[img]1|left|Ari Noonan||no_popup[/img]The latest Christine O’Donnell story reminds me of the question about whether a falling tree in the forest emits noise if no one is around to hear it.

There is a better chance you and your family will dine tonight on fried ice and doughnut holes than there is that you will read the following account in the Los Angeles Titanic.

The emotional left-wing boys and girls downtown at the Titanic are plain folk. They think more simplistically than you do and I do. That is why they love to show their fealty to Allah by making fun of Republicans in every edition.

Mickey (Mouse) Muskal is one of the political beat reporters at the Titanic who has been allowed to insert his sarcastic opinion into stories this cycle about GOP candidates, especially women, most especially Ms. O’Donnell.

On Tuesday night, it seems that Ms. O’Donnell, the much-maligned, daily-spoofed Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate from Delaware, debated her left-wing Democrat rival, Chrissie Coons, in Wilmington.

This Is Not Debatable

Wearing a lottery-winning beam, Mickey Mouse never left the West Coast two nights ago. But he was allowed to rewrite wire accounts and attach his name to a 15-paragraph story as if he had been there. My golly, did Mickey ever ring up a new round of jollies by mocking her performance.

Since you and I have lived for 40 years with the left-wing’s fantasy that “the right” to an abortion is in the Constitution, and even longer with the idea of the separation of church and state, smarty-pants liberals smelled blood when Ms. O’Donnell asked Chrissie:

“Where in the Constitution I the separation of church and state?”

The college-age audience, which is almost as smart as the far left, laughed as if Laurel and Hardy had just climbed out of their graves and pranced into the auditorium.

Ha, ha.

How funny that Ms. O’Donnell didn’t know where “separation of church and state” was written in the Constitution.

Heads You Lose, Tails You Lose

Chrissie could not contain himself, either. He giggled like a schoolgirl dreaming of her first kiss.

Meanwhile, back at the Titanic, Mickey Mouse, too, was giggling like a schoolgirl dreaming of her 13th kiss.

After the humiliating laughter had run its course, a slow-to-recover Chrissie, an attorney, said dimly: It is in the First Amendment.

Ms. O’Donnell was composed but aghast: “Let me clarify,” she said. “You’re telling me that ‘separation of church and state’ is in the First Amendment?”

Her point: The phrase “separation of church and state” is not in the Constitution, as Chrissie had suggested.

She was stunningly correct. Her opponent was entirely wrong.

And so after spending the first 90 percent of his story mooning Ms. O’Donnell for being so ignorant of the Constitution, the sheepish but unembarrassable Mickey Mouse grudgingly admitted in his penultimate paragraph:

“That is true.”

But, but, he hastily and stutteringly added, “the concept comes directly from the (First) amendment’s first phrase, ‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.’”

Huh?

You see, even when the left-wing is wrong, it is right because it controls the keyboard.

Ms. O’Donnell said nothing about “shall make no law.” Her statement, which Mickey Mouse preferred to ignore, centered on “separation.”

Mice hearing must diminish at a certain age.
