After Bathtub Accident, O'Donnell Changes Position

by: fake consultant

Tue Oct 05, 2010 at 13:06:59 PM EDT


Dover, Delaware (FNS)-Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell shocked the crowd at a Delaware political breakfast meeting when she announced that she has changed her thinking about masturbation following a weekend bathtub "incident".

Spike Fromula, O'Donnell's press secretary, explained to the press gaggle today that O'Donnell now realizes that it is possible to "masturbate without lust in your heart" after Saturday night's revelatory event, which Fromula described as a "slip and fall episode".

"It wasn't exactly 'The Passion of the Showerhead'" said Fromula, in a reference to her former work as a marketing consultant to the Mel Gibson movie of a similar name, "but there is no doubt that her thinking on the issue has evolved".

fake consultant :: After Bathtub Accident, O'Donnell Changes Position
O'Donnell's new position, said to be one of several she assumed during Saturday's "Eureka Moment", is that a situation such as hers in now acceptable: individuals who are either showering or bathing while thinking about policy issues or Scripture, who accidentally either drop their soap or spill a certain quantity of shampoo on the "floor" of their bathing area, can accidentally masturbate, and as long as they continue to think about either Scripture or policy issues while that happens, no sin has occurred.

This is obviously a completely different perspective on this issue than what has been reported in the past; O'Donnell is famous for her claim that is impossible to masturbate without lust in one's heart, therefore, it's a practice that's forbidden by Scripture.

Efforts to reach O'Donnell herself for clarification on the issue have been stymied by the fact that she has either taken up residence in her bathroom or become suddenly far more involved in policy analysis, depending on which version of the story is to be believed; Fromula, when asked about the sudden change in her schedule, had no comment to offer.

A number of observers have questioned whether her appearance in a campaign ad directly denying that she's a witch at the same time this announcement was made is related to fears that she may have again resumed the practice, but Fromula was anxious to deny that Ms. O'Donnell is now spending her evenings with steaming cauldrons of any sort.

It is currently unknown exactly how many other Americans who subscribe to O'Donnell's previous views on this issue might also be open to a reconsideration of the matter, but there is the potential for economic stimulus if the demand for Jacuzzi tubs were to increase, just to give one example. Another new potential business: applying new handrails and "extra-slip" coatings to currently installed bathtubs.

"The important thing to remember" Fromula said "is that now you know when Christine O'Donnell says 'When I go to Washington I'll do what you do', she's being more truthful than ever...and that's the kind of magic American politics needs".

will this be the craziest election cycle ever? (0.00 / 0)
probably not...so just wait 'til '12.

--we are making enemies faster than we can kill them

This woman.... (0.00 / 0)
...is a total whackadoodle.....

and that's the kind interpretation. (0.00 / 0)
the less kind one: perhaps she's a good argument for including mental health care in a national healthcare program...

--we are making enemies faster than we can kill them

she needs more than that (0.00 / 0)
she needs heavy meds and a lifetime trip to a mental institution.  Thankfully she'll have plenty of time for that after November 2.

[ Parent ]
well...let's be careful: (0.00 / 0)
medicare costs are high already, and let's consider the potential of outpatient mental health treatment wherever we can...because after all, we still have 20% left to cover, and i hate to waste resources on her illness if it hurts others.

--we are making enemies faster than we can kill them

[ Parent ]
well (0.00 / 0)
she should take her own advice and let the "free market" take care of it (ie charge her extremely high prices that she has to pay for out of pocket).

[ Parent ]
i like that... (0.00 / 0)
...but here's the good news: at the moment, she's falling farther behind, from down 15 to down 19 in a poll i just saw yesterday.

apparently the free market is valuing her, and it's not going so well.
