Christine O'Donnell Claims Questions Were "Sexual Harassment"

By Lucas Grindley

Christine O'Donnell says it wasn't questions about gay marriage that caused her to walk off the set of an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan. Instead, she says it was "borderline sexual harassment" earlier in the interview.

"It was not about the questions of gay

Not sure who I can't stand more, Piers Morgan or Christine O'Donnell.

I was busily attempting to formulate a response and then you took the hashtag right out of my mouth.

[wrestlingdog]

For reals.

Maybe I could see her side if she didn't write a book about this stuff. But you wrote a BOOK on this shit, and then you expect people not to ask you about it?

THIS. You publish an opinion of the evils of masturbation, don't acted shocked if you're later asked about that.

Sorry the spacing's a little weird, LJ was being odd when I posted it.

I don't really have any thoughts on this except "why are we still hearing about this person", tbh, but it is kind of amusing.

It's the recent change to rich text editor. I'm not sure, but I think if you set it to html mode before you post it's less likely to start adding extra spaces.

[silver_sandals]

Ah, thanks. I was very confused.

[silver_sandals]

But does anybody think she has a point that the masturbation thing wouldn't be brought up so often if it was a male politician?

I'm sure if Rick Santorum were ever to be booked on one of these shows (I know, lol) he'd be grilled on his positions regarding sexuality and whatnot. I think the reason she's being asked about this is because she said the thing about masturbation when she was kind of young...it was on MTV...her positions still kind of seem the same, but might be a little different, etc.

Is a gender thing? Probably not.

She said what she said and people are always going to ask her about it because it's interesting.

IDK. I mean she said it, it's out there and Piers Morgan, being the kind of interviewer he is I could see him asking the same question if the hypothetical male politian and said something similar. He did headline an article/interview with Nick Clegg using the "No more than 30" quote and he does ask male politicians how many people they've slept with, still..

[romp]

I don't think so. If I was interviewing a public official who'd publicly taken an anti-masturbation position, I'd ask about that.
