DIATRIBE WARNING! What have we done (or not done) to “deserve” all the Christine O’Donnells in politics?

At the risk of launching a thread on one of the topics I promised myself I would avoid—politics—does anyone else feel as I do that this SNL parody of the Christine O’Donnell commercial, though comical, is nowhere near as comical as the O’Donnell’s original one.
It’s certainly not as scary.

What a sad commentary on American politics that a candidate for U.S. Senate has to spend money on a commercial to explain she’s not a witch—and make no mistake, it’s no joke; it’s a calculated effort to dispel voter fears about her candidacy… and then to explain nothing else she can or will do for Delaware except in the usual platitudinous terms (as if she even could!).

I’m confident this clueless witch will fade away, though it can’t be soon enough for me. But I fear there’s an endless parade of other unqualified men and women to take her place.
