As we suspected, the headlines from today’s Senate debate are brutal to Christine O’Donnell. The following headlines are from news organizations only (no blogs):
Guardian (UK): “Christine O’Donnell’s church and state gaffe makes voters laugh”
NPR: “Christine O’Donnell Stuns Audience With 1st Amendment Gaffe”
AOL News: “O’Donnell’s Constitution Question Floors Audience”
NBC News: “O’Donnell’s First Amendment confusion?”
This one’s my favorite CNN: “O’Donnell gets Coons for Constitutional Law 101”
Christine O’Donnell received a lesson on the Constitution at Delaware’s Widener Law School Tuesday, but unfortunately for the Republican Senate candidate it came during a debate with Democrat Chris Coons.
The Washington Post had a more neutral headline – “Separation of church and state questioned by Christine O’Donnell”
So you can enjoy the moment again:
And before all the O’Donnell fans get huffy, the O’Donnell campaign tried to make a clarification:
“In this morning’s WDEL debate, Christine O’Donnell was not questioning the concept of separation of church and state as subsequently established by the courts,” said campaign manager Matt Moran. “She simply made the point that the phrase appears nowhere in the Constitution.”
Yes, that’s Christine O’Donnell throwing the religious right under the bus AGAIN.
