I’m not sure how to react to the “legitimate rape” video – it makes the point really well, and is weirdly funny, and is rather horrifying. Which, I think, is the point, but watching it left me feeling a bit queasy.
Which, come to think of it, is how I feel about the entire Akin/Republican party/rape conversation – queasy. I think Congressman Akin literally makes me sick.
