Christine O’Donnell has accomplished the impossible: She’s made Jimmy Carter look like a libertine.
The last time the phrase “lust in your heart” swept through American politics was in 1976 when Carter admitted to Playboy that, while he had always been faithful to soul (and sole) mate Rosalynn, he had committed adultery in his heart.
“I dropped 15 percentage points, and I almost lost the election,” Carter, about to turn 86, recalled in a chat during his book tour in Manhattan this week, adding with some wry hyperbole: “It was the most copies of Playboy ever sold.”
O’Donnell’s stance on the auto-erotic is auto-idiotic. “The Bible says that lust in your heart is committing adultery,” she once said. “So you can’t masturbate without lust.”
