Christine O'Donnell: just another rightwinger with a bad case of "screw as I say, not as I screw."

It really didn't take very long for Christine to make her move. She'd grabbed my hand on the way from the apartment to South Street, so I can't say I was totally surprised when she leaned in to kiss me soon after we arrived at the bar.... Christine was pretty intense, and she was pretty outspoken that night, but we didn't talk politics much. Her aunt had told me that Christine ran for Senate a year earlier and had lost, so I knew a bit about her background. But the most political she got that night was when she said she attended lots of events in Washington that attracted congressmen and senators. "It would be nice to have a good-looking young man to attend those with me," she added.

We'd probably knocked back five Heinekens when Christine leaned over and whispered in my ear that she wanted to go back to my place.

The O'Donnell camp—with an assist from the National Organization for Women—issues a non-denial denial, condemns Gawker for running the story, and charges sexism.

Sorry, Christine and NOW, but when a candidate's entire political "career" prior to winning her party's nomination consisted of railing against pre-marital sex, slamming queers on behalf of the rightwinghaters at Concerned Women of America, pushing abstinence, and condemning masturbation, then the candidate's sexual conduct is 100% relevant and open to scrutiny, vagina or no vagina, penetration or no penetration. There are, no doubt, female candidates out there who whose sex lives have been discussed, speculated about, and exposed unfairly. Christine O'Donnell isn't one of 'em.
