Way back during the campaign I reported on the claims by her former Campaign Manager that Christine O’Donnell regularly raider her campaign coffers for personal expenses. Now that the DOJ is investigating her for this, she made her second most significant claim. When said she was not a witch, I believed her. She doesn’t even know what witchcraft is. From what she described, what she dabbled with in high school was Satanism, not witchcraft. I do not have the same confidence in her current claim that she is innocent, because she seems to be one of those many Republicans who insists on strict piety codes for everyone else, but thinks her own personal righteousness exempts her from following them herself.
Christine O’Donnell, who famously denied that she was a witch, said on Thursday that she was innocent of any financial irregularities connected to her failed campaign for the U.S. Senate.
Speaking on morning talk shows, O’Donnell, who rode a wave a "tea party" movement unhappiness to wrest the Senate nomination from the candidate favored by Delaware’s GOP, rejected accusations that campaign funds were misused. She also blamed liberal political enemies for persecuting her.
"There’s been no impermissible use of campaign funds whatsoever," O’Donnell insisted on ABC.
"You have to look at this whole thug-politic tactic for what it is," she said.
The Associated Press was the first to report that the O’Donnell campaign was being investigated by the U.S. attorney’s office in Delaware. In her television appearances, O’Donnell said she learned of the probe from media reports and that she found it strange that she, her staff or her lawyers were never told of the investigation prompted by complaints from the nonpartisan group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington… [emphasis added]

At least we can be thankful that she is not Senator O’Dingbat (R-GA)

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
What?!? Another right-wing crook? I’m shocked!
Really? 😉
She had no other income except campaign donations so how did she pay her rent, electric, phone, groceries and all the other items needed to live. I recall her disclosure stated she had I believe somewhere around $5800 dollars in income and someone who looks like they eat really good can not survive on that amount of income.
Maybe she was selling it on the side. After all she just another Republican Fascist Nazi who sold her soul to her Master Satan.
AP, she claims to have paid rent to her campaign, but that is clearly a lie.
If she needs money to live on she could masturbate on PPV. I don’t know that she would make enough to cover the fines but it would be at least some exposure to keep her name in the news.
I don’t think she knows how. 😉
