Christine O’Donnell Finally Finds Her Gravy Train

Filed in Delaware by on December 8, 2010

After years of operating on the fringes of the wing nut welfare system, Christine O’Donnell has finally hit the jackpot. Dimwitted 3-time losers are the new hotness. She’s already got a book deal to have someone ghostwrite her deepest thoughts. Now she’ll continue to extort money from her gullible dupes fans with a new PAC.

Former Delaware Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell is forming an issues-oriented political action committee.

O’Donnell said late Tuesday after a tea party gathering in northern Virginia that she wants to start the PAC as soon as possible to become more vocal and run ads on issues such as health care reform and taxes. She’s calling it “Christine PAC” for now.

She already has a good chunk of change left over from her Senate run – she raised $7.3M but spent only $6.1M. She was saving that money for “legal challenges.” Any guesses as to how much she’s paying herself? No wonder tax cuts for the rich have become a big priority for her.

    I guess she is too big now for “Don” Carper to have her meet with an unfortunate accident. So… what’s the downstream? She gets a paycheck and throws some spare change to wingnuts in down ticket races? Does Teabag supporter, Kovach have his hand out yet?

    It sure would be nice to have a liberal version of this?

    Girlfriend O’donnell needs to save her $$$$

    Club Fed is looming on the horizon and Shirley/bannister is VERY expensive.

    Question?? can she write and sell and book and make a profit on illegal activities, I think not

    St. Martin’s press needs to reassess her deal

    Comedy comes in threes. Pearl Bailey, Minnie Pearl, and Christine’s announcement of her PAC, which is predictable and not funny, but also some other non-sequitur.

    I knew Pearl Bailey and she is NO Pearl Bailey!

    welfare queen

    The purpose of the PAC is to provide O’Donnell with a nonprofit orginazation through which to funnel her unused campaign funds. She satisfies the FEC requirements and is free to live off the PAC money indefinately.

    True Grift, starring Christine O’Donnell.

    At least she paid her staff this time.

    She will be back for Carper, she will need the income by the time that rolls around. Besides she can attest to the corruption in politics; firsthand
