The Christine O'Donnell campaign is a cruel joke
AP, via HuffPost:



DOVER, Del. — Republican Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell's campaign threatened a radio station with a lawsuit if it posted video of an interview with the tea party favorite on the Internet.

During the interview Tuesday on WDEL-AM, O'Donnell snapped her fingers and beckoned a spokesman to her side after the host of "The Rick Jensen Show" pressed her on how she would have handled the New Castle County budget differently from her Democratic opponent Chris Coons, who is the executive of the state's largest county.

Jensen told The Associated Press that O'Donnell said after the interview that she would sue if the video was released. O'Donnell campaign manager Matt Moran then called WDEL general manager Michael Reath, demanded that the station turn over the video and threatened to "crush" the station with a lawsuit if it did not comply, Reath said.

"He accused us of creating a story to garner ratings because we must be hurting since the (Philadelphia) Phillies were no longer on the air," Reath said, adding that Moran accused Jensen of "grandstanding." ...........(more)

She'll live on the "extra money" she has, for a good long while, and she;ll be the darling of some new FoxNews show, she'll write a "best seller", and 5 years down the road when some court rules against the improper use of that "extra money", she'll pay a small fine...of course she will continue to "run" so she can collect even more chump-money..

grifters know how to land on their feet.

7. bingo!
Although, it was funny to see her lose it when she couldn't answer a question.

BTW how dumb do you have to be to schedule to be on a radio interview show
and not want to answer questions?

5. Here's How Stupid This Is...
This was a radio broadcast that was PUBLICLY released the second she walked into the studio and they turned on the mikes. The show was podcasted that was put up on the station's website...THEY control the rights of transmission and distribution.

Sounds more like Christine the Teenage Witch is getting a big shell-shocked from all the media scrutiny of the past weeks...I'll bet she thought she would become a media darling (and still does)...how dare them to make her look stupid and silly...that's her job!
