There have been several diaries written on Todd Akin's wading the Rubicon en-route to an epic ass kicking by Claire McCaskill, most notably cdub24's excellent Hurt Locker rumination and Laura Clawson's fine effort.
I myself have written about Akin several times since the GOP primary and spend a lot of time thinking (and a lot of time working for Claire) trying to avert the calamity that would be Todd Akin and Roy Blunt representing my beloved home state in the U.S. Senate.
But it occurs to me that as hideous as that prospect is, what is even worse is the possibility that the whole country would suffer the indignity of having this country bumpkin and his senior, the Snake Oil salesman, operating in a Senate controlled by their misogynist, racist, ignorant political party.
And it also occurs to me that if the whole country is so threatened than the whole country should be made aware of the nature of that threat.
More beneath the bump.
