Greg Sargent has this great exchange with Christine O'Donnell in 2003:
NIES: You're going to stop the whole country from having sex?
O'DONNELL: Yeah. Yeah!
NIES: You're living on a prayer if you think that's going to happen.
O'DONNELL: That's not true. I'm a young woman in my thirties and I remain chaste.
I think I need to plan a romantic getaway with my wife before the elections just in case this woman wins.

I think she departs from Palin on this issue. Bristol, I mean.

Sullivan coined her a media whore, which about says it all. Her whoredom runneth over.

Relax, Jonathan, Chris Coons will be Delaware's new senator come November 2nd. And even in the unlikely event she should triumph, Republican men (cf. Mark Sanford, David Vitter, Jon Ensign et al.) like sex way too much to let her even get a toehold on these matters.

You can be sexually active in marriage and still be "chaste."* So relax, Jonathan. If O'Donnell wins, just do your duty to the party at regular intervals. Webster's definition #1: : innocent of unlawful sexual intercourse http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/chaste

I prefer "O'Donnell wants to fill in America's hoo-haw"

Webster's definition #1: : innocent of unlawful sexual intercourse Yeah, but I'll bet 90% of American couples also do stuff in bed that is unlawful in O'Donnell's mind, given her position on masturbation.

Whatever happened to that old mantra of "stay out of my bedroom"? Apparently now everyone is supposed to stay out of their bedroom and states should begin regulating the definition of lawful sexual intercourse. *sigh*

Dang, Crock, were you sitting here waiting for that one? How much more of this O'Donnell spillage is the media sitting on?
