Witches, vampires, and racism, oh my!

Something good has finally come out of Tea Party postergirl Christine O'Donnell's candidacy:

I love Elvira.

On a related note, O'Donnell made a complete jackass of herself in a debate with opponent Chris Coons, because she doesn't know the first amendment of the Constitution—the same document her teabagger supporters believe she's gonna protect from them evil, big-spendin librulls in Washington wreckin' da economy and destroyin' their freedomz. Her handlers also apparently cannot spell her own name. You can't make this stuff up. Really.

And in other news, Virginia Beach's RNCC chairman David Bartholomew has resigned because he's racist and his jokes aren't funny. According to the linked article, he forwarded the following racist email to his friends, eloquently titled simply "MY DOG":

MY DOG

I went down this morning to sign up my Dog for welfare.

At first the lady said, "Dogs are not eligible to draw welfare".

So I explained to her that my Dog is black, unemployed, lazy, can't speak English and has no frigging clue who his Daddy is.

So she looked in her policy book to see what it takes to qualify...

My Dog gets his first check Friday.

Is this a great country or what?

Also according to the PilotOnline.com article, one of his GOP buddies was all too eager to defend him (emphasis mine):

David Bartholomew is not a racist and agreed to resign because the e-mail had become a distraction to the Nov. 2 election, said Gary Byler, the 2nd Congressional District GOP chairman, after meeting with Bartholomew.

No, wait wait—don't tell me! He's "not racist" because "he has lots of black friends", right? And he forwards totally-not-racist jokes like this to them all the time, and they laugh at them too, huh?

David Bartholomew: "Black people are lazy, poor, and illiterate, lol. I made a funny, hehe."
David Bartholomew's Black Friends: "OMG I SEE WUT U DID THURR LOLLL"

Yeeeah...no.
