Christine O'Donnell enjoyed the parody SNL did of her 'I'm Not a Witch' ad

Christine O'Donnell is not a witch. She's you. And just like you she got spoofed on Saturday Night Live this weekend to wild applause.

It was such a funny parody that NBC.com is calling their jab at the Delaware senate hopeful their Video Clip of the Day. It even got a thumbs up from O'Donnell on her Twitter account Sunday morning, when the candidate admitted that SNL cast member Kristin Wiig's wig looked better than the "tea party"  darling's real hair.

AS with all great comedy, there are some pearls of wisdom in the Wiig monologue that the candidate may want to embrace.

"I'm you. And, just like you, I have to constantly deny that I'm a witch," Wiig said in her impersonation. "Isn't that what the people of Delaware deserve? A candidate who promises, first and foremost, that she's not a witch? That's the kind of candidate Delaware hasn't had since 1692. And that's why, if elected to the Human Senate, I promise to fly straight down to Washington... on a plane! And do exactly what you would do: Not spells. Besides, if I were a witch, why wouldn't I just cast a spell making all of you forget that I'm a witch?"

Now that's the sort of silly argument that a silly accusation deserves.

Yes, it WAS a silly accusation!

Christine O'Donnell is terrific!

LOVE What she said on Greta Van Susteren about foreign policy, and MOST of all her plans to lower taxes.

Wow! Eve you really missed the point didn't you! Christine O'Donnel is a fool even more so than your savior Sarah Palin! I'm sure that this is falling on deaf ears but have you even heard her speak about the Constitution, ya know, that thing SHE SAYS is her litmus test for office holders?? Look it up some time, she doesn't even know what the 14th,15th, OR 17th amendments ARE, and those are the PLATFORMS the so-called TEA PARTY is running on!! She wants to teach RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE in schools ('intelligent design') and yet didn't even know that the SEPERATION of CHURCH and STATE was THE FIRST AMENDMENT to the Constitution! THE FIRST AMENDMENT!!! Sheeple like you AND O'dummel ARE the problem, NOT the solution!!! Go back to your covent!
