Brent Bozell has come out to say that conservatives shouldn’t be wasting their time defending COD.
Bozell, who is president of the Media Research Center, a conservative media watchdog organization, said in a column on CNN.com that COD’s reaction to the questions posed by Piers Morgan was “downright bizarre.”
The questions Piers Morgan put forward may have been trite, even seemingly silly, but given to whom they were being posed, they were not inappropriate. He asked if in her heart O’Donnell has committed lust.
For those who haven’t been paying attention to the train wreck that is Christine O’Donnell, she walked off the set of Piers Morgan’s show the other night because she didn’t like the questions being asked of her. Then this morning, she accused Morgan of sexual harassment. She is a joke. We know it, and now hopefully the entire country is realizing it.
He asked her views on gay marriage. He asked her views on witchcraft and on masturbation. Titillating questions? Sure, but O’Donnell has staked out public opinions on all these fronts and it is those public statements she’s made that invite questions like his. She had to know she’d be asked these things when she accepted the interview invitation. If she didn’t then she’s living in a parallel universe. Moreover, Morgan was neither Chris Matthews rude nor Keith Olbermann offensive. He simply asked the questions.
Piers Morgan on O’Donnell walkoutO’Donnell had no right to reject the questions. Even worse, in declaring them inappropriate she made an ass of herself
The next part is the best:
She is a buffoon.
O’Donnell had no right to walk off the set. But in a sense I’m glad she did — if it means she’ll never come back. Conservatives do themselves no favors by defending this woman and she is doing conservatives no favors by going on national television programs to talk about — God only knows what she’ll talk about, or not talk about, next. Please, Christine O’Donnell, call it a day.
Unfortunately, we know that she’ll be back, perhaps not on CNN, but somewhere (I heard that QVC is looking for someone). Time to rev up that broom, Chrissie-pooh, and fly back to New Jersey. And take Evan Q. and Matt Moran with you.
