Todd Akin Compares Claire McCaskill to a Dog

WASHINGTON (AP) — Embattled GOP Senate hopeful Todd Akin says Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill fetches Washington headaches and brings them back to Missouri like a ‘‘dog.’’

‘‘She goes to Washington, D.C., and it’s a little bit like, you know, one of those dog (games), ‘fetch,'’’ Akin said at a Saturday night fundraiser, his remarks recorded by the PoliticMo.com website.

‘‘She goes to Washington, D.C., and gets all of these taxes and red tape and bureaucracy and executive orders and agencies and she brings all of this stuff and dumps it on us in Missouri,’’ Akin added. ‘‘And it seems to me that she’s got it just backwards. What we should be doing is taking the common sense that we see in Missouri and taking that to Washington, D.C., and blessing them with some solutions instead of more problems.’’

McCaskill did not immediately comment.
