That seems to be the thrust of reports over Christine O’Donnell’s past references to dabbling in witchcraft before she became the Republican nominee for Governor of Delaware. You have to love this country. Who needs an immigration debate when Delaware is debating whether one of its major candidates “is or was ever a practicing witch?” If true, this could prove an advantage with Sarah Palin going to Iowa to campaign this week. Palin has had prior experience with people working in the area since she has been given a protection from witchcraft. This could make for an interesting first meeting between President Palin and Governor O’Donnell. Indeed, Palin could argue that she is the only expected presidential candidate currently able to meet with O’Donnell without fear.
In the meantime, Republicans are asking if O’Donnell’s Democratic opponent Chris Coon is a failed bearded Marxist. If both allegations are true, voters appear to be favoring the alleged former Marxist over the alleged former witch by eleven points.
We previously discussed O’Donnell’s rather expansive definition of adultery. However, the video below has surfaced from appearances that O’Donnell made on Bill Maher’s “Politically Incorrect” show during which O’Donnell says that she dated a witch and went to coven meetings with blood-soaked alters.
“I dabbled into witchcraft — I never joined a coven. But I did, I did. … I dabbled into witchcraft. I hung around people who were doing these things. I’m not making this stuff up. I know what they told me they do . . . One of my first dates with a witch was on a satanic altar, and I didn’t know it. I mean, there’s little blood there and stuff like that. … We went to a movie and then had a midnight picnic on a satanic altar.”
That quote does allow some wiggle room in that O’Donnell at worse was a “pre-coven witch” or maybe even a “witch-wannabe.” Of course, the important thing is not the date with a witch or the evening spent around an alter with blood. It is that she is currently not a practicing witch and has no immediate plans to enlist the support of the wiccan lobby.
By the way, having a witch as a governor might have its advantages when suddenly the governor of Maryland’s head shrinks during coastal fishing negotiations. Of course, if Gingrich wins, she will have to be more specific about calling for an “eye of Newt” to avoid criminal complications.
With Halloween around the corner, this is going to produce an explosion of Christine O’Donnell costumes.
Update: O’Donnell cancelled a bunch of interviews over the weekend but did speak to a high school group and dismissed the story as basically a case of hanging out with bad kids in high school.

You have to be kidding me, right? Now if it starts with a B and rhymes with witch I think you’d be correct. But then again, I may just be playing with myself……lol
Elaine, any suggestion on rhythm in rhyming?
She’ll probably eventually claim she tried it but didn’t actually impale.
I don’t know if I’d use the word failed so much as the word redirected.
Seems to me like O’Donnell might have cast a spell on Republican voters in Delaware. If so, I’d say she’s a successful witch. On the other hand, if she didn’t, I’d say the Delaware Republicans who voted for her in the recent primary are the ones who have failed.
O’Donnell is not a failed with, she is a failed human being. I just hope the sensible voters of Delaware will recognize that she is a threat to anyone who believes in the separation of church and state and a threat to every woman in the state.
Aren’t witches female? What is she really trying to tell us?

