Sarah Palin is an expert on being taken out of context, and made to look dumb by the media and establishment. She is very loudly calling Akin an idiot and a jerk for not stepping down. If anyone should be able to parse his words to make them not seem dumb, or to find a sensible meaning, or to support a Tea Party Pro-Life conservative against the establishment, it would be her.
