Christine O’Donnell, the newly minted Republican candidate for the US Senate from Delaware, has spent her entire adult life offering wacky soundbites to the nation’s media. First to break were her anti-masturbation comments — she believes, among other things, that if a man knows how to masturbate, he won’t be interested in sex — but that was just the tip of the iceberg.

Yesterday the internets were all abuzz with her contention that she hates lying so much that she’d have told Hitler where the Jews were hiding. And now we have this nugget, from a 2003 Washington Times article on the rise of co-ed facilities in American college dorms:

“What’s next? Orgy rooms? Menage a trois rooms?”

Reached for comment yesterday, by the way, O’Donnell refused to say whether she still opposes masturbation. “My opponents dug up a quote I gave 16 years ago,” she said. “I was a pundit. I was very passionate in my 20s and wanted to share my beliefs.”

Indeed.
