Then God needs a new blueprint, because if this is an example the Master Plan, then God resembles a 13-year-old kid with attention deficit disorder...
Seriously, Sharon Angle must be reading the wire, because she is trying hard for one of the coveted "Michael Steele Stoopidest Things Ever Said Award" tin-foil hats that we here like to bestow on our unfortunate rhetorically-challenged friends and neighbors.
In case you couldn't bring yourself to click through the link, Angle, who is running against Harry Reid for U.S. Senate in Nevada has now apparently gone to the Christian Coalition to announce that she is the anointed of God for this Senate seat.
She says it's all part of God's plan.
She also says that she is against abortion in cases of rape and incest because "God has a plan."
Really? Rape of an underage girl? God's Plan? Wow, it's amazing it's even a crime.
I wonder if anyone's ever really had the stones to walk into court (pro per of course, because no sane lawyer would do this) and tell the judge: "Yeah, I raped on a 13 year old girl, making her pregnant, but it's all good... God told me to, and frankly, I've learned over the years to not ask too many questions..."
It was fictional West Wing President Jeb Bartlett quoting Graham Greene who said "neither you nor I can possibly comprehend the appalling strangeness of the mercy of God."
Sorry... got a little lost there trying to be cool; back to the matter at hand... Memo to Sharon: No, your comments do not rise to the level of dumb necessary for a Steele Award.
Sure, you get an 'A' for effort. But unless you step up your game, you can't hope to compete with a sitting RNC chair telling a room full of GOP hopefuls that their party's crowning achievement in militarizing foreign policy in the past decade was not only a horrible mistake, but a Democratic achievement, as well.
Sorry, Sharon; back to the batting cages.
But consider this:
How do you explain all this?" [Christian Coalition Founder Ralph] Reed queried. "You're now a national story, are you kind of overwhelmed by it all?"
"I believe that God has been in this from the beginning and because of that when he has a plan and a purpose for your life and you fit into that, what he calls you to he always equipped you for," said Angle.
You know, she may have a point there.
There may really be the hand of God at work here. By putting an ignorant crank like Sharon Angle out in full view of the public for all to see and hear, perhaps this is God's way of letting us all know what rubes, thugs, pimps and junkies these freekin' teabaggers all are... you know, like warning coloration on animals, as illustrated in this Far Side cartoon...
Apologies and much respect to Gary Larson...
