Teletubbies are cute, and genuinely pure, and best of all, they don't say as many stupid things.
The political right has a fascination with telegenic candidates, apparently giving their physical appearance greater importance than their other qualifications, or lack of them.
The candidates' ignorance, and their stupidity, and their lack of the intellectual curiosity to research information prior to speaking, are appalling. An example would be Christine O'Donnell, who recently happily, mindlessly babbled criticism that President Obama had violated the U.S. Constitution by granting titles of nobility to the various administration Czars.
Never mind that Czar is a quasi-slang term for advisers, most often used by the press, but sometimes used by political figures, dating back to the 1930's and 1940's in the Roosevelt administration.
O'Donnell, who has delusions about being a legitimate contender for the Senate, representing Delaware, is apparently unaware that the term Czar is not used in the context of an actual patent of nobility. I am amazed that O'Donnell hasn't criticized Obama for creating RUSSIAN nobility, rather than good old fashioned AMERICAN nobility.
