Akin Campaign Adviser Makes Dog Joke Aimed at McCaskill

Called her "Bullshitsu"

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A top campaign adviser to Rep. Todd Akin, the Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Missouri, compared Akin's opponent to a dog via Twitter on Monday, apparently running with a remark made by the candidate over the weekend.

"If Claire McCaskill were a dog, she'd be a 'Bullshitsu,'" Rick Tyler tweeted Monday.
