When you wish upon a rape

Maureen Dowd:

There’s something trying about an unforgiving man suddenly in need of forgiveness.


Yet Todd Akin is right. He shouldn’t have to get out of the United States Senate race in Missouri simply for saying what he believes. He reflects a severe stance on abortion that many in his party embrace, including the new vice presidential candidate.


“I talk about one word, one sentence, one day out of place, and, all of a sudden, the entire establishment turns on you,” Representative Akin complained to the conservative radio talk-show host Dana Loesch on Tuesday as he spurned pleas from Mitt Romney and other G.O.P. big shots to abort his bid. He continued: “They just ran for cover at the first sign of any gunfire, and I think we need to rush to the gunfire.”

  1. Poor moron just mis-spoke, that’s all. ASSHOLE. Maybe he can get his mouth and mind to “self-correct” as in rape victims whose bodies will automatically abort an unwanted fetus. Sounds fair, huh?

  2. It’s all about who you know and who you are related to, at least where I live it’s that way. I have been trying to apply for a job for the past 3 years, I have tried multiple employers but have either been turned down or ignored every time. Every one I know who has a job is either related to someone influential locally or a friend/relative of that business owner or one of their relatives friends. All I have ever asked for is a basic job, minimum wage pretty much and they still wont hire me. I cannot go to college, because my family can’t afford it and I can’t get a loan and even if I could I would have no way of paying it back without a job.With the way people hire today, it’s no wonder the economy is moving backwards.
