Republicans ran away from Todd Akin this week as fast as they could. Their efforts to distance themselves from the Missouri Congressman reminded me of "American Woman," released in 1970 by The Guess Who. This is the short version:
American Akin, stay away from us
American Akin, please get off our bus
Don't come anywhere near our show
Tampa's just fine without you, you know.
We've got more important things to do
Than spend our time out there defending you
Now Akin, we said stay away
American Akin, listen what we say
American Akin, stay away from us
American Akin, please get off our bus
Gotta stop talking 'bout rape, old man,
You're messing up our grand old plan
Privately we're there with you
But we can't afford to lose
Now Akin, we said get away
American Akin, listen what we say
Go, gotta get away, gotta get away
Now go, go, go, gotta leave us, Akin,
Gotta leave us, Akin,
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye
You're no good for us
We're no good for you
Gonna look you right in the eye
Tell you what you're gonna do
You know you're gonna leave
You know you're gonna go
[Fade]
