Bill Maher's witch hunt — and the missing context for O'Donnell's remarks  —  Narcissism.  Blackmail.  Distortion.  All wrapped in his trademark smirk of pallor.  Yes, it's tired old liberal “comedian” Bill Maher trying to get Senate GOP primary candidate Christine O'Donnell to come …

John / Power Line:
Christine O'Donnell's Career, RIP  —  Christine O'Donnell's campaign went off the rails today when Bill Maher announced that he has previously-unseen clips of O'Donnell from the late 1990s when she appeared several times on his show.  In one clip, she says that she once “dabbled into witchcraft.”

Christine O'Donnell In Oct. 1999: ‘I Dabbled Into Witchcraft’  —  Before she stole the hearts of tea party activists, Delaware GOP Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell was best known for her regular and bizarre punditry on 22 different episodes of Politically Incorrect.

Patterico's Pontifications:
Christine O'Donnell in 1999: I Dabbled in Witchcraft  —  Oh, come on.  She was young:  —  You think any of this might show up in a campaign commercial? … I also like the bit about how she wouldn't lie to the Nazis at the front door to save Anne Frank.
Matt DeLong / Washington Post:
Christine O'Donnell in 1999: ‘I dabbled into witchcraft’  —  The story of Christine O'Donnell's past got a little stranger Friday.  Bill Maher — on whose former show, “Politically Incorrect,” O'Donnell appeared repeatedly in the late 1990s — showed a previously unaired clip from Oct. 29 …

The whining of the rich  —  Through Glenn Reynolds, whither I wandered because of Mark's post about something else entirely, I came upon this truly amazing pasticcio of mendacity, ignorance, and small-minded cupidity.  It's worth a close look because the author is a law professor …
