Possibly the most disturbing statement I have heard from someone running for US Senate.
O’Donnell found the Middle East’s censorship ‘refreshing.’ "I’ll tell you, I just came back from the Middle East, and it was refreshing. With all that is going on, it was refreshing not to be constantly bombarded with smut all the time.”

1. In my own personal life I don't
find that I'm constantly bombarded with smut all the time. Wonder what she's doing that's so different from what I'm doing?

In the interests of full disclosure, I must point out that I don't own a TV. Actually the very best part about that these days is that I never see a political ad.

17. What in the world are you watching
that you're not surrounded by smut??? :)

I've also noticed that there's also that little thing called the "off" button. Something a lot of peopole seem to forget exists.

:hi:

19. I have to wonder what exactly she considers to be "smut".
I'd love for someone to ask her that, because God only knows what she means by it. There's some serious weirdness going on in her head.

21. She said that she believes condoms help spread AIDS.
So I'd imagine she considers Flying Nun re-runs as smut. Something counter-intuitive like that. The evening news. Who knows.

6. One can usually avoid smut by staying away from BDSM dungeons.
Just sayin'. If one finds their self constantly bombarded by smut, I'm guessing they're looking for it, at least a little bit.

7. O'Donnell read the "The Handmaid's Tale" not as a political warning, but as a playbook.

18. She must not have spent much time in the Middle East
Smut is widely available here. There is only a thinly veiled pretense that it isn't.
