If you haven't seen this short clip, then you're just not paying attention. Todd Akin, our newly minted Senate candidate from Missouri just made beating Claire McCaskill a little bit harder. Until today, Todd Akin could have spent the rest of the cycle in the Bahamas and still beaten McCaskill, but NOOOOOOOOOO, this nitwit makes some DUMBASS comments about rape. RAPE!
It reminds me of the episode of "Frasier" when Frasier holds a successful fundraiser for a candidate and upon completion the candidate tells the tale about the time he was abducted by aliens. The look on Kelsey Grammer's face was priceless. Todd Akin could've recovered if he'd told the tale of an alien anal probe. He could've said he was joking. But there's no walking back this crap.
It is terribly annoying to agree with someone on the checklist of issues only to find they've got their head up their ass. Do you think Claire McCaskill will get full campaign coffers off of this? Even if he does win, can we be proud of this?
