There is NO WAY Akin’s comments could be taken out of context. He screwed up.

They're not only taking his comments out of context, they're taking the MEANINGS out of his words. The Dems are saying he was trying to say some rapes are "legitimate," meaning "good!" I don't know how you GET more out of context then claiming someone meant something that they didn't say.

The Dems are twisting the comments? No surprises there, but come on, even you have to admit, what he said not only feeds a negative narrative, but also was factually false. He made a statement based on false logic and also worded it terribly. If this was in any way salvageable, other senators would not be rebuking his comments.

Rush is back tomorrow. His only chance is a do over after his poor showing on Hannity. He needs to say either 1 - he was differentiating between a woman who was really raped vs. one who was making such claim to get an abortion.....in this case legitimate meaning a real claim of rape, not just making it up... or 2 - he was differentiating between actual violent rape and statutory rape

Will it be good enough? Who knows.
