Todd Akin apologizes for “legitimate rape” remark<\/a>:
From The Onion<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\n
You see, what I said was, \u201cIf it\u2019s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.\u201d But what I meant to say was, \u201cI am a worthless, moronic sack of shit and an utterly irredeemable human being who needs to shut up and go away forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is clear to me now that I did not choose my words with care and did not get across the point I was trying to convey. In hindsight, I guess instead of using the words \u201clegitimate rape,\u201d I should have used the words \u201cI am an unforgivable, unrepentant, and unconscionable subhuman dickhead.\u201d Or better yet, \u201cI am an evil, fucked-up man who should never have been elected to the United States Congress, and anyone who would vote for me is probably a pretty big fucking dumbshit, too.\u201d See how much more sense that makes? It\u2019s amazing how a few key word changes can totally alter the meaning of a statement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There’s a lot more.<\/p>\n

I Misspoke\u2014What I Meant To Say Is ‘I Am Dumb As Dog Shit And I Am A Terrible Human Being’<\/a><\/p>\n
