Stephen Colbert had a startling realization last night, after hearing Christine O’Donnell equate being gay in the military to having an affair in the military during this week’s Delaware Senate debate. Colbert was alarmed because she also has said that “lust in your heart is committing adultery. “So you cant masturbate without lust.”

“Let’s follow O’Donnell’s ironclad logic,” he said. “Being gay in the military equals committing adultery in the military. ‘Military’ is on both sides so let’s reduce that equation. So, being gay equals committing adultery, and masturbating equals committing adultery. So by the transitive property of O’Donnell, masturbating equals being gay.”

“How could I not see this?” Colbert wondered. “All this time I’ve been doing it with a dude!”
