Hey, remember Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin? Well, in case you've somehow managed to scrub his odious existence from your mind, he's pretty awesome! He's got lots of cool ideas about women and rape and abortion!
A few years ago, he lost the Missouri Senate race to Senator Claire McCaskill, for mysterious reasons lost to the sands of time, but now we might have the chance to get to know him all over again, because he's thinking of primarying Missouri's Republican Senator Roy Blunt!
"I have not ruled anything out," the 2012 nominee said, according to The Hill on Wednesday. "I think there is a high level of dissatisfaction among conservatives, that they have to some degree been pushed out of the Republican Party. The sentiment is there. The Tea Party is skeptical and wants some fresh blood, not just the same establishment guys."Good luck to Todd Akin and the Missouri Tea Party, who will definitely be bringing a lot of fresh new ideas to modern politics.
