Christine O’Donnell Witch Doll


Hot on the heels of her “I am not a witch” campaign ad, and just in time for Halloween, Herobuilders.com is offering Christine O’Donnell witch dolls for the collectible price of $39.95. The site also offers an “Executive” version of the doll, in a smart business suit, for $29.95. If you live in a cave, the doll is a spoof of O’Donnell’s now-infamous claim to have “dabbled in witchcraft” as a teenager.

The dolls just went on sale today, so when we contacted Herobuilders owner Emil Vicale, he was shocked to learn that his creation had already been featured in The New York Daily News. While he didn’t have any sales figures yet, he did give us some indications of the doll’s possible success.

“I don’t have any sales figures yet,” Vicale said, “but one woman is buying a hundred of them if she’s in a red dress, so we’re putting her in a red dress now. I think she’s going to be a fantastic seller.”

Vicale surmises that the red dress order is from a supporter, but the market for the witch doll is more likely to be “a gag gift to send their Republican friends and family.”

2. Can we expect a Paladino as a Soprano doll, complete with baseball bat
and brass knuckles next?

3. $39.95...
is pretty pricey for “a gag gift to send their Republican friends and family...”

I certainly can't afford it, let alone send "gag gifts"....

6. Has been at least since runnyraygun.
That was the first election I was old enough to vote..I turned 18 that Sept, I was young and naive, but I saw through that senile old bastard the first round of ads. Not that Im any genious or anything, I guess that is what makes it all so ridiculous that even an 18 yr old hillbilly could see teh stoopid.
