I had heard more about Rep.  Todd Akin's unfortunate choice of words on the subject of rape in the last few days than I had heard about the actual commission of rape in the last decade, including rapes and other sexual abuses by members of a certain political party.

You'd think the Dems would forgive Akin his ignorance on rape.  He does not have anywhere near their hands-on experience.  Bill Clinton, by contrast, always knew what to tell a rape victim: "You better put some ice on that."
