Richard Mourdock for Senate (still)

Posted by William A. Jacobson on October 26, 2012 16 Comments

Nothing has changed, in my view. Mourdock's comments are being portrayed as "pro-rape" by his political opponents, but that is a gross mischaracterization. Some thoughtful writers have pointed this out even as they disagree with Mourdock on substance, including this post at WaPo by Melinda Hennenberger: Last spring,...

You remember Aunt Bea. The Aunt on Elizabeth Warren's mother's side who supposedly a thousand times told Warren that Warren's maternal ancestors had "high cheekbones like all the Indian's do."
