In the hopes of avoiding any more Todd Akins, Republican leaders in Washington recently launched a hilarious effort to teach members how to talk to, and about, women.

“Let me put it this way, some of these guys have a lot to learn,” one GOP staffer told Politico [ http://www.politico.com/story/2013/12/gop-men-tutored-in-running-against-women-100701.html ].

That certainly looks to be the case for one North Dakota state legislator. Here’s what State Sen. Dwight Cook said in an interview with a local radio station [ http://kfgo.com/podcasts/news-views-with-joel-heitkamp/939/cook-duplicating-interim-committee-work-doesnt-bother-me/ ; the audio http://media.mwcradio.com/podcasts/news-views-with-joel-heitkamp/125/news-views-with-joel-heitkamp-125.mp3 (near the end)], which was flagged by Taegan Goddard [ http://politicalwire.com/archives/2013/12/06/bonus_quote_of_the_day.html ]:

Let me explain it this way, Joel, and you might feel the same way. When I find out my wife’s been shopping at a home improvement store, I get nervous. I wonder what ideas are going on in her pretty little head and ‘What’s it going to cost me?’

Maybe this guy skipped class?
