The name’s Opportunity. P.R. Opportunity. I knocked, you answered, and then you offered me a nice cold beer.

Christine O’Donnell went and did something…noticeable:

Christine O’Donnell, the former Delaware GOP Senate candidate, walked off the set of CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight” Wednesday when asked about her views on sexual abstinence and gay marriage.

…When Morgan asked her why she was being “weird” about answering questions on her own statements, as well as issues she addresses in her new book, “Troublemaker,” O’Donnell fired back, saying she only wanted to talk about tea party principles outlined in her book.

“That’s why I agreed to come on your show. That’s what I want to talk about,” O’Donnell said. “I’m not being weird. You’re being a little rude.”

…”Don’t you think as a host, if I say this is what I want to talk about, that’s what we should address?” she asked Morgan.

When Morgan said “no,” O’Donnell began to take off her microphone and said she had turned down another interview for this appearance.

Wow, how weird! How conflict-ish! How…newsworthy!

Questions:

  • Had you thought of Christine O’Donnell at all over the past six months? Me, neither.
  • Did you have to remind yourself of exactly who she is and why you know of her? Me, too.
  • Did you know she’s written a book? Me, neither.

But you do now. And so do I. Not that I’m going to buy or read it, but at least now I know about it. And that, good people, is marketing!

One more excerpt:

In an interview with WTTG in Washington Thursday, O’Donnell said she felt she made the right decision to end the CNN interview. Regarding Morgan, she said, “I wish him well – he’s a cheeky bugger.”

Who the hell calls somebody a “cheeky bugger?”