==============================================================
Most people not familiar with the practice of witchcraft think that, usually because female witches are in the majority. But males are also called witches. The word “Wicce” pronounced (Wik-kay) designates a female Witch and “Wicca” pronounced (Wik-kah) designates a male Witch.
In other words, Christine O’Donnell has a very good working knowledge of witchcraft … better than the majority of her fellow Americans.
… correction: “Christine O’Donnell has a very good working knowledge of witchcraft … ” should read: “Christine O’Donnell has a very good working knowledge of the Craft …”
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/19/sharron-angle-slips-harry-reid-take-out_n_730770.html I think Sharon Angle is even scarier, and she also has a better chance of winning.
I think even the men are witches….the term warlock only derived from the TV show Bewitched…..I was to young to play Darren……..but then again the first one was too gay…so they dropped him for the next one…..
that is a great painting by John Waterhouse….
“And in fact Thomas Jefferson said it’s good for a country to have a revolution every 20 years.” (from the link Swm posted above …quoting Angle)
Such balderdash … these blimpheads have no idea what they are quoting.
Jefferson was serving as Minister to France (1785 to 1789)at the time of that quote … here is what he really said and to whom he said it. In context, not teabagger speak:
To Col. William S. Smith (serving at the legation in London).– “Wonderful is the effect of impudent and persevering lying. The British ministry have so long hired their gazetteers to repeat and model into every form lies about our being in anarchy that the world has at length believed them, the English nation has believed them, and what is more wonderful, we have believed them ourselves! Yet where does this anarchy exist? Where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of Massachusetts? And can history produce an instance of rebellion so honorably conducted? I say nothing of its motives. They were founded in ignorance, not wickedness. God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all and always well-informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. We have had thirteen States independent for eleven years. There has been one rebellion. That comes to one rebellion in a century and a half for each State. What country before ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon, and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.” (Nov. 13, 1787. MR 6:372)
AY,
The term warlock to a witch means “oath breaker” and is thus an insult.
Karl Rove, political mastermind for former President George W. Bush, said Sunday that Christine O’Donnell, the Tea Party insurgent who won an upset victory in Delaware for the GOP Senate nomination, “can’t simply ignore” the controversy stirred over the disclosure that she “dabbled in witchcraft” and has to find a way to “explain it and put it in its most sympathetic light and move on.”

Blouise,
None of the Wiccans (practicing or otherwise) I’ve ever known called it “a satanic altar” or took dates there (I know the one I dated always just wanted to go to Italian Restaurants and maybe the movies). I think perhaps she knows just knows more about “The Craft” than most Americans.

Wiccan Community Upset With O’Donnell, Calls Witchcraft Comments “Teaching Moment”
As much as I enjoy Creedence, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins is where it’s at. I’m just waiting for some Donavon.
Whelp, did anybody see any sparks a’flyin’ from hern fanger tips?
FFLEO,
My husband’s favorite right after Scotch And Soda
Can we just burn her at the stake and been done with it?
And “be” done with it. By the way, in reference to Karl Rove’s comments, precisely how does one explain witchcraft in “its most sympathetic light”?
Mike A.
I hope you’re a fan of Monty Python.
O’Donnell won the Republican nomination for the Senate——Joe Biden’s old seat. She’s not in the governor’s race.
It’s interesting that Palin didn’t run for Ted Steven’s old seat in Alaska, but it might of dampened all the moneymaking speechifying that’s lining Sarah’s pockets these days.
Both of these girls are are nearly past their “sell by” date. That jug of milk looks perfectly good sitting on the fridge shelf. It’s only after you take off the lid that you notice the smell.
If someone burned her WITH the steak during a campaign fundraising barbie–and along with caribou barbie–that could look like a ‘fortunate’ er, unfortunate accident…
FF Leo,
Don’t forget to–accidentally, of course–grill an eye of Newt while you’re at the “barbie.”
I tells youse haze de wrung steak. That place dat de burnt them womenns was Massa Chussess,
You all are cold….cold blooded…..I like it….
Butterfly McQueen,
No “witches” were ever burned in Salem, Massachusetts. Those accused of being witches were hanged–except for Giles Corey who was crushed to death.
Elaine,
Thanks for the Monty Python link. I LOVE those guys.
Poor libs/leftist media creeps. They finally have a witch to hunt and she is retired.
Isn’t Butterfly McQueen “Prissy” in Gone With the Wind….
AY,
You are correct sir! (to be read in the voice of Ed McMahon)

