Many are treating him like some yahoo who just happen to win the senate primary.

I've never actually been tempted to feel sorry for Hell before.

Confusing.

And there's all kinds of loaded words he didn't even use! Can't we give the guy credit for <i>anything?</i>

what will be really cool is when this guy and vitter and god's own football george allen form the 'lady killer' caucus.

Well, he probably should resign from the House as well as droping out of the race, but stubborness in the face of overwhelming facts is a common attribute for arch-conservatives.

A great phrase I've heard to describe this kind of utterance is "cotton candy words". At first you think there is something substantial there but quickly you realize that there's really nothing at all.

I think we've established that science and basic evidence are minor hurdles when a right-winger is arguing.

With their pouty little teasing smiles and the way they stick their breasts and buttocks out at me all the time, they're asking for it alright.

SB:

I mentioned that Paul RAyn business yesterday. They tried to change the language in the Medicare abortion exception to "forcible rape."

I believe a main reason the GNoP Establishment wanted Akin out is this mess reminded everyone that RAyn tried that just a year ago.

Wasn't it in Missouri that John Ashcroft lost a Senate election to a dead guy?

Maybe they aren't so dumb after all.

So he didn't take political advice from Sheer InSannity - who has never run for office - and Off-the-Mark LeVin - who promised to remember the name of every person who worked on his campaign if he "loses the Senate for Republicans" in November.

This is good news for Claire McCaskill.

So rape will retroactively screw up one's menstrual cycle? Oh, I notice that we have "assault rape" rather than forcible or legitimate rate. Quite the range of vocabulary our conservatives have.

It is a little strange that he hasn't trotted her out to talk about how Terry would never say something degrading about a rape victim, isn't it? Maybe he's afraid she'd say what she means.
