Belly-Akin: McCaskill Wasn’t ‘Ladylike’ In Debate

Todd Akin noted that Sen. Claire McCaskill was "aggressive" and less "ladylike" in their debate last week than during her 2006 debates, the Kansas City Star reports.

“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.”

If there's one person who probably should stop talking about proper lady behavior, it's Todd Akin, the guy who thinks women have magic lady parts that detect and deflect "legitimate" rape sperm in order to "shut that whole thing down." Instead, Akin's decided he's not content to merely play doctor; he wants to be Miss Manners now too and dole out etiquette advice to his opponent. And it is just so uncouth and unladylike for his opponent to point out his magic lady parts theory.

But that's the Republican Party: bitter men insisting that women who challenge them are "not a lady" and are even shrinking their penises and neutering them. Hell, they can't even tolerate hearing the word "vagina", a word so "offensive," they think it can't be said in front of women. They just cannot stand being called on their bullshit, and they'll go so far as to exclude women from their hearings on women's health care in order to make sure they don't have to hear something "unladylike."

and maybe Obama can swing MO blue...

Just keep hammering with Akin's stupidity and Rmoney's 47% comment.

Obama's ads are deadly and to the point.

Even the low information voters are starting to get it.

(They cannot get pregnant from rape) I don't think your credibility about women and ladies is very high.

Put another way, take a long walk off of a short pier, Mr. Akin!
