add in the large-size mini cinnamon rolls. Thank you, sir. And which way is the butter cow?

“We may as well look for Justice on a STICK, because we can’t find it here!!”

That’s funny, in GOP-land you can order up whatever Justice on a stick you like based on your campaign donations

She sounds more like a defiant loser or defendant here than a prospective Judge. I like this woman’s spunk, but not her Judgement.

She’s not a true Minnesotan. A true Minnesotan at the state fair would want deep-fried justice on a stick.

Legions of voters who will vote for the letter “R” regardless of who is attached to it.

I must say that I feel such sympathy for…uhhhh…~snort!~…In reality all involved appear to be such douche bags and loathsome GOPiggy people that I’m just going to enjoy a good cup of shadenfreude with this!

(*Still…I do wish I could unsee her picture, especially this early in the day!)
