Tea Party Loon Opposes Masturbation

I share this, from the Guardian, regarding the Republican nominee for the Delaware US Senate seat. Strange days indeed, but what a great time to be a political cartoonist... The media, of course, ignores or facilitates all the Republican Party's other bullshit but freaks out over the one issue that they can all agree is a fundamental human right.

O'Donnell, who is pro-gun, anti-abortion, fiscally conservative and believes masturbation is a sin, won by 53% to 47% for Mike Castle, who has served the Republicans for 30 years, including stints as governor and in Congress.

O'Donnell was the leader of the Christian lobby group Saviour's Alliance for Lifting the Truth. In a television interview a decade ago, she said: "The Bible says that lust in your heart is committing adultery. So you can't masturbate without lust."

She will now stand for the US Senate in November for the seat vacated by Joe Biden when he became vice-president two years ago.
