It appears the natural functioning of Rep. Akin's vendors fails to suspend itself when subjected to a legitimate screwing. Says CBS' St. Louis affiliate:
Todd Akin’s TV ads are, reportedly, being yanked from stations across the state because his campaign isn’t paying the bills.
Yankeris interruptus, taxonomically; also known as clusterfuckus abortus.
Oh, now Todd, is that really God's way? And is this--"An Akin spokesman told KOMU that it was a scheduling mistake and the final portion of their payments is coming in the mail, so to speak"--merely an attempted end-run around the Big Guy's not too mysterious ways?
Gee and I thought that he was getting more donations from playing the victim of the republican establishment?

And I thought the Republican establishment was going to pick up his tab again once he was out of the news (as if nobody would notice if that happened)?

I am pretty sure the PACs will come to his rescue and he will win.

Hopefully his debate with Bill Nye will restore his fortunes with the non monkey people.

Some of his supporters are blaming the TV stations for dropping his ads, and not the fact that he isn't paying his bills! It's so depressing sometimes realizing that there are some people who are so uninformed that they'll twist reality to fit their perspective.
