Todd Akin gets wowed by Claire McCaskill

Less than a month after insisting that "legitimate rape rarely causes pregnancy",  Senate wannabe Todd Akin remains on the attack, lamenting that his opponent, incumbent Claire McCaskill, refuses to act more "ladylike".

Following their recent debate, he opined, "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 told the The Kansas City Star"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."

Several days later, apparently still recovering from the threat he presented, he offered this, "The first two minutes, wow, it's like somebody let a wildcat out of the cage," Akin told a small group of supporters and activists in Rolla, a rural college town between St. Louis and Springfield. "She was just furious and attacking in every different direction, which was a little bit of a surprise to us." 

Apparently, what would most satisfy Todd would be if, while he attacked, Claire played the docile tabby, rolled over onto her back and enjoyed the ride.


Despite demonstrating, once again, that he has yet to evolve beyond the level of the Neanderthal, Akin has regained the support of the The National Republican Senatorial Committee which endorsed him yesterday. Ugh.
