Christine O'Donnell Hangs Up on Radio Interview (Audio)

On the same day as her walkout from an interview with Piers Morgan, the politician also ended another session on the radio.
Maybe Christine O’Donnell lives by the saying, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”
The former Delaware Senate candidate abruptly exited two interviews on the same day. The video of her hasty exit from an interview with CNN’s Piers Morgan has been circulating around the web since Wednesday.

And then she’s gone.
“She hung up!” the radio hosts exclaim, saying that they think her publicist probably hung up.
The producer of the radio show told The Huffington Post that O’Donnell, who beat Castle by six percent, did not call back, but that her publicist did call and claimed it was a bad phone connection.
When asked by the Huffington Post if he felt the hang up was intentional, producer Richie Steadman responded, "Absolutely. I feel like it was, absolutely.
