shipperxI've got to stop making these posts, because, quite frankly, there's just wayyyyy too much fodder for them.
Anyway, after yesterday's post about Missouri Senate candidate Akin's severe ignorance about reproduction and biology (with a huge helping of misogyny) another sitting U.S. Representative (this one from Iowa) chose to chime in defending Akin while adding his own severe stupidity:
This would be the same congressman who came up with THIS jaw-dropper a few weeks ago:
BTW - that's all against the law.

Rep. Steve King told an Iowa reporter he’s never heard of a girl getting pregnant from statutory rape or incest.
This would be the same congressman who came up with THIS jaw-dropper a few weeks ago:
"What I've said is that we need to respect humans more than we do animals. Whenever we start elevating animals up to, to above that of humans, we've crossed a moral line. For example, if there's a sexual predator out there who has impregnated a young girl, say a 13 year old girl, and it happens in America more times than you and I like to think, that sexual predator can pick that girl off the playground at the middle school and haul her across the state line and force her to get an abortion to eradicate the evidence of his crime, and bring her back and drop her off at the swing set, and that's not against the law in the United States of America..."
BTW - that's all against the law.
