Of ALL People: Todd Akin wishes Claire McCaskill would be more 'ladylike'

[kpete]

More than a month after his comments about “legitimate rape” nearly derailed his campaign for U.S. Senate, Republican Todd Akin said Thursday that it has become clear to him that he will triumph over Democratic incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill this fall.

Part of his confidence, he said, comes from McCaskill's demeanor during their debate last week, which he said was not as "ladylike" as it was when she faced off with Republican Jim Talent in 2006.

“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,” Akin said. “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.”

1. Since Todd Aiken is not intelligent nor gentlemanly,

I think he has chutzpah.

2. I do declare Todd, you are definitely on to something. Why, I fear she's giving me the vapors. . .

Why, just imagine -- she's defending herself -- how cat-ish!

And then, faced off against a well-respected Neanderthal such as yourself, Todd, and having to respond to your masterful command of scientific gibberish, why, she's acting totally un-ladylike and calling to account the "man" in the contest.

I declare, Todd, but you have it right -- she's being downright "aggressive," and unless you can put a halt to her impertinence she's quite likely to be seated in the Senate come January. Why, you'd think all her lady parts (and especially her mind) were working overtime to expel an unwanted parasite from the body politic. Whatever does that say for her opinion of you, Todd?

Oh, oh, I best fan myself!
