We’d met for the first and only time three months earlier when my two roommates and I signed the lease on our apartment: Christine’s aunt owned the place we were moving into, and she happened to be up from Delaware visiting at the time. But we’d only spent about five minutes together that day and we hadn’t spoken much, and I hadn’t thought of her since. > Yet here she was standing outside my door with a friend. And both of them were pretty tipsy. ---

A friend of my wife (preacher’s wife, naturally) looks soooooo much like her. And she thinks Palin is the best thing to happen to this country since Jesus founded it in 1776, too. Maybe the bone structure leads to certain wavelengths getting picked up? Creepy. -Joe ---

According to O’Donnell’s comments on the Today show this morning, it was because she hadn’t done any makeup (prepped for radio as opposed to video). ---

I’m not saying that this couldn’t have happened, but what proof do we have other than him saying that it happened. As far the pictures, those could have just been taken while she was out to dinner with friends on Halloween night. ---

If he pulled them from flickr I’m sure someone would have pointed to it by now. Then again, does it really matter? The only reason to keep hammering on her is to maybe show this dimwit that politics is a rough game and that not everyone can manage to Palin their way past the media. Then again, a guy who would lose interest in a (quick math) 29-30 year-old naked Christine O’Donnell because she doesn’t wax isn’t all that believable either. -Joe ---

It is entirely believable one of the roommates got his hands on pictures from that Halloween.

The [response](http://gawker.com/5676197/christine-odonnell-responds) from O’Donnell’s campaign is no better. In part: > [@Communications Director Doug Sachtleben](#): > > As Chris Coons said on September 16th he would not condone personal attacks against Christine. Classless Coons goons have proven yet again to have no sense of common decency or common sense with their desperate attacks to get another rubber stamp for the Obama-Pelosi-Reid agenda. I don’t see any indication that Coons, or any of his “goons” had anything whatsoever to do with the original story. ---

O’Donnell didn’t quote NOW, the reporter who wrote that article did. O’Donnell’s quote ends just before NOW is mentioned. ---

O’Donnell did deny the allegations this Friday evening on the Hannity radio show when she called in. She admitted to knowing the guy as an acquaintance but denied everything he alleges besides that she was at the Halloween party with him dressed as a ladybug. She also alleges that the guy was paid off by the democratic party to fabricate this story. This allegation was told to her by one of her advisors according to O’Donnell. ---
