“Crazy Eileen”

When a woman in a red shirt stood up in a Georgetown senior center on June 30 and began yelling at U.S. Rep. Mike Castle about President Barack Obama’s birth certificate, her rant was caught on video and has since become a TV and Internet sensation.

Clips from it have been featured worldwide — on CNN, MSNBC, the Drudge Report, Rush Limbaugh’s radio talk show — and catapulted the woman into the unlikely role as a spokeswoman for the “birther” movement, whose members question whether Obama is a native-born American and eligible to serve as president.

According to another WGMD (Timb: A local conservative radio station) host, Jared Morris, she has been banned from calling the station — known for its conservative leanings and hosts — on several occasions.

    They truly are being led by the insane. I wonder if Hillary would have incited such insanity?

      She sort of did incite as much insanity. Have you ever read “Hillary is 44″? Remember that interview with the woman from NYC? What was her name? Christianson, or something?

      In some ways I preferred Hillary over Obama, but there came a point when it was clear he’d be the nominee and I never could figure out why she didn’t drop out. I still can’t.

      BTW, I didn’t really like any of the Democratic field. I supported Dodd and Edwards, and both of them turned out to be pieces of shit (for different reasons). I could see why people liked “the K man”, but knew he was unelectable as soon as he entered. (It’s sad that we take looks into account when we vote, but I’ve never gone broke betting against the American people being intelligent.) The only thing any of the Democrats really had going for them was that they weren’t batshit crazy Republicans. I’ll never forget that most of them raised their hands when they were asked if they were creationists.

      All in all, I have to say that the American people DID prove me wrong when they elected Obama. He’s much better than I anticipated he’d be. Still, I’m waiting until about this time next year before I decide if I’m “with him or against him”. I’m not too thrilled that Cheney is still free. Then again, everyone keeps reminding me that we’ve never really expected the President to follow the law, ever. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that Obama’s failing to uphold the law and bring charges against the torture cabal.
