O'Donnell dropped, re-invited to rally. (Like father like daughter - both just part-time Bozo's)
snip-
It was another demonstration of Christine O'Donnell's capacity to polarize even her own party: A national tea party group dropped her from a lineup of speakers for a Sarah Palin rally in Iowa on Saturday, only to turn around within hours and re-invite her.

And I never knew about the Bozo the Clown connection so I looked it up.
Like father like daughter... both part-time Bozos for money, never quite making it into the big top.


snip-
Daniel O'Donnell was an occasional understudy Bozo, not a full-time holder of the Bozo mantle. From their phone conversation:

"Who told you I was Bozo?" he wanted to know.

"Your son," I said, at which point he confirmed that yes, he was Bozo, but not an official, full-time certified Bozo, more of a part-time Bozo.

And this next line is TRULY PRICELESS!

"To be an official Bozo, you had to go to a special school in Texas," explained Mr. O'Donnell.
:rofl:
He never did. Instead, he was asked to fill-in for the official Bozos whenever they would have to travel out of the Philadelphia area for acting gigs.

"They would leave, I would come in and work for two or three weeks, whatever, until the regular Bozo came back," Mr. O'Donnell said. "I was the fill-in Bozo."

3. OFFICIAL BOZO (if you please) "To be an official Bozo, you had to go to a special school in Texas,"
explained Mr. O'Donnell.

And I'm still :rofl:

5. Christine O'Donnell's Iowa speech is OFF AGAIN, tea party leader says
Now it's supposedly because Palin balked at appearing with her!

snip-
...The Wall Street Journal reported that Palin’s camp decided to back out after learning that Tea Party of America had re-invited O’Donnell to speak