Tootie:
I think I see their logic:
Since Buddha and others were pud tuggers when in high school. They are Jerk Offs today.
Does that make sense to you? It seems to be the same line of reasoning they are using against O’Donnell.
Obviously I am making some assumptions, but when using logic you sometimes have to. For example I am assuming Buddha is a male and that he has the necessary equipment. Now if that were not true then my logic would be flawed. If he were a female then he could not tug his pud.
Do you see how logic works? You have to begin with the proper information. If Buddha is a female then my logic is flawed. Although he/she is still a jerk.
Hubris,
Does your mom know you use the computer without permission?
Well if you don’t like me making fun of your gal O’Donnell for her stupidity, you really aren’t going to like me making fun of her stupid criminality. Which is not to be confused with your criminal stupidity.
Christine O’Donnell Hit With FEC Complaint Alleging She Used Campaign Funds To Pay Rent
From the story:
“The complaint is based largely on a sworn statement by O’Donnell’s former campaign finance consultant, David Keegan. He says O’Donnell used campaign funds to pay her rent in both March and April 2009, then listed the spending as ‘reimbursement expenses.’
The complaint also accuses O’Donnell of using campaign funds to pay for gas, meals and a bowling outing.
‘Christine O’Donnell is clearly a criminal, and like any crook she should be prosecuted,’ explained CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan in a statement. ‘Ms. O’Donnell has spent years embezzling money from her campaign to cover her personal expenses. Republicans and Democrats don’t agree on much these days, but both sides should agree on one point: thieves belong in jail not the United States Senate.’”
Kind of like you’ve been embezzling from your cat’s dirty litter box as a substitute for brains, Hubris.
Hubris,
“…I am assuming Buddha is a male and that he has the necessary equipment.”
Yes, he has a brain in his head.
See … ol’ Merc went porno … they always do
Lose the logic argument, go for the porn … it never fails … boring
However Tootie has given all the Fake Christians a gift … a living breathing witch … gotta love those conservatives … now I wonder what kind of tea she brews ….
O’Donnell can’t stand the heat–so she’s going to stay out of the kitchen.
Following Palin’s Playbook, O’Donnell Vows ‘I’m Not Going To Do Any More National Media’ (Think Progress, 9/22/2010)
http://thinkprogress.org/2010/09/22/odonnell-no-media/
Excerpt:
Delaware GOP Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell gave a rare — and apparently her last — national TV interview last night to Fox News host Sean Hannity, to whom “so many Republicans” have turned to maintain a “shred of credibility” while refusing to talk to real journalists. In the interview, O’Donnell swore off more national media interviews, saying it was completely “off the table because that’s not going to help me get votes.” “I’m not going to do any more national media,” O’Donnell said, giving the dubious explanation that local reporters “can’t get to me” because national media representatives are clogging her phone lines:
HANNITY: Does that mean — for example, all the talk about well, you’ve got to do this national show, that national show. … Is that off the table for you?
O’DONNELL: It’s off the table because that’s not going to help me get votes. I instead want to go to as many town hall forums, as many candidate forums, as many church picnics that I can fit into my schedule, so that I can meet the voters. [...]
I’m not going to do any more national media because that – – this is my focus. Delaware is my focus and the local media is my focus. And it’s frustrating because I’ve let the local media know they’re my priority but our phones are ringing off the hook, that they can’t get to me. So this — it’s actually become an interference with the campaign.
O’Donnell is merely following the path paved by Former Alaksa Gov. Sarah Palin, who advised O’Donnell to “speak through Fox News” and to avoid other national media, because they are merely “seeking ur destruction.” O’Donnell thanked Palin for that “great piece of advice,” saying, “that’s exactly what we’re doing.” Indeed, she abruptly canceled two Sunday show appearances last weekend, and has requested restrictions on media organizations covering her debates, saying, “we’re asking them to not allow media to attend or at least to keep them in the back.” She can also look to other GOP candidates who came up through the tea party movement, such as Rand Paul and Sharron Angle, who have refused to answer tough questions, hurling accusations of media bias whenever a reporter dares to ask them a non-softball question.
Moreover, apparently oblivious to irony, from her safe perch at Fox, O’Donnell attacked her Democratic opponent for not attending a tea party event, accusing him of “ducking the difficult forum” in order to “only go to the friendly forum.”
