Christine O'Donnell Claims Questions Were "Sexual Harassment"
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 marriage, as the producers very dishonestly tried to portray it," O'Donnell told the Today show. "It was, like I said, the very inappropriate, creepy line of questioning leading up to that. And I think I was a very good sport."

Morgan had asked about the former U.S. Senate candidate's controversial stances against masturbation and in favor of sexual abstinence, both of which are topics O'Donnell says are included in the book she's trying to promote. But O'Donnell told Today that those questions (which she answered) were "sexist" and that a man wouldn't have been asked the same ones.

O'Donnell had already been on the hourlong show for more than 20 minutes when she stopped the interview, explaining she had somewhere else to be, and a staffer stood in front of the CNN camera.

1. Didn't she even have problems with Larry King, too?
The woman has no threshold for real politics.

2. Why is ANYone asking Christine O'Donnell ANYthing?
What in pluperfect hell makes anything emanating from her piehole newsworthy whatsoever? An hour-long show at that! If I were forced to watch that drivel, I would be begging for a lobotomy after five minutes. Also, why isn't Piers Morgan testifying before Parliament or out getting lawyered-up?

5. She "wrote" a book ...
for some odd reason when a person who has ever attracted public attention does that, they always seem to end up on the talk shows.

What I haven't been able to figure out is why is Piers Morgan is on CNN. I expected an improvement after Larry King left. A pompous English asshole doesn't impress me.

3. Who gives a rats ass what she thinks about anything.?
Cable news stirring the political pot for the pukes. Making stories where there is none. That is why I stopped watching all cable news, it is all bullshit.
