James H. How about the Jaws theme or the Exorcist theme.
How about the theme from the new 'Europe is dying' vid on youtube. Very Sobering Video, Demographic Problem, Whats The Answer? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9atIjykihkc&feature=player_embedded

The fact that she is a nominee of a major party for the Senate is a sign of American decline. I'm investing in gold and China. A twit.
She lied about being admitted to Princeton, lied about going to Oxford. Has she ever had a job? Other than the one she got fired from and then sued for "gender discrimination?" Really, quite the whiny liberal, isn't she?

Uh no. Because she isn't blaming "the man" for anything and because she is not demanding others pay her for whatever position she happens to find herself in due to her own actions.
That makes her the opposite of a "whiny liberal", doesn't it?

Here's the deal for me I don't care if she's a lying witch evil person who loses the general election so long as she knocked out an entrenched politician. It is way past time to get rid of the bunch (both sides) that have this country to this point. It's not Christine that's distoryed the federal govenernment. We have a ruling class that is ripe with self importance and entitlement to the point they will allow the country to go down the drain. So bravo to Christine she got at least 1 entitiled P.O.S. republician out of the way. I would hope that our friends on the other side would do the same thing, after all they have a few POS's that could/should be run out of town on a rail. It's the one place I think we could find common ground, give us back our country!

Uh yeah, she's blaming "the man" and demanding others pay her when she sues her former employer for $6.9 million for "mental anguish," you dolt.
This is from The Weekly Standard:
"She has a shady history and we're not talking ancient history," conservative radio host Dan Gaffney tells THE WEEKLY STANDARD. "We're talking current history, and she lies about it."

The illegal alien in the White House has never had a real job... His two legislative jobs were about 100 days a year--if he had ever shown up.
And Obama is thoroughly fucking up the first job he's been forced to do. Christine is no treasure, but she beats most of the crooks currently holding seats in Congress.

I really wasn't trying to derail the thread. The challengers painting her as a witch, and the media's treatment of the subject seems so much like the interaction of the peasants and Sir Bevedere that I though a little allusion would be appropriate.
Sadly, Michael, no one expects the Spanish Inquisition.

Um, you use the word "sues" in your comment.
Which implies present tense.
But the lawsuit was dropped in 2008 by O'Donnell.
So that's past tense.
So, my original comment stands as correct.
Naturally.
galoob, did you "forget" to include the fact that the lawsuit was dropped?
2 years ago?
Does that make you a dolt?

"But the lawsuit was dropped in 2008 by O'Donnell."
She sure did because according to O'Donnell she could no longer afford her legal fees.
This is from the complaint that her lawyer filed in her behalf in 2005.
"Ms. O'Donnell has suffered extreme emotional harm as a result of the actions taken or not taken by ISI, and statements made by and on behalf of ISI, in the form of grief, shame, humiliation, embarrassment, anger, chagrin, disappointment and worry. This harm has caused physical manifestations, and caused Ms. O'Donnell to seek treatment for her distress." Definitely worth $6.9 million.
Here is the link to the court document.

Start out in costume; witches hat, wild gray wig, big fake bent nose with a wart on it, over-sized tooth (think: I'll get you, my pretty and your little dog too!)
Then talk points while removing each costume piece, piece by piece, until you have the cute little candidate back, finishing with a great line that out-and-out mocks Maher and the whole notion ("They want to go back to High School. I want to get to work on our future")
And for God's sake, drop the creepy "I am you" thing.
