The Academy of Dung Beetles' award went to Todd Akin of Missouri, yesterday, for damaging the Republican Party with idiotic opinions about rape and pregnancy, then refusing to quit. Now another sleazeball has surfaced, a Democrat this time, who claims that oral sex he had with a 17-year-old boy at an interstate rest stop is a "private matter." Today's Dungbeetle Award is being rolled towards Minnesota Rep. Kerry Gauthier.
