Oh, how the Republican Party would love for their whackjobs to go away, so they could pull the wool over voters' eyes and take over the Senate (or more). Sadly for them, though, since the GOP has sold its soul to Teabag World, it's increasingly difficult to pull that off.
Latest case in point? The highly inconvenient book by Neanderthal former Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin, who has suddenly decided he was right about "legitimate rape" all along. Which has made the Republican Party go, pardon our French, batshit.
We cats don't usually use profanities, but in this case we think they're justified. Because here's what some of the brightest lights of the GOP have
said about Akin's newfound defiance:
"Todd Akin is an embarrassment to the Republican Party and the sole
reason Claire McCaskill is still part of Harry Reid’s majority."
"Todd Akin has no one to blame for his loss but Todd Akin."
Whoa. How fast can we, the Republican establishment, run from the monsters that we not only created but took to our bosoms, thinking we could control them?
Make no mistake: The GOP is scared. Sure, all the punditheads say that the Senate map favors them this year, and we cats don't dispute that. But, it should be noted: Stuff Keeps Happening. As in, five old guys on the Supreme Court saying that your boss can dictate your birth control decisions. As in, Scott Brown is
embarrassing himself in New Hampshire. As in, Bob Beauprez has a
47 percent video of his own. As in, Mark Pryor is
leading his teabag opponent by 11 points.
So we cats are happy to report that Todd Akin still thinks that he knows how lady parts work. Let's have every Republican official, and every Republican candidate, asked to defend or explain Akin's remarks. Because in a just world, that's what would happen. Which would make us cats PURR.
