Did I just see Christine ODonnell admit to a federal crime ?

COD was on Bill Maher and said that her witch problems were self induced because of an ad (the "I"m not a witch" ad) that she never approved !

Watch the end of this ad. Her approval is not a voice over stuck on at the end.
She may not have intended it to be used after it was made, but I seriously doubt it.

If she floats, she's a witch. If she drowns, she's not.

I know that sounds odd, but the law simply requires that the candidate state his/her name and state that they approved the ad. She did that. Whether she had her fingers crossed or whatever is irrelevant. She complied with the law. She looks like an idiot now saying she didn't approve it, but we already knew she was an idiot.

Hell, she went through five campaign treasurers, alone. Fact is, her campaign paid for the spot, end of story.

She's a Yithian as described by HP Lovecraft in The Color Out Of Time. The Yithians were extraterrestrials who could project their minds into the bodies of others. That's what she meant when she sad "I'm you." I always found that expression "I'm you" to be extremely bizarre and creepy. Or maybe witches can also engage in forms of possession.

she first said "we put out that stupid ad." Then she said she didn't approve it and it was leaked. Which of course is nonsense. She didn't approve it, but went in front of a camera and read the words????
