Rep. Steve King adds to GOP's Todd Akin problem [View all]
It's been a hard two days for the Grand Old Party.
Trying to deflect attention from Todd Akin, who has gone rogue, has been akin to when they tried to deflect attention away from Sarah Palin, who went rogue four years ago.
You can't put that kind of genie back in the bottle, particularly when there's more than one genie.
All those folks who either said Akin was a fluke, an anomaly and that his words - that legitimate rape doesn't end in pregnancy - were a slip of the tongue or a lapse in judgment, weren't expecting Rep. Steve King.
The Iowa Republican has been defending Akin, and he must have decided that the best way to draw attention away from Akin, was to say something as stupid.
