The political season is in full swing, and apparently it causes foot in mouth disease at a minimum, and idiocy to show itself.
While VP Joe Biden and the White House have doubled down on the "put y'all back in chains" comment (and, did you catch the inflection and tone used? There is no question when you hear how old Joe said it, the race baiting meaning was clear. Former VA Governor Wilder noted it and called Biden on it http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Ex-Va-Gov-Wilder-slams-Biden-for-chains-remark-3791544.php ), Todd Akin, who won Missouri's GOP Senate primary earlier this month and will square off against incumbent Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill November's Senate race at least apologized and "took back" his comments referring to "legitimate rape". Seriously, what type of person would put those two words together as a phrase? Why do men always say incredibly bone-headed things when it comes to women and our bodies (although, kudos to Sandra Fluke for showing that not only men are boneheads - women can be equally boneheaded - no, I don't want to pay for your partying costs, Ms. Fluke, since you won't pay for my recreational travel costs. . . .)?
Words to the wise, Mr. Akin: until you grow a uterus or are raped yourself, kindly do not speak of rape and its effect on the female body. Thank you.
