Once again Christine O'Donnell blames everyone but herself for this investigation
I'm starting to think she has serious mental issues because this has been her status quo since she started running for office - Any trouble that surrounds her usually was caused by some other person, many times their names are a mystery to all of us. Although this time she also lumps VP Joe Biden in with these mystery people too.

The rest of the story you know - insider sources says that the FBI are now investigating her FEC fraud charges. Wilmington News Journal did a good indepth story about what this lunatic is doing now.

Failed U.S. Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell's campaign is the subject of a federal criminal probe, a source with knowledge of the investigation confirmed Wednesday.

<<<snip>>>

Within days of losing the Nov. 2 election, O'Donnell claims, "three high-ranking people in the Delaware Democratic Party" contacted her independently to say they would launch "false investigations, false accusations and false lawsuits" to smear her.




"We were warned that the Delaware political establishment, both Democratic and Republican, were pulling out all of the stops to crush my political career," she said.

O'Donnell claims Vice President Joe Biden, her 2008 Senate opponent, may be using his position to influence a federal investigation into her campaign.

"I'm not directly pointing the finger at Biden, but certainly the Democratic political establishment, which is led by Biden," she said.

O'Donnell would not reveal the identity of the three Democratic Party insiders



I'm sure Joe is having a good laugh about this. I think he has bigger fish to fry then some dingbat from delaware.

3. She was on the Today show...
...doing her best Palin imitation while failing to directly answer any questions about how she spent her money. According to her it's just a bunch of disgruntled former employees trying to stir trouble.

Just answer the questions, Christine. It ain't that hard.

8. Has she ever had a real job???
What exactly is her profession? It seems she is a professional candidate. Alvin Green, the recent "candidate" for senator in SC, is trying to enter that profession as well. He recently filed to run for president.

18. I was once curious enough about that
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_O'Donnell

occupation: political commentator, marketing consultant
In addition to running for the Senate, O'Donnell has worked as a public relations and marketing consultant and has provided commentary on major television networks, including the Fox News Channel and CNN.

She has a B.A. in English literature with concentration in communications.

Work:
3 months for the anti-pornography organization Enough is Enough.
2 years: working in the communications office of the Republican National Committee (RNC)
1 year: spokesperson for Concerned Women for America
Moved to L.A. to found the "The Savior's Alliance for Lifting the Truth (SALT)," serving as its president. Was this a paid gig?
Can't tell.
In 2003, moved back to Delaware to work for the Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI), a non-profit conservative publisher of educational materials.
Fired from there. Donnell had used company resources for her own media consulting work while on their time.
After leaving ISI, O'Donnell began doing freelance media consulting for non-profit organizations and other clients. She founded the Catholic Advocacy Network and again began making media appearances.
Ultimately ran three times for a U.S. Senate seat, in 2006, 2008 and 2010.




"Running for the Senate" appears to be her main gig.

And of course, now she is writing a book about her life! :rofl:

9. Follow The Money...
Watch for the Christine O'Donnell Defense Fund to get rolling any day now. The poor thing is being picked on...it's a conspriacy I tell ya...send in your money so I can spend it defending what I did with the last money you sent me. :rofl:

All this loser sees are camera lights and a chance to play "poor little thing" again.

Kudos to CREW for pushing the investigation forward but I expect she'll try to make this a political game and play the victim card early and often.

13. That's put her man-pants on
That's what she told Mike Castle, which seems to have offended about 90% of the folks here in Delaware. Unfortunately only 10% turned out for the republican primary so he was screwn.

14. I believe her.
Because, you know, people ALWAYS call you to TELL YOU that their going to start false charges and investigations against you.

"Hey! Christine! Just a heads up, we're going to make up some stuff about you and there's nothing you can do about it. Nana nana boo boo!" :silly:
