Will Christine O'Donnell Step Up on 'Dancing With the Stars'? Stay Tuned, She Says
By Politics Daily Staff - Politics DailyChristine O'Donnell didn't make it as a conservative, tea party-backed Senate candidate in Delaware. But can she cut the rug on "Dancing With the Stars"? O'Donnell, who once acknowledged dabbling in witchcraft as a teenager, says she's been approached by the ABC hit program about being a contestant on its 12th season. The show, which famously featured Bristol Palin last year, will announce its new lineup next week, according to the New York Daily News. On her Facebook page, O'Donnell mulled the DWTS offer she said she'd received, but expressed doubts about her ability as a hoofer. "I just ...
Bill Maher on Giffords Shooting: 'NRA Should Just Change Their Name to Assassin's Lobby' [VIDEO]
By Mary Phillips-Sandy - AOL NewsBill Maher made a memorable appearance on "The Tonight Show" Tuesday night, telling Jay Leno that the National Rifle Association "should just change their name to the Assassin's Lobby." Maher went on to say that he was "tired of hearing about the Second Amendment. If you love guns, just admit it, it's like a vice. It's like alcohol or drugs or sex addiction or gambling." The remarks came after Leno asked the "Real Time" host for his take on the recent Tucson, Ariz., shootings. "Tonight Show" audience members didn't seem to know how to react, exactly. In the clip below you can hear some very ...
Opinion: How About Eliot Spitzer for President?
By David Fagin - AOL News(Dec. 18) -- I finally got around to watching "Client 9 -- The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer," the documentary about the defrocked New York governor by Academy Award winner Alex Gibney. Like many, I assumed going in that the film was going to be a straight narrative, without any input from the Spitzer. Unlike many, I wasn't entirely surprised to see Spitzer himself facing the camera, talking openly about his downfall. Whatever you say about Eliot Spitzer, one thing is for certain: The man has chutzpah. As New York's attorney general, he went after the centuries-old boys' club that said the ...

Who Will Slip Into Bernie Madoff's Slippers?
By Mara Gay - AOL News
(Oct. 21) -- Not everyone can walk a mile in Bernie Madoff's shoes. But soon, one lucky bidder will be able to wear the monogrammed slippers of the disgraced investor, which will be auctioned off by the U.S. Marshals Service next month. The padded pair of velveteen, monogrammed slippers -- size 8 1/2 -- is one of more than 400 items seized from the Ponzi schemer and his wife, Ruth Madoff, bound for the auction block. Buyers can also bid on a 10.5-carat diamond engagement ring, a Steinway grand piano and a bull statuette made out of bronze, all formerly owned by the most infamous family in ...
Christine O'Donnell: 'I'm Not a Witch'
By David Knowles - AOL News
(Oct. 4) -- Rest assured, it is a line that has never before been spoken in a modern American political campaign. In a new ad, Delaware Republican senatorial candidate Christine O'Donnell begins her address to viewers by assuring them that she is not -- despite her admission in the late 1990s to talk show host Bill Maher that she had "dabbled into witchcraft" -- an actual witch. "I'm not a witch," a bemused O'Donnell says, looking into the camera. "I'm nothing you've heard. I'm you." O'Donnell's attempt to distance herself from her past by directly confronting the controversy in an ad ...
Could Christine O'Donnell Actually Win the Senate Seat in Delaware?
By Andrea Stone - Politics DailyMasturbation, witchcraft and, most recently, her rejection of Hare Krishna due to a love of meatballs, have dominated coverage about Christine O'Donnell since her stunning upset victory in the Republican primary in Delaware. But beyond the dismissive headlines and the late-night jokes, could the Tea Party favorite actually win the Senate seat that once belonged to Vice President Joe Biden? The initial reaction was a resounding No. "Not a viable candidate for any office in the state of Delaware," sniffed state Republican Party Chairman Tom Ross after his choice, moderate Congressman Mike ...
Christine O'Donnell Oxford University Mystery Solved (Sort Of)
By David Knowles - AOL News(Sept. 28)--Is it a case of simple resume padding, an innocent error, or something worse? A couple of weeks ago, Surge Desk writers Carl Franzen and Lance Gould noticed something odd about the LinkedIn page of GOP senatorial candidate Christine O'Donnell. The Tea Party candidate had, under a heading describing her education, listed University of Oxford as one of the places she had taken a course titled "Post Modernism in the New Millennium." But after making calls to Oxford officials, Surge Desk could not find any evidence of a course by that name ever having been offered by the esteemed ...
Roger Ebert Tweets Rebuttal to Christine O'Donnell's Evolution Comments
By not in system - AOL News(Sept. 27) -- From witches to monkeys. No, it's not time for another "Wizard of Oz" retrospective, but you could be forgiven for thinking as much given the amount of attention surrounding current Delaware GOP senatorial candidate Christine O'Donnell's prior life as a TV pundit or, more specifically, a few of her key controversial comments about said topics. Over the weekend, Bill Maher aired a 12-year-old clip of O'Donnell on his previous show "Politically Incorrect," in which she argued that "evolution is a myth" and asks "Why aren't monkeys still evolving into humans?" To answer her ...
