Court documents obtained Saturday by THE WEEKLY STANDARD reveal surprising new details about the gender discrimination and wrongful termination lawsuit filed by Christine O'Donnell in 2005 against her former employer, the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, a conservative non-profit based in Delaware.* O'Donnell, who is now challenging moderate congressman Mike Castle in the September 14 Delaware GOP Senate primary, sought $6.95 million in damages. In a court complaint, she extensively detailed the "mental anguish" she suffered after allegedly being demoted and fired because of her gender. And, although she didn't have a bachelor's degree until this year, O'Donnell implied she was taking Master's degree classes at Princeton University in 2003.
O'Donnell alleged in a July 1, 2005 complaint filed in district court that she had been demoted because ISI's conservative philosophy dictated that women must be subordinate to men. She claimed she was fired when she contacted the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission regarding her demotion. ISI told the Delaware News Journal that she had been "terminated for operating a for-profit business."
O'Donnell's finances, honesty, and stability have been called into question in light of her false and strange claims. The court complaint raises further questions on all fronts. O'Donnell, who made an annual salary of $65,000 at ISI as director of communications and public affairs, sought up to $6,952,477 million in damages, claiming, among other allegations, that ISI had defamed her and had violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. O'Donnell sought:
--Up to $3,952,447 in "Direct Damages, including back pay" and "lifetime lost income and liftetime damage to reputation."

Sounds like somebody has a very big non-conservative skeleton in their closet
And?
GOP bringing out all they can? Do we wonder why the GOP shoots themselves in the foot so often?
When will they learn? Maybe when we get real conservatives who outnumber the RINOs?
The Ruling Class doesn’t like her. Sorry we can only send her money.
Wow. Glad this got out before the primary. If all this is true, she is probably so fundamentally flawed as a candidate that there is no way she can win a general.
Maybe they were gay, like Mike Castle./s
Even if everything they say about O’Donnell is true, she’s still a thousand times better than Castle.
O’Donnell will fight for our Constitution.
Rinos, go home and play with your little doll houses or whatever you enjoy most.
I don’ t have problem with the lawsuit. But the story about being held back from getting her Master’s is troubling.
This is old hat.
All to save Mike Castle.
Where’s the crime here?
THE WILLIAM KRISTOL/FRED BARNES AND MIKE CASTLE WING OF THE GOP WEIGHS IN.
Be sure to note the “full disclosre” at the bottom of the column.
Yeah right.
For those in the GOP establishment—please come up with new talking points.
The “she can’t win the general election” line is now obviously code for “we want rinos and more rinos.”
To 2 - Sounds like someone has a bug up his arse.
I wonder what Sarah Palin’s view is on anti-discrimination lawsuits against conservative organizations. I don’t know if she has discussed tort reform or not.
I’m glad at times like these with a president like Obama supposedly conservative outfits like the Weekly Standard are putting time,money and resources behind ruining this woman. It’s great really.
Yes but discrimination will get MUCH more sympathy and attention.
GOP hit on one of its own PING!
