1. Oh, fer Chrissake, think it through.

First, who gives a shit what filt pours out of minor wannabee Matt Drudges?

And if by some process of satanic intervention the line goes viral in the Wingnutosphere, it will do nothing to help them with two major groups: Women, and men who generally support women's issues. And that is a lot of guys.

4. Sorry I disagree with you

I actually did sign the petition calling on CNN to take him off the air. He is a sexist pig.

5. It's relevant because

It's yet another example of a Republican man spouting off about women in a way he shouldn't be.

Perhaps not as bad as Todd Akin territory, but ignorant nonetheless.

Just because he's some minor rw talking head.

6. it isn't the "vagina monologues" that scare widdle eric, it is the "vagina dentata"

Vagina dentata

Vagina dentata (Latin for toothed vagina) describes a folk tale in which a woman's vagina is said to contain teeth, with the associated implication that sexual intercourse might result in injury or castration for the man.

In folklore

Such folk stories are frequently told as cautionary tales warning of the dangers of sex with strange women and to discourage rape.[1]

Erich Neumann relays one such myth in which "a fish inhabits the vagina of the Terrible Mother; the hero is the man who overcomes the Terrible Mother, breaks the teeth out of her vagina, and so makes her into a woman."[2]

The legend also appears in the mythology of the Chaco and Guiana tribes of South America. In some versions, the hero leaves one tooth.[3] An Ainu language tale containing this element was published as "The Island of Women" by Basil Hall Chamberlain, where it was described as a well known Japanese tale by E. B. Tylor.[4]
