CNN Walkout: Christine O’Donnell v. Piers Morgan!

New York – Former Delaware Tea Party senate candidate Christine O’Donnell may not be a witch, but she certainly seemed like she wanted to turn pompous talk show host Piers Morgan into a newt last night before she walked out of a TV interview.

O’Donnell was on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight to promote her book Troublemaker: Or How I Set the Republican Party Back 230 Years, and became obviously irritated when Morgan asked about her views on witchcraft and gay marriage. After some defensive remarks about those issues all being covered in the book (So why are you asking me about them on the air, you cheeky bugger?), O’Donnell complained about Morgan’s rudeness, her being late for another event where Upper West Side bitches could rattle their jewelry at her, and then she ended the interview.

While we are not surprised that any guest would perceive Morgan as rude, we were a little surprised that O’Donnell would behave that way. Politicians are supposed to have a thicker skin than most people, so what gives?

Unsolicited Drivel caught up with someone in O’Donnell’s camp about the explosive interview who told us, “I do think Piers was being rude and it was obvious he didn’t read Christine’s book. She was scheduled at the last minute after the next potential reality TV suicide victim canceled, so Piers wouldn’t have had enough time to read Troublemaker. And there aren’t going to be a Cliff Notes available for a book written by someone who got through school by only read Cliff Notes. Anyway, once it became clear to Christine that he didn’t read the book she just decided then they would only talk about the nice artwork on the book jacket instead. And what’s that limey bastard doing asking a straight woman for her views about gay marriage when she hasn’t even had a date herself since the mid 90s?”
