I can’t believe this!
Well isn’t this the perfect pile of bullsunni.
I saw a newslink “GOP Senate candidate blah blah rape blah” and I was thinking to myself “please be the guy from Washington State or something so this doesn’t matter”. But no it has to be Akin and the media just had to decide to make it the world’s # 1 news story. Harry Reid would have to shoot a guy on the street to get this kind of coverage. I guess you were right Clintonfatigued when you called him “second-tier”, he’s a second-tier mind anyway.
There once was a man named Felix Grucci, a freshman Congressman from NY elected in 2000. His first reelection was won, he faced a nobody, some College President jerkoff named Tim Bishop. All Grucci had to do to win was ignore him. Instead he decided to say that Bishop (whose existence before this nobody was aware of) didn’t properly investigate claims of sexual assault on campus or some such, I don’t know the truth but there was no proof so the media decided it was a smear against Bishop. Boom, Bishop narrowly wins, 10 years later and fresh off a stolen 2010 reelection that bastard is STILL there.
Not the exact same thing but close enough. Akin should have been thinking about how he could snag himself one of the better Senate offices and how he should decorate that office. Instead he gives an interview and talks about RAPE and lets the world know that he flunked Pys Ed cause women’s eggs apparently know rapist sperm from boyfriend or husband sperm. I bet those eggs could run NORAD then.
Now I don’t care one whit about what he said (not at all, I don’t give a duck), half of Washington is much stupider than that (I myself once believed that 15th Century Europe really thought the Earth was flat cause that’s what my friggin worthless grade school history book said) but I imagine a lot of women aren’t pleased nor. This plays right into the “ignorant of science” stereotype social conservatives are tagged with by the left and lets Claire play the girl power sisterhood card.
What matters is the seat.
If the deadline for him being able to quit and be replaced is really TUESDAY as freeper Scbison posted then there is no damn time to poll this to see if this faux paux can be overome. Our reactions are irrelevant, the reactions of the ignorant swing voters are what’s important here. Does it turn a layup into a tossup? Or is it even worse? Is he DOA even against the unpopular hag Senatrix? Does the GOP have the stones to DEMAND he quit? (Reid would have his mobster buddies pay a visit) Does he have the sense to listen if they do? There is just a day and half to decide?
Republicans need to learn to handle hostile media questions without shoving their feet so far down their throats that they can still walk. And Akin’s handlers should be ashamed of themselves cause that’s their JOB. He is PAYING them.
I hope this doesn’t work out as badly as it could.
It occurs to be instead of that history lesson with Grucci I could have just said MACACA. That was one lousy word, a foreign slang term no less. Akin had blessed us with an entire offending sentence.
