David Axelrod: Obama's Last Push 'Coming From His Loins'

Source: Huffington Post

"I've known him for 20 years. We've worked closely for 10 years. I've never seen him more exhilarated than he is right now. He believes in what he's doing. He believes in what he's fighting for," Axelrod said.

"You know, you can see in the speech that he's delivering that he, you know, that he, this is coming from his loins," Axelrod said.

The reporters gathered around Axelrod tittered, and he was visibly thrown off balance for a moment. He tried to recover quickly by joking about the comment.

"And uh -- I just wanted to say loins. I wanted to see if I could get loins in the story," he said.

Has Axelrod lost his mind thinking this will appeal to the RW Xtians in my area of the country?

You really need to look at how they triumph and how they've managed to get our newest immigrants into their RW FOLD to say what you just did.

But..maybe I misread you...and if I did...apologize for snarking with you.

I figured they would turn "loin" into something tittilating to their masses. They rarely miss a chance.

Snark? I should think.

It's 4:45 and I'm bored. I got a lot of pictures of lions, and odd definitions and quotes, but finally found this image. Evidently, these are human loins.



So loins are the entire pelvic area, hmmmm....

David Axelrod used an odd choice of words!
