Скачать или смотреть Piers Morgan: Todd Akin is a "Gutless Little Twerp"

Rep. Todd Akin is starting to learn that one is the loneliest number.

The defiant candidate—who says he will stay in the Missouri Senate race despite disappearing support and even calls to withdraw from his own party—has now made another enemy in CNN host Piers Morgan.

Rep. Akin was a no-show on Morgan's program Monday night, after agreeing to an interview in the wake of comments about abortion that have the Tea Party favorite on the defensive. Morgan showed an empty chair where he said Akin would have been sitting if he hadn't backed out from the interview at the last minute. "You are what we would call in Britain, a gutless little twerp," said Morgan.

After suggesting women's bodies somehow rejected pregnancy in cases of "legitimate rape" in order to defend his anti-abortion stance, Rep. Akin has lost funding and support from his own party. Akin's claiming a right to life when it comes to his campaign, but his candidacy seems thoroughly on deathwatch.
