Akin Isn't Being Very Gentlemanlike

Perhaps the most destabilizing factor in this campaign is Akin's mouth. We hope it doesn't stop anytime soon.

He said McCaskill wasn't very "ladylike" at their most recent debate, via the Kansas City Star. 

What does Akin think women are?

^What, not who. Since he's only learned how women's bodies work a little more than a month ago, maybe it's time for another lesson. 

Claire was assertive, confrontational and fired up at their Press association debate. This doesn't fit his definition of "ladylike," yet those are essential characteristics required out of a leader.

So if women aren't leaders when they're being leader-like, what are they? He told us.

"The first two minutes, wow, it's like somebody let a wildcat out of the cage," he said at a campaign stop.

Hunting cat. Animal. Women & cat fights. Ugly, messy, noisy affairs in alleyways. You can see where this metaphor is going.

Akin's ideal woman

"Behave, let the men take charge." 

Akin may look like a frumpy old man but don't let that deceive you! our expose-->

This man's view on women is outrageous. Even his allies know it -- former Republican Senator Jack Danforth can't get behind Akin.

His general "ignore the world, Republicans will fund me again because they want the Senate" strategy won't stop his antiquated views on women from caustically creeping through Missouri.

Elsewhere, outside of Akin land

Claire has said she finds the statements outrageous and hopes her supporters defend her. Certainly it's not worth her time dwelling on this issue.
