Christine O’Donnell acted the “Troublemaker” during her short interview on the Piers Morgan Show Wednesday night.. The interview was short because O’Donnell refused to answer his questions and ended the interview, stating that he was rude and that she wanted to talk about what she wanted to talk about.
The topic Christine O’Donnell didn’t want to discuss was about gay marriage. Piers Morgan said that the topic was in her book and was obviously taken aback when she accused him of being rude.
Christine O’Donnell really needs to do better than this. Part of going to Washington must include basic understanding of what’s makes our government work. She really isn’t prepared on the most basic of levels. Ms. ODonnell is correct. Senators don’t have to memorize the Constitution, but they should have some basic knowledge of key ideas.
Christine O’Donnell really needs study harder. According to the Wall Street Journal:
Ms. O’Donnell attacked her Democratic opponent, Chris Coons, for insisting that public schools teach evolution but not “intelligent design,” which posits that life forms are too complex to have evolved through natural processes and must have been created by a conscious being such as God. Mr. Coons, the New Castle County executive, said that public schools could not teach intelligent design or similar theories, like creationism and creation science, because they were “religious doctrine” rather than science.
“That is a blatant violation of our Constitution,” Ms. O’Donnell said. “The Supreme Court has always said it is up to the local communities to decide their standards.”
That’s generally true–except when it comes to teaching religion-based nonscientific theories of human origin. In 1968, the high court struck down an Arkansas law prohibiting instruction in evolution. In 1987, the court invalidated a Louisiana statute requiring that “creation science,” an antecedent to intelligent design, be taught alongside evolution.
Ms. O’Donnell likened Mr. Coons’s position on evolution to those of “our so-called leaders in Washington” who have rejected the “indispensible principles of our founding.”
She lacks facts on such a basic level, it makes her unqualified for office. I felt sorry for her watching the video. We are aware that the words in the Constitution do not say ‘separation of church and state.’ However the courts have continued to reaffirm this interpretation. Jefferson’s writings also support separation.
Much has been said in recent weeks about women–in particular women who have the unutterable gall to go in to politics. Christine O’Donnell has been the butt of many a joke as well as a little known young woman named Krystal Ball who is running for Congress in the 1st District.
Christine O’Donnell should just stop talking about the witch thing. Who cares? No one really thinks she was a witch. She was a kid. Kids experiment with stuff. How do you ever learn if you aren’t confronted with a few things where you have to decide if this is something you should be doing or not.
O’Donnell’s problem is she hasn’t renounced any of her ideas she espoused as a young person. She doesn’t seem to have refined any of them. Her remarks on masturbation will follow her to the ends of the earth. She needs to kill them off. She needs to say the point of going to the Senate is not to be self serving or something…anything. She needs to take contol and not let those remarks from 12 years ago define her and what she is all about.
Leno was rude. Letterman was crude about Sarah Palin’s daugher, Willow. Real crude.
Krystal Ball’s relative anonymity has gotten a shot in the arm, although probably not the kind she wanted. Someone got hold of some pictures of her and her first husband and friends at a Christmas party, in some frat party type poses. Naturally the pictures went viral and local bloggers had a hayday, especially those of the opposing party. Krystal Ball was not deterred.
The bloggers who posted Ball’s party pictures apparently were never young themselves. They never acted out and they never had a good time. They are as disrespectful as Leno and Letterman. The women they disrespect are someone’s wife, mother, daughter, sister.
Like their politics, hate their politics but cut the dehumanizing crap out. Stick to the issues. Right now it just appears that there is a lot of one handed typing going on. It sounds like Bob Marshall’s Luv Canal Frat boys in a locker room.
And when you are old enough to be someone’s grandmother, you get to say these things without missing a beat. Grow up, boys.
Well, is Christine O’Donnell sure about that? I have sure seen some doggie teenagers.
From the Huffiington Post:
It all went down on a 2003 episode of “Scarborough Country,” which was “Morning Joe” before Mika and the Starbucks sponsorship, when the dude who hosted “The Grind” on MTV would just show up wearing a T-shirt and just start straight up opining at Joe Scarborough! It was a wild, more unrestrained time in American life, and Christine O’Donnell had a dream of throwing a wet towel on the whole thing
:
O’Donnell certainly has lofty ambitions. Is O’Donnell able to distinguish between kids who might listen to her and kids who aren’t? Does she realize that perhaps there needs to be more than one message? Tea Party People might want to consider getting a realist to represent them for a Senator from Delaware.
I wonder if she is now making the same claim now she’s a woman in her 40’s?
Much has been made of Christine O’Donnell’s surprising win over the former governor of Delaware, Mike Castle for Republican senate candidate. It appeared that even O’Donnell was surprised herself. Why has so much been made over O’Donnell rather than the others, especially the guy with the porno email? Simple. Christine O’Donnell has a paper/video trail a mile long. She is not obscure.
O’Donnell is an attractive 41 year old woman who has appeared at least 22 times on Bill Maher’s show, Politically Incorrect. O’Donnell was the Christian Activist on the panel. Additionally, she ran at least once against Joe Biden for senator. She has been a spokesperson for Concerned Women for American, and she was the president and founder of S.A.L.T. (Savior’s Alliance for Lifting the Truth). People know too much about her.
