There are stupid comments, and then there are white-hot, surface of the sun type stupid comments. Expounding on the magical abilities of women's reproductive organs that can ward off "rape sperm" is thermonuclear hot stupid. Meta-stupid. So stupid to be so far off the chart it actually seems intelligent. There are some third-rails that are so toxic they don't even get talked about, and rape is one of them.
It's astounding to me a six-term Congressman failed to notice this salient fact.
Look on the bright side - at least they didn’t catch him skinny dipping in the Sea of Galilee.
