It was the first time since she won her Republican primary over a month ago that Nevada Senate candidate and Tea Party darling Sharron Angle invited the press to one of her speeches. At a local business Thursday she spoke for three minutes about her pledge to repeal the estate tax. She then stepped back and stood in line with workers as a moderator announced she'd be taking questions from the press. At that point she did a military-worthy 90-degree turn and bolted out the door like a fleeing shoplifter as reporters chased her down asking why she's refusing to answer questions....at her own press conference! She hurriedly got in her SUV ("S" for "Safety") and sped off. Not very Senate-worthy behavior.

Let's face it: Sharron Angle is a right-wing fringe candidate who seeks to abolish the Education Department, the EPA, Social Security, Medicare, seeks to repeal health care reform, supports Wall Street excess, called the $20-billion BP fund a "slush fund," claims unemployment benefits deter people from looking for work, and scoffs at global warming. These Tea Party radicals like Angle and Kentucky's Rand Paul lack any real political experience, and for some strange reason salivate at the chance of joining a government they don't believe in. They're all about freedom and freedom of speech, yet refuse to follow conventional practices like being accountable to a free press and a voting public.

It's hard to imagine how Angle can recover from this sort of constant public humiliation. Outside of her teeny Tea Party constituency, she's giving mainstream Republicans and independents absolutely no reason to vote for her. Her repeated refusal to face the media and answer questions about her positions demonstrates a supreme lack of confidence and a mortal fear of public embarrassment. Neither of which are qualities we want in a U.S. Senator. To Reid, she's the gift that keeps on giving, and his best asset in his campaign for re-election.

1. Looks like the porker in the suit did most of the talking

Now that's really going to appeal to the guys who have to work in hard hats!

They also have a huge stake in making sure their children can inherit more than a million bucks tax free, you betcha! Their house prices will be back any day now!

Oops. I think skedaddling was her best option in this venue.

2. God she is so PATHETIC

I would be lying if I said I wouldn't have the urge to grab her by her arm and say "look, bitch, you've got the balls to make all kinds of claims so grow the fuck up, act your age and your potential job position, and answer some simple questions."

But she is just like Sarah Palin. She wants to be able to do these kinds of hit-and-runs; swoop in looking and sounding all official, get her jabs in at Obama and the left, make wild accusations and crazy claims and use bullshit statistics and numbers and then get out quick. She knows having to answer questions would severely degrade the effectiveness of this approach.

Will there be a debate prior to the election?
