"A Tea Party candidate in Delaware has a new plank in her platform, a plan to end the scourge of masturbation..."

I thought they wanted less government intrusion into our lives.

Talk amongst yourselves.  I gotta go to work.

Hold on, I've got to flog a protester.

Christine O'Donnell is actually pretty cute.  'Scuse me I've got to run to the bathroom for about 10 minutes.



"I can see the bumper stickers now: 'I masturbate, and I vote!'"

The other comments are just as hillarious:

To be fair, masturbation is not a right granted in the constitution.

[Conan71]

Oh, and here's HuffPo's account of her masturbation comments, apparently those were from the mid 1990's when she appeared on MTV's "Sex In The 90's". 

"The Delaware Republican, who is challenging Rep. Mike Castle in the state's Senate primary and has earned the financial backing of a portion of the Tea Party movement, made an appearance in the MTV series "Sex In The 90s." Entitled "The Safest Sex Of All," the episode was ostensibly geared towards understanding the importance of abstinence. But O'Donnell's guidance went a bit further. Masturbation, she argued, is not a moral substitute for sex. "The Bible says that lust in your heart is committing adultery. So you can't masturbate without lust."

I've read nowhere she thinks government should get involved in the issue and she also is not a Tea Partier but has recieved the endorsement of the Tea Party in Delaware.  Interesting how facts get distorted in campaigns.

Oh, and I do think she's a whackjob, a cute one, but still a whackjob.

Well played!  Oh, wait a minute...

To be fair, masturbation is not a right granted in the constitution.

To be even more fair, neither is sex.  But that right is usually revoked at the altar.

And a "well played" right back at ya!

These will have to be outlawed too:

I wish I'd known about this 20 years ago, 'cause it may have encouraged my ex-wife to ride her bike more often.

[Conan71]

I'm guessing Ms. O'Donnell doesn't

I'm guessing Ms. O'Donnell doesn't

Yes, most likely she

I think if you asked, she would look something like this:

Dunno why, reminded me of this


Or this:

Turns out she has a problem with finances.  She'd fit right in up in D.C. then.

O'Donnell experienced financial difficulties before, during, and after her 2008 campaign.[5] She was unable to pay the mortgage for her Wilmington house and the mortgage company gained a judgment against her for $90,000; the house was due to be sold at a sheriff's auction in August 2008 when she sold it the month prior to her campaign's legal counsel.[5] In 2009, she moved to a townhouse elsewhere in Delaware, where she pays half the rent with campaign contributions because it doubles as her campaign headquarters for her 2010 senate run.[5] Her 2008 campaign ended with $23,000 in debt, and between 2007 and 2009 the Federal Election Commission cited her eight times for failing to supply contributions reports on time.[5] As of 2010, she owes payments to staffers, consultants, and volunteers from the 2008 campaign.[5][21] In 2010, the Internal Revenue Service placed a lien on her for over $11,000 in taxes owed for 2005.[5] O'Donnell noted that the IRS agent handling the matter claimed the agency's action has been inappropriate.[5] She listed herself as self-employed and said she was doing "odd jobs" to make ends meet.[5]"

"When a report from The News Journal in March 2010 detailed her fiscal difficulties, she attributed the problems to misunderstandings and errors, and said, "I think the fact that I have struggled financially is what makes me so sympathetic."[5][29][30] Nevertheless, her financial problems became a focal point of establishment Republican attacks against her.[31]"

The new Christine O'Donnell bumper sticker:

"Christine O'Donnell, Yeah I'd Hit That!"

I think she's been described as a perennial campaigner, kinda like Virginia Jenner. Whatever happened to her?
