333 million ways to put Todd Akin in perspective

Movie, TV and stage producers were hired to construct a G.O.P. Convention set that will make Mitt Romney appear less "stiff, aloof, and distant," than he actually is.

If movie magic works for Mechanical Mitt, the producers ought to see if there's some way to make Todd Akin, the Mighty Moron Misogynist from Missouri, appear more bearable than he actually is, which would seem really important to the G.O.P at this time.

I Googled "rape movies" for some background. There were 274 million returns, so there's no shortage of information. Then I had a dark thought, inspired by that 274 million: why would so many people visit "rape movies" sites?

So I Googled "rape videos." Three hundred and thirty-three million returns. Including this one, the sixth link in the list: "Rape Board: Message board for people who wish to roleplay and discuss rape fantasies." I clicked it. There were menus for "Rape gallery," "Incest gallery," "Bestiality gallery," "Gay sex gallery," "Anime gallery," and "Scat gallery."

I unclicked it. Now I will spend minutes or hours trying to vomit this sick feeling out of my throat, and months or years trying to unclick "Rape Board" from my mind.

All the same, if the goal is to make Todd Akin appear more bearable, "Rape Board" does the job. Against that kind of sub-human background, Akin is not Mighty at all, nor is he an important upper-case Moron or Misogynist who could spoil a convention setting. He is simply a barely significant lower-case moron and misogynist who needs to do the research (and tell his cohorts to do the same) before shooting his mouth off about deeply significant (333 million returns!) women's issues like rape, rapists, and abortion, all in the name of acquiring enough votes to get into the United States Senate.
