Sharron Angle Runs Away From Reporters, Reporters Retaliate With Hilariously Spiteful Segment
(MEDIAite, July 22, 2010)

The old saying teaches that one should never get in a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel, so it’s really no surprise that the media-adverse ways of Nevada Senatorial candidate Sharron Angle would eventually get her in trouble. Recently, Angle invited members of the media to her first big press event since her primary win. However, once the event ended and the press tried to ask her questions, Angle bolted. The news team from NBC4, feeling jilted, decided to retaliate with a hilarious news report that plays like a dumped girlfriend’s LiveJournal poetry about her ex-boyfriend.

Check out the video at the end of the article!

1. And that's the second video I've seen of her running from the media.

There was a very similar video going around weeks ago. Same deal. Desperately trying to make it to the vehicle without answering any questions. :rofl:

2. The GOP in Nevada should have nominated

a sentient being for this Senate challenge instead of the person they did nominate.

It's a lot harder to win voters' support when the media perceive that you're a total fool and treat you like one.

4. They should have nominated Ms. Take a Chicken to the Doctor

Honestly, that Techno Chicken footage never gets old with me.

In fact, I think FarmVille should create a Doctor Chicken just for the hell of it, with a little lab coat and stethoscope. I'd spend some actual cash on that.

6. : ) What fun there is to be had when Republican

candidates are either in front of the cameras -- or running from them!

5. Excellent. Newsweek has a similar funny bit

Sharron Angle Perfects Dodging Reporters
The Republican Senate candidate in Nevada has put on her running shoes

It's not a bird. It's not a plane. That worried-looking blur reporters keep seeing in Nevada is Republican Senate candidate Sharron Angle. Her new signature move is to (almost) literally sprint away from the press.
