every week since the DE primaries, bill maher has dipped into his archives and released an allegedly embarrassing video of christine o'donnell from his politically incorrect days. this week, maher released his third video, in which o'donnell admits that she experimented with a variety of religions in her youth, like "witchcraft" and buddhism, and she considered becoming a hari krishna.
what i don't get is why this would be embarrassing. is there something wrong with trying out different religions before you decide on the right one for you? i don't even think her brethren on the christian right would mind. many evangelical christians adopt the narrative of going on a spiritual journey, trying out different beliefs before they finally land at what they consider to be the "one true faith." isn't that what being "born again" is all about?
also, o'donnell is italian? o'donnell?!?!?
