First Quote of the Day

“From what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare.  If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.  But, let’s assume maybe that didn’t work or something.  I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist.”

– Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO), when asked August 19 if he supported abortion in the case of rape.

Akin as since apologized, but refuses to drop out of a congressional race, stating, “I don’t know that I’m the only person in public office who suffered from foot in mouth disease here.”  No, but he should be suffering foot up the ass disease come this November.
