********Akin's certainly not.  He was roundly condemned by just about every Republican on the planet.  Interestingly, Obama, who had time to condemn Akin and Mourdock, had nothing to say about the slurs thrown by Maher and Olbermann.  All the more reason why the article is grossly unfair.    Now, could you stop interrogating me with these "when did you stop beating your wife" type of questions.  It is getting awfully tiresome.
