The Height Of GOP Stupidity, Part One: Todd Akin .... And Paul Ryan

Todd Akin is a Republican congressman from Missouri. He's also a delusional moronic fuck.
This past week he told a local TV channel that "legitimate rape" rarely produces pregnancy because “the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.” He said he'd gotten his information from, um, "doctors," yet couldn't remember a single name,
Akin apparently believes that when a woman is raped, her body can determine that she's going to get pregnant and just stop it from happening. I mean, if it's a "legitimate" rape and not all those illegitimate rapes where the woman is just playing hard to get. So, by virtue of his pronouncement, if a woman is raped, and ends up pregnant, then she wasn't really raped at all.
Yeah. I know.
Rabidly anti-choice, Akin has sponsored legislation that would redefine rape--as legitimate, I guess, or illegitimate--in federal law to limit funding for abortion providers; he also wants to ban the morning after pill, and has expressed concern that criminalizing marital rape gives women “a legal weapon to beat up on the husband” during a divorce. See, married woman don't get raped; they're just denying sex to their husbands who then have to force themselves on their womenfolk; that's not rape, y'all, that's GOP foreplay.
Of course, after the outcry over his special brand of idiocy, Akin claims he misspoke, though he didn't apologize. The Romney/Ryan camp instantly distanced themselves from Akin, though they still remain addicted to the GOP which holds a very Old World view on woman's health issues, a woman's right to choose, and, well, anything to control women.
Todd Akin. The height of GOP stupidity. Or, as Frank Rich says:

Oops, but there's a sidenote which I find interesting.
See, the GOP is trying to distance themselves now from Todd Akin; to say that, while they are indeed Pro-Life, they do not feel at all like Todd Akin feels. But then I heard that the little GOP Veep candidate, Paulie Ryan, once worked on an anti-abortion bill in which he discussed "forcible" rape.
Oh, but he did. See, it looks like Ryan thinks that some rapes are "forcible" but other times a woman getting raped agrees to it, so it's not forced. I know. WTF? 
All of this makes me wonder when the GOP will try to distance them,selves from Paul Ryan and "forcible" rape as they are doing with Todd Akin's "legitimate" rape. And it makes me wonder when women will back away from the GOP and its anti-woman stance and vote for Obama, who plainly said, "Rape is rape."
