Missouri Republican Senatorial candidate, Todd Akin, is at it again. If that man weren't a politician, judging by his words, I'd think he was a porn star. Let's be honest - the man knows how to smooth-talk a woman.
About a month ago, Akin said the following with regard to abortion in the cases of rape: “It seems to be, first of all, from what I understand from doctors, it’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut the whole thing down.”
Not long after that asinine statement was made, Akin's opponent - Democratic incumbent Claire McCaskill (yes, of course - his opponent is a woman) - made a move in the polls, from down quite a ways to essentially even.
Well, ladies, Akin is at it again. The man is smoother than a gravel road filled with porcupines. Following the candidates' debate last week, Akin said this:
"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. 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."
I tell you what - if that guy were a couples' counselor, divorces would triple. If he were a Chippendale dancer, "Chippendales" would change their name to "We Loves Ho's" and be seen as more gentlemanly than Akin. If he were a phone sex operator, shrinks would have record business. If he were a male escort, a new-found phenomenon called escort-date suicides would arise. If he were wise, he'd learn to shut his mouth. If he were a real man, he'd learn how to respect women.
