O’Donnell Part Of Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy Before It Was Cool

I don’t recall a long-shot like Christine O’Donnell arriving on the national stage so unknown but with such a long record of public statements on such a variety of issues. This morning we put together a list of her top 10 quotes, and it’s already outdated. Since then we’ve found this clip of O’Donnell on CSPAN in 1996 claiming not nearly enough attention was being paid to the “murder” of Vince Foster.

Ed. Note: Since most of our staff is under 30 years old, I’m increasingly aware of how historical the Clinton presidency is, historical as in very long ago. The view that White House Deputy Counsel Vince Foster’s suicide in 1993 at Fort Marcy Park just outside of DC in Virginia was in fact a murder to keep him quiet about the Whitewater investigation was to the first Clinton term what Obama’s purported foreign birth is today.
