The latest buzz phrase by an anti-choice GOP looking for a way around Roe V. Wade is “pain-capable.” Forget the science of it; it’s the phrase that counts.

If a former OB/GYN really believes this crap about masturbating fetuses, he’s the new recipient of the ‘Most Asinine Anti-Abortion Comment’ Award.

Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) joined Todd Akin in the realm of Republican men who were either absent during health ed or listening to Pat Robertson instead.

The GOP continues to implode from within, as former half-term Alaskan Governor and reality TV star Sarah Palin’s trashing of former bosom buddy Karl Rove was responded to in kind.

For true meanness, none can top the queen, Ms. Ann Coulter. And in true form, she didn’t disappoint.

Writer Zerlina Maxwell: ‘Don’t tell me if I’d only had a gun, I wouldn’t have been raped. Don’t put it on me to prevent the rape.’ And THAT inspired hate.

It’s said that Rep. Black and her hubby are worth more than $33 million… no worries for her on all this Obamacare stuff.

Greig contradicted her own condemnation of Akin’s comments by clearly claiming that rape pregnancies are rare because of the violence of the act, even though studies, surveys, and statistics prove that rape causes pregnancy just as much as or more than consensual sex.

Republican women gather to figure out why American women don’t like (and won’t vote for) the GOP…and completely miss the mark.

A conservative OB-GYN defended Todd Akins’ ‘legitimate rape’ remarks at a Chamber of Commerce meeting. He’s either a liar, or the WORST obstetrician/gynecologist EVER!

For him to co-opt the issue of Obama’s Cabinet diversity in a crass attempt to wrap himself in the mantle of ‘fighter for women’ is beyond pathetic.

Virginia Republicans rejected Del. Bob Marshall’s ridiculous personhood measure and his transvaginal ultrasound bill was thankfully neutered, but that’s not going to stop him.

Apparently, Tea makes you stupid. Then again, anyone who’s attended a Tea Party rally shouldn’t be surprised by this finding.

‘Crazy Eyes’ biting off more than she can chew, an electoral map covered in ‘Santorum,’ Mittens packing fudge, Trump’s hell toupee, and other unforgettable images from Election 2012.

Whether spoken by a high-profile politician, or one of their high-profile supporters, these one-line (or two-line) zingers have helped frame 2012′s most important political debates.

Hold on to ye hats as we recap the GOP’s 12 most jaw-dropping moments of 2012.
