Just when you thought it was safe to be from South Dakota!

Feminsting:

South Dakota state Rep. Joel Dykstra--who The Hill reports has entered the race for the Republican nomination to face Sen. Tim Johnson (D) in 2008--has some interesting ideas about sexual assault:

"I think 'rape and incest' is a buzzword. It's a bit of a throwaway line and not everybody who says that really understands what that means. How are you going to define that?” --South Dakota state Rep. Joel Dykstra
(R-Lincoln County) on why the state legislature didn't include those
exceptions in its abortion ban, April 20, 2006.

I'm pretty sure that the women (and men, for that matter) in South Dakota know exactly what rape and incest mean. Maybe Dykstra needs someone to explain it to him.

As if we need another reason for Tim Johnson to marshal his way back to full health.

Rape and incest, yeah, really tricky.
