Christine O’Donnell won the Republican nomination for senator in Delaware tonight, and Rachel Maddow wasted no time showing the footage she obtained of O’Donnell’s 1996 appearance on MTV’s “Sex In The 90s” TV show.

O’Donnell, it seems, is opposed to masturbation, and considers looking at pornography akin to adultery. And back in the 90s, though the hair was different and Joan Osborne’s 90’s mainstay “One Of Us” played in the background, O’Donnell maintained a similar stance: “The Bible says that lust in your heart is committing adultery. You can’t masturbate without lust!”

A must watch:

The most recent poll of the general election match-up showed Democrat Chris Coons ahead of O’Donnell, 50%-34%.
