Former Delaware senatorial candidate the unemployed (and Mark Levin promoted) Christine O’Donnell ran one of the worst campaigns in history as she discussed masturbation and ran ads denying that she was not a witch. Some suspected she was really a Democratic false flag operative and now speculation is further fueled by her signing on with Al Gore’s Current TV to have a show. That show which she was going to host is a reality show about the Tea Party vs. the Occupy Movement. The problem is that it turns out that Christine O’Donnell stole the idea from producer Gordon G.C. Gebert.
Remember when Christine O’Donnell was a tea party favorite and promised she would win a Senate seat from Delaware for the Republicans? On the strength of her appeal to tea party conservatives, she defeated Mike Castle, a former governor and then-current member of the US House of Representatives, in the 2010 primary. Castle, who has won statewide elective office many times, was a near certainty to win the seat, but O’Donnell’s ambition and ability to seize tea party momentum defeated him.
Things did not work out as O’Donnell promised. She ended up losing in a landslide (a 17 point margin), and now Democratic Senator Chris Coons holds the seat, helping elect Harry Reid as Majority Leader now, and God help us, maybe next year, too.
O’Donnell appears to have moved on to a new disgrace, allegedly stealing the idea for a television show from its originator, and joining with Al Gore-affiliated Current TV to develop a show based on someone else’s idea. Unfortunately for Ms. O’Donnell, the man she allegedly tried to rip off is no fool, took steps to protect his intellectual property, and has a lot of friends in the conservative blogosphere.
I wish this probable false flag operative would go away as she does not represent the Tea Party movement. Christine O’Donnell should go back to calling for banning masturbation on Bill Maher’s show.

I think hosting a show on Current TV is about as close to “going away” as there is…
I’d like to ban masturbation on Bill Maher’s show, too. I mean, yuk! But then, I don’t watch Bill Maher in the first place!
Like I have said once I will say it again. When it comes to politics all parties have their assorted nutz.
The electorate sorts it out and the Tea Party goes back to the drawing board.
OT Akin should drop out.
good night
Can I call Ms. O’Donnell a cunt?
Delaware, not Maryland.
Let’s hope the tea party candidate takes Akin’s place.
The concept of a show involving the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street is not so unique as to be protectable, but it would be a relatively easy process (based on concept) to see if she went farther than that and copied someone else’s concept.
One cannot protect ideas, names, or titles.
The apparent originator of the idea, Mr. Gebert, is talking about “trademark infringement.” If he filed an intent-to-use application for a trademark for his show, if that application was approved and is still valid, AND if O’Donnell’s proposed name/title is so close to Gebert’s as to be infringing, then Gebert might have some redress. But all that means is O’Donnell would have to change the title of her show; trademarks protect the proof of origin, not the idea.
So O’Donnell and Gebert both do their own shows—so what? There’s more than one “Pawn Stars”-type show on TV, there’s more than one decorating show, there’s more than one cooking show or house-hunting show. There’s even more than one liberal and more than one conservative political pundit show.
Burn the Witch burn the witch…
