Following Revelation Of ‘Witchcraft’ Comment, O’Donnell Cancels Sunday Show Appearances

As ThinkProgress reported, last night on his HBO show, Bill Maher aired a clip from an Oct. 29, 1999 show of Politically Incorrect, in which Republican senate candidate Christine O’Donnell revealed that she “dabbled into witchcraft.” As O’Donnell’s comments begin to attract national attention, it appears the tea party candidate is trying to avoid media scrutiny. She was schedule to appear on CBS’ Face the Nation tomorrow, but host Bob Schieffer has tweeted that O’Donnell canceled:



O’Donnell isn’t even heeding her consigliere Sarah Palin’s advice, who urged her this week to “speak through Fox News.” O’Donnell was scheduled to appear on Fox News Sunday tomorrow, but has canceled that appearance as well.

Diane Banister, whose PR firm booked the Sunday show appearances, told the AP in an email that “O’Donnell canceled so that she could attend a Republican campaign event Sunday in Delaware’s Sussex County.”

1. What will the fundies say? And Fox news?

I bet they gloss over this little factoid.

[Brickbat]

3. Oh, but you see, doing it and repenting it is even better than never doing it at all.

Because that way they can bring the news back to us that (a) doing it is evil, whatever "it" is, and (b) Jesus is teh awesome, because he'll forgive you if you ask, and take that taint away.

8. true dat

..Bristol is now a celebrity for sinning first asking forgivness later. Instead, it makes it look like God screws over those that are good all the time and have avoided (getting caught at making) bad choices.

10. Don't fundies believe you must confess all and be HEALED before repentance is

complete? The prospect of all this taking place over the next six weeks is delicious.

IMO Bill Maher is brilliant! Now that's what I'd call "demonizing" the opposition!

Maher said he'd re-air a new clip every week from Christine O'Donnell's 18 appearances on his show 20 years ago until O'Donnell comes on his show again. I hope she waits until after Election Day

4. She's a quitter just like Palin.

Quitter.

5. The Quitter Sisters

[Catshrink]

6. She's Quitterella Jr, or Little Quitterella.

[frogmarch]

7. Oh, shucky darn.

I'd have loved to have seen her on Face the Nation.

[Orsino]

9. I rather suspect that her witchcraft story was made up...

...and that she fears scrutiny.

But if she can't stand up to Bob Schieffer, how will she stand up to al-Qaeda?

[MichaelHarris]

11. She's working on a Sunday?

Man that's an eTicket on the short bus to hell.

12. BWAHAHAH

[theothersnippywshrub]

13. Probably meeting 24/7 with her criminal defense attorneys. She wants to stay out of prison

more than she wants to win the election.

[Karenina]

14. This isn't funny anymore...

:freak:

[Kingofalldems]

15. I wonder if she can drop out now---

so the guy she beat can get back in?
