Guided by professional journalist and sometime comedian, Bill Maher, the mainstream media have posed a thought-provoking question: Is Christine O’Donnell a witch? And if so, is she a good witch or a bad witch? If you’ve ever seen “The Wizard of Oz,” you understand the validity of the question.

As a news-reading, news-watching American, you can’t escape “The Great Christine O’Donnell Witchcraft Debate” now taking place across the country. It all started when Bill Maher, who is a little light on news these days, pulled an eleven year-old clip of O’Donnell talking about witchcraft on his old Comedy Central Show, “Politically Incorrect.”

The clip has made the Tea Party darling and Republican Senate nominee from Delaware a household name. It’s also been perfect fodder for a biased liberal media to make fun of a real person, who apparently hasn’t had many of life’s advantages or didn’t marry well enough. No fortune from Senator John Kerry’s wife Teresa Heinz, here. (Heinz is the widow of U.S. Senator H. John Heinz III.  Where are those socialist wealth distributionalists when you need them, eh?)

In the 1999 video clip, a green O’Donnell sports some bad hair and chirps about a friend who, apparently, was into witchcraft. “I dabbled into witchcraft. I never joined a coven,” O’Donnell said. “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,” she recalled. “We went to a movie and then had a little midnight picnic on a satanic altar.”

O’Donnell has since joked about the controversy. “How many of you didn’t hang out with questionable folks in high school?” O’Donnell said Sunday. “There’s been no witchcraft since. If there was, Karl Rove would be a supporter now.”
