O'Donnell clarifies remark Says 'tacky' did not refer to Bodenweiser sex-abuse charges
Christine ODonnell said a remark she made on talk radio this week about tacky election-year maneuvering was taken out of context and did not refer to the child sex-abuse charges filed Monday against a former Republican state Senate candidate.
ODonnell, the former tea-party U.S. Senate candidate, railed on a Sussex County talk radio station Tuesday about underhanded campaign tactics when, according to the station, she was prompted to discuss a 113-count indictment against former Georgetown Senate hopeful Eric Bodenweiser. He is accused of sexually assaulting a boy numerous times over a three-year period in the late 1980s, beginning when the boy was 10 years old.
Thats why these sort of charges are so, are so potent as political weapons, because they put a seed of doubt in someones mind, ODonnell said on WGMD-FM (92.7). If you do it as an October surprise, theres not enough time between when they throw the bomb and Election Day for the truth to really emerge. And its just, its tacky and its whats happened to our political system.

At a public fundraiser last month, ODonnell enthusiastically endorsed Bodenweisers candidacy in the Georgetown-area 19th Senate District after he defeated incumbent Republican Sen. Joe Booth in a hotly contested primary. She also donated $600 to Bodenweisers campaign.

"I am not a witch, I'm you."
That has to be the worst campaign video that I've ever seen. That was a tactical nuke to her own campaign, and she pushed the button herself.

(35,699 posts)3. Hmm, she made the remarks in response to a question about the indictment.
But her remarks were not about the indictment? Okay. I guess she was just having an independent conversation with herself then.

Her and Palin are the face of the Republican party. They want fame and money. They have no policies sans those that earn them fame and money. They are so fake and yet some people can't give these people enough time and money.

Maybe it was the way the boy was dressed. He asked for it?
At least he can't get Gods gift of pregnancy.
