Ross Douthat writing at his New York Times blog: "Can we officially retire the notion that liberals don?t like the culture war? That it?s something foisted on them by knuckle-dragging conservatives? That they would prefer to only talk about Very Serious Economic Policies, and that they hate the way the right wing keeps dragging the conversation around to sex and God and all the rest of it? . . . With Christine O?Donnell, as with Sarah Palin before her, American liberals have been confronted with a politician who?s vulnerable to all sorts of possible attacks . . . And what do liberals want to talk about? Why, her decade-old comments on masturbation, of course! . . . [I]t?s a sign that in their heart of hearts, liberals love the culture wars too."
