Oops! Akin now says that he "misspoke." Words came out of his mouth that were not first formed in his brain? He was mistaken and has since learned better? He will say anything at all to get his way, but wasn't smart enough to know that these particular words were not going to help him get what he wants? (And now he's doing exactly the same thing?) Misspoke. Right.
At least, since he's running for Senate (and seems likely to get trounced), he is presumably giving up his House seat, so we won't be seeing much more of him come Nov. Chris .......
