Those of us who live in St. Louis and know Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) are a little less shocked than the rest of the nation by his bizarre comments about "legitimate rape" and pregnancy. This isn't his first brush with intellectual creepiness and won't be his last.
Unlike so many others who use claims of piety to bolster their image, Akin is the real deal when it comes to holy rolling. Throughout his career, he has repeatedly stated that God called upon him to run for public office. Really.
So in Akin's self-righteous mind, this may well come down to a choice between listening to God or listening to Ann Coulter. Now there's a choice for you.
