Delaware TV station “forgets” to run Christine O’Donnell’s 30 minute commercial. Twice.

The Republican Senate candidate has produced a 30-minute television advertisement in the form of a documentary chronicling her connection with the people of Delaware. The station “forgot to air it.”

Coincidence, we’re sure. Nevertheless, the Washington Post has the details:

Christine O’Donnell is taking a page from the playbook of Barack Obama. The Republican Senate candidate has produced a 30-minute television advertisement in the form of a documentary chronicling her connection with the people of Delaware.

… O’Donnell turned to a public access television station, Delaware Channel 28.

… The source, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive campaign operations, said the station “forgot to air it.”
Then on Monday morning, O’Donnell’s campaign issued a press release saying the ad would air on Channel 28 at 10 a.m. The candidate tweeted: “The Inspiring TV show about Delawareans will air at 10 am and 3 pm today on Channel 28. Please watch this before you vote.”

And again, it did not air.

Here’s the full thirty minute video. Help her get “air time” by passing it to anyone in Delaware you know.

A story from the editor’s past to illustrate the absurdity of this story. While I was in college, I worked as a disc jockey at a local radio station. 6 – 9 p.m. nightly on KASH, the Big 16.

Each day’s commercials are scheduled on a programming log by the station’s Traffic Department. That log sits in the control room where the DJs check it frequently to make sure they play all the correct commercials at the scheduled times.

One night I forgot to air a commercial. Just plain forgot. I had no excuse.

The next morning I was summoned to the station where I was confronted by the station owner and program director, who took turns chewing me out for making such an amateur mistake. It was explained to me clearly and loudly that the advertiser was angry and threatening to pull his entire advertising schedule. I was told that if something like this ever happened again, my radio career would come to a sudden and deserved end.

Keep in mind that this was the response when I forgot to run one sixty second radio commercial. Delaware’s Channel 28 “forgot” to run two thirty minute commercials.

So what do you think? Will someone at Delaware’s Channel 28 will “job counseling” similar to what I received? Or will a letter of commendation go into their employment file?

Time says “there is no way” Christine O’Donnell “would be mistaken for a member of the elites”

Writing in Time, which used to be a news magazine, Joe Klein hammered away at the old liberal line that average Americans just aren’t smart enough to know what is good for them. He complains that “There is something profoundly diseased about a society that idolizes its ignoramuses and disdains its experts.”

Time's Joe Klein is your social and intellectual superior. And don't you forget it.

Ignoramuses, apparently, are anyone Joe Klein doesn’t like, including Christine O’Donnell, Sharon Angle, Ron Johnson and, of course, Sarah Palin, who Klein dismisses as “Our leading exemplar of ignorant authenticity.”

What is it about these people that causes Klein to treat them with such disdain? Believe it or not, it’s the fact that have committed the unforgivable liberal sin of being “certifiably non-elite.”

So who does Klein feel represents the elite and the “experts?” Obviously, the people who populate the current administration.

Apparently, the ability to scam a large number of people is a prerequisite to being considered what Klein calls a “card-carrying member of the elites.” Witness Klein’s adoration of former car czar turned financial swindler Steve Rattner, who has been fined $5 million “…and banned him from finance, for a time, because he and his partners apparently attempted to bribe major pension funds in New York to invest with them.”

In waxing eloquent about Rattner, Klein says, “Rattner is a journalist turned investment banker, an Ivy Leaguer, a denizen of Manhattan’s happiest haunts and of summers on Martha’s Vineyard, vacation spot of choice for Democratic Presidents. He did a fine job as Barack Obama’s auto czar; the GM and Chrysler bailouts seem to be working brilliantly, saving thousands upon thousands of good American jobs. I know Steve pretty well; I’ve had dinner at his house; we’ve had good conversations; our kids have played together.”

The left, of course, fails to realize that average Americans correctly consider Klein’s vaunted elites to be snobs who incorrectly consider themselves far better than the unwashed masses.

We would hope that after November 2 articles about elite politicians are of the “Hey, whatever happen to all those elite politicians?” variety.

Rachel Maddow manhandles Christine O’Donnell for her masturbation position

You’ve got to hand it to Rachel Maddow. No one else can plunge into the crevices of a person’s past and deliver a tongue lashing like this two-fisted MSNBC host. This time she’s decided to finger Christine O’Donell for being, of all things, masturbation intolerant.

You’ve got to hand it to Rachel Maddow. No one else can plunge into the crevices of a person’s past and deliver a tongue lashing like this two-fisted MSNBC host.

This time she’s decided to finger Christine O’Donell for being, of all things, masturbation intolerant.

Here’s the rub. Far be it from us to condemn people for getting in touch with themselves. A little introspection can be a good thing. And if by the end of all that waxing philosophic you come to the conclusion that you want to exercise a little more self control, well, that can be a good thing, too. But be warned, beating masturbation might not be as easy as you think.

Our suggestion for getting your hands around the problem and pounding it into submission? Try watching MSNBC on any weeknight between the hours of 9 and 10 pm Eastern. We guarantee that all sexual desire will vanish. It’s far more effective than a cold shower.

Thank you, Rachel, for helping us overcome the greedy urge for self-satisfaction. Thank you.
