Yeah - Huckabee was just lucky enough to have the guy go rogue on his show. Had to help his ratings.

The temperature in those buildings was what, 250 degrees on 9-11, Todd, only you would even think of checking someone's ID before saving them.

Good for Akin in not backing down to pressure from his own party. Now it's up to Missourians to vote for someone who is not a goddamned moron of the highest [expletive] order.

They by their lives speak as Americans about what we think about the value of human beings and how much respect we hold people with.
This guy does not speak English as a first language, right? That sentence makes absolutely no sense, breaks laws of grammar, and is just...it's just...what is he trying to say? Man, I really hope this guy doesn't quit - it's a cake walk for sure for his opponent.

Steve King never heard of anyone getting pregnant from statuatory rape

Yes! Maybe we can get rid of both of these idiots!

King is up against Christie Vilsack, the wife of the aforementioned former Iowa governor. King is currently leading, but the race is just heating up.

I'm not holding my breath, though, because King has already said all kinds of crazy crap in the past.

For years, Mother Teresa cared for the sick, poor and hungry. She didn't check their ID to see whether they were important or not. Just fed them and clothed them. Her life speaks to us about what we think about the value of human beings and how much respect we hold people with.


What I'm saying is that I gave $30 to the charity "Kids Against Hunger".

Mother Teresa was not an American and never opposed gay marriage, so what you did was potentially subversive.

Listen to this. Seriously. It makes the initial legitimate rape comment almost sound reasonable.

Todd, you moron, nobody thought you said that rapists were legitimate.

Oh and Dana Loesch might be as dumb as Akin.
