Nobody paid any attention to Todd since the last election. Now that election time is approaching, state-controlled media wants to dredge him up for their never-ending “Republican war on women” extravaganza.
How is Politico spinning the whole thing of Hillary laughing about defending a child rapist, slut shaming her, and being a rotten person?
It's not like they've had to drag a reluctant Akin kicking and dragging out of the shadows. He's thrust himself back into the spotlight; the media is just enabling him.
>> Nobody paid any attention to Todd since the last election.
Exactly.
I wonder how much they are paying him?
Hard to say they had to "dredge him up" - he wrote a book, he is promoting his book, and he is apparently trying to salvage some sort of public career. Is the media happy to let him keep digging a hole for himself (and, more importantly, for other Republicans)? Of course. But Akin knew (or should have known) that would happen. The blame for any damage to other Republicans should fall squarely on Akin's shoulders for deciding to publish the book and open his mouth now.
“Now that election time is approaching, state-controlled media wants to dredge him up for their never-ending “Republican war on women” extravaganza.”
Yes.
Why does he think MSNBC is having him on?
It ain’t to give him a fair shake and allow him to promote his book.
