Flashback: Franken debates sex with Senate hopeful O’Donnell

[a kennedy]

Tea party Republican Christine O’Donnell’s upset victory in the Delaware primary for the U.S. Senate last week has put the controversial candidate — and anti-masturbation crusader — in the political limelight. But it’s not her first foray into the national political scene. In 1997, she shared a stage with Sen. Al Franken, who was then just a political commentator, on Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher. The two sparred over the effectiveness of condoms and whether sex outside of marriage is “physically and psychologically harmful.”

Here's the video:

2. Do it Al! If just for the bit.

Oh wait, you mean he debated sex... with O'Donnell. Nevermind.

3. The Christian Right fetishizes a piece of paper.

They think that if you're married everything will be wonderful. A marriage license cannot make somebody like you or love you. It cannot make a relationship a good one. It cannot make sex good if it was bad before the marriage.

They are fetishizing a piece of paper.
A state-issued screwing license.
