Last night on the season premiere of his HBO show, Bill Maher started going through the 22 appearances that Christine O’Donnell made on his old show, Politically Incorrect. First up, O’Donnell in 1999 describing dabbling in witchcraft and a date that included blood on a “satanic altar.”

Maher threatened to play a clip a show until Senate candidate O’Donnell agrees to re-appear on his show. She is, Maher said, “an unemployed, anti-masturbation activist and a close friend of mine.”
