http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/22/david-catanese-todd-akin-politico_n_1821005.htmlNEW YORK - Politico reporter David Catanese apologized Tuesday night for tweeting in defense of Republican Rep. Todd Akin two days earlier, following the Missouri Congressman's controversial comment about "legitimate rape."
The entire incident was a misjudgment on my part. It was never my intent to lend support to Rep. Akin's inexcusable remarks.
My only aim was to evoke a discussion -- from the neutral vantage point of a reporter -- about whether there were different ways of interpreting what Akin meant with his words.
The effort failed badly, because of my own imprecise wording.

Adding all this shit about "imprecise wording" and "My only aim was..." just lets everyone know that he's nothing more than a simpleton douchebag.

(61,698 posts)Apparently there is a subculture of morans out there who believe that women who are raped don't get pregnant. I guess this is the same group that things the earth is flat and was created 6,000 years ago by an English-speaking God.

Perhaps a refresher course on English vocabulary is in order...
