TODD AKIN PUTS FOOT IN MOUTH AGAIN

“She goes to Washington, D.C., it’s a little bit like one of those dogs, you know ‘fetch.’ She goes to Washington, D.C., and get all of these taxes and red tape and bureaucracy and executive orders and agencies and she brings all of this stuff and dumps it on us in Missouri.”

All right, Claire McCaskill is a Blue Dog Democrat, but Akin takes the analogy way too far.  How can anyone vote for this man?

In case you've forgotten, Akin is the guy who said women do not become pregnant from "legitimate rape".

SHE WAS MEAN TO ME

Rep. Todd Akin (R) says of his Democratic opponent in the US Senate race in Missouri:

“I think we have a very clear path to victory, and apparently Claire McCaskill thinks we do, too, because she was very aggressive at the debate, which was quite different than it was when she ran against Jim Talent,” Akin said. “She had a confidence and was much more ladylike (in 2006), but in the debate on Friday she came out swinging, and I think that’s because she feels threatened.”

This is the same Todd Akin who said women rarely become pregnant from "legitimate rape".

So.  According to Akin, Sen. Claire McCaskill is aggressive and unladylike.  Sounds to me as if Akin is the one who feels threatened.  Poor baby.  A good many Republicans urged Akin to drop out of the race after his "legitimate rape" comments and allow another Republican to replace him, but he didn't.  Now some Republicans are, once again, rallying round.
