5. Here's another ignorant Republican. Keep wondering under what rock did they crawl out from?

What must female supporters of John Koster, the Republican candidate in the First Congressional District, make of his remarks about "the rape thing" and his view - unsubstantiated - that incest is rare?

The Times Editorial Board endorsed Koster. His willingness to examine tax laws and loopholes and push for tougher financial regulations may spur other Republicans in Congress.

But before Koster can get to D.C., he must go deep in his brain and figure out the source of the absurd, mysognistic things coming out of his mouth. For example:
"... Incest is so rare, I mean it's so rare," Koster says in statements that were recorded. "But the rape thing, you know, I know a woman who was raped and kept her child, gave it up for adoption and doesn't regret it. In fact she's a big pro-life proponent. But, on the rape thing, it's like, how does putting more violence onto a woman's body and taking the life of an innocent child that's a consequence of this crime, how does that make it better?"
