This is such a wonderfully pathetic tweet:
It's also Todd Akin's last because not longer afterwards he found out the Claire McCaskill had handed him his ass in the Missouri Senate race. That he never tweeted again makes it even more wonderful.
Now, in an excerpt from her book, Sen. McCaskill reveals how she orchestrated Akin's nomination so that she could do that ass-handing later. See below the braided orange river.
In short, in a masterpiece of polling and advertising, she discovered that Akin, who was well behind in the polls, had a message that would resonate with the worst sort of Republicans, those who vote in primaries, while simultaneously repelling everyone else. The story is fantastic. Read it all here in this Politico excerpt.
The best part: Todd Akin thought God got him nominated. In fact it was Claire McCaskill.
