Legitimate rape

Post by Berserker »

You'd think senators would at least look shit up on wikipedia to see if it's true or just some medieval concept, before blurting stupidities on the air.

EDIT: I misread. He's not a senator. He's running for senate.

"First of all, from what I understand from doctors, that's really rare," Akin said of rape-induced pregnancy in an interview with KTVI. "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down,"

Later that evening...
"In reviewing my off-the-cuff remarks, it's clear that I misspoke in this interview and it does not reflect the deep empathy I hold for the thousands of women who are raped and abused every year"

Serban: You're a dumbass..

Two minutes later...
Serban: In reviewing my off-the-cuff remarks, it's clear that I misspoke and it does not reflect just how intelligent I think you are. (notice that I didn't even appologize in this statement clearly showing that I am NOT sorry about the "misspoken" statement).
