Wow! How oh-so-edgy of the NBC television series “Law & Order SVU.” The show’s showrunner breathlessly tweets the news, too.

As does the ever-absurd Sen. McCaskill, who is still gleefully gloating over Todd Akin’s remarks.

Next SVU: Akin and legitimate rape. Ugh.

Ugh, indeed. Now Hollyweird writers are resorting to dredging up old and tired news in order to expose their bias.

More from Ace of Spades:
1, I didn’t know this show was still even on.
2, “Ripped from the headlines”? Which headlines? Last August’s? Hey I’ve got a Ripped From the Headlines plot I’d like to pitch– it’s about this big boat, see, that hits an iceberg, see? Very big to-do a short time ago in all the local rags. Lots of fellers n’ dames were talking about it at the Automat, see?
