Grannies give Todd Akin his own ‘Legitimate Rape’ theme song

Hell hath no fury like a renegade raging granny.

Of all the tributes paid Todd Akin since his “women can’t get pregnant via legitimate rape” debacle, this one is probably our favorite. Sure, Akin’s been eviscerated by Rachel Maddow and received rape threats of his own (that’s at least one legitimate rape that won’t end in pregnancy), but there’s something deeply satisfying about seeing a group of grannies sing an upbeat a cappella tune about legitimate and cap it off with the lyric, “fuck you.”

Give ‘em hell, grannies.
