Frank Luntz’s “make love” comment

The Republican pollster Frank Luntz needs to keep his weird fantasies to himself:

On Hannity & Colmes, while conducting a focus group analysis of the February 21 Democratic presidential debate, Frank Luntz asked the focus group participants: “How many of you want [Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton] to really argue? Raise your hands.” Luntz then asked: “And how many of you want them to make love to each other?”

Yikes.
