Christen O'Donnell SNL New Witch Hunt (Video)

Christine O'Donnell is the new target of Saturday Night's Live latest witch hunt. Under the guise of comedy, SNL has a new political character to assassinate after Sarah Palin has lost her luster.  O'Donnell made a terrible ad in which she declares herself not to be a witch.

“'Hi, I am Christine O’Donnell and I am not a witch, I am nothing like you’ve heard,” SNL’s portrayal of O’Donnell – played by Kristen Wiig - says in the mock ad. “I am you, and just like you I have to constantly deny that I am not a witch,'” according to CNN.
 
SNL's latest attack is too easy. O'Donnell may be the darling of the Tea Party, but had she just ignored the Democrats attempt to use a teenage dalliance with witchcraft, she would have been much better off than to advertise herself in a campaign ad as "I am not a witch."

Of course, SNL got hold of it, and again O'Donnell tried to take the high road. She said on Twitter, "SNL skit was really funny... and I have to admit, her hair looked better than mine.”

How could Saturday Night Live resist making fun of a candidate who used a tactic Richard Nixon used when he said, "I am not a crook." Ridiculous as that was, O'Donnell repeated the mistake.

She is the new #SarahPalin, but #SNL has its own problems. They're not funny anymore.

And of course there is the little issue of her lying on her resume about the colleges she attended. And then there is the fact that she commented about how Nancy Pelosi is not a real Christian. O'Donnell has put herself in this mess.

But hey, let's be serious. Would you vote for her?

Seriously, Carla. You want to talk about lying. No, it's not all right for her to lie, but is it all right for Obama to have supported Acorn or hide from questioning in his dealing in Illinois' governor scandal. No Dem or liberal ever lies? Don't even go there, but thanks for the comment.

Carl since when did you start holding politicans to the truth???

Isn't that a little dishonesty on your part....I know just like the NOW gang its politics first with you guys and anything else is 2nd.

BTW....she has just as much of excutive experience as Obama.....in the libs book that should make her qualified to be president....lol

Darn liberal media calling her a witch.
Hey, somebody show me a link where the Media actually called her a witch.............

Yeah, just as I thought.
The right is soooooo stupid, they think comics on TV are Liberal Media.

I do feel sorry for her but she can only blame her foolish mouth. Blaming the media for her mistakes is a bigger mistake.

Just for Clarification, the Dems and liberal media didn't call her a witch. Bill Maher showed a clip of her on his old show, Politically incorrect, saying herself that she had once practiced witchcraft. It came out of her own mouth. She also said she couldn't understand why monkeys aren't still evolving into humans. So in her mind evolution is a myth, but Magic is real. Go figure.

Wait you mean the Jon Stewart show and Steven Corbert aren't part of the liberal main stream media....oh shap..my bad...lol

Other than changing faces is there really any difference between the content on those shows and the network news on NBC, CBS, ABC and CNN....not much.

I should have also included SNL..sorry...lol

This woman is everything wrong in America. She didn't want to work hard in school, didn't want to learn a trade, didn't want to serve her country in the military, didn't have the guts to start her own business, but thinks everyone should pay attention to what she says. People really should try to accomplish SOMETHING in their lives before claiming that they have the skills to be a leader. She makes herself ridiculous and anyone that thinks she is qualified to hold any kind of job besides receptionist, maybe.
john a. Oct 11, 2010, 10:29pm UTC
I agree totally with you Mary....oh..wait...are you talking about O'Donnell or Obama....lol
Matthew A. Oct 12, 2010, 5:38am UTC
The Sarah Palin of 2010...lol.
Kimberly Ripley Oct 12, 2010, 11:49am UTC
She will now likely become more known for the SNL sketch than for her place in politics.
john a. Oct 12, 2010, 7:29pm UTC
The Sara Palin of 2010...I expect she would wear that label with honor.

It could be worse...how do you think Obama feels being known as the Carter of 2010...lol....even Carter is smart enough to not like that one...lol
