(CNN) – Christine O’Donnell, former Delaware GOP Senate candidate, walked off the set of CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight” Wednesday when asked about her views on sexual abstinence and gay marriage.
“I’m not talking about policies. I’m not running for office,” O’Donnell said. “Ask Michele Bachmann what she thinks.”
I watched the interview and watched as Piers (I’m going to be a smartass) Morgan tried his best to make Christine O’Donnell look like retard and an idiot.
She walked off the interview? GOOD, he deserved it! Morgan did not treat her with respect, in fact, he was hard pressed not to show he glee asking her questions about her feelings about masturbation, gay marriage, and Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.
The only reason Morgan didn’t bring up the equally superfluous witchcraft statement on Maher’s show from 1999 is because she gathered her dignity about her and left.
It was that damn smirk on his face that got to me. Ah, but let’s face it CNN’s talking heads have never found a conservative woman or Tea Party supporter it didn’t try to belittle or besmirch.
The shame in all of this is that O’Donnell’s new book, Troublemaker discusses some interesting issues including how the GOP, Karl Rove in particular, helped deep six her Delaware campaign for Senate in 2010.
The mistake Rove made was to expose the fact that the truth is there is little difference between the Establishment Right and the Establishment Left. In an election where the possibility of gaining control of the Senate as well as the House was a real possibility his support should have been fully behind O’Donnell.
Instead he backed the Democrat in Delaware and the end result is the country is stuck with Reid and the Obama Progressives. Nice job Karl!
