Bat Shit Crazy Congressman's Doctor/Advisor Has a Double Elpee Set!

Michael Fremer  |  Aug 23, 2012

Sometimes a large record collection yields up unexpected treasures. Last week Tea Party/GOP Missouri Congressman Todd Akins asserted in a television interview that when it comes to rape, “The female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

What happened next you surely know. The doctor who assured Akins this was true is a Dr. J.C. Willke a "founding father" of the pro-life movement.

The name sounded familiar so I began searching through a wall of unplayed records and sure enough I have his double LP set How to Teach Children The WONDER OF SEX. Considering the misinformation Willke fed Akins, I can only imagine what he told these poor children about sex.

No wait! I take that back. Thanks to the wonders of the vinyl LP, I won't have to wonder too much longer. Even though the record is sealed, I'll risk reducing its collectibility by breaking the seal and playing but I've decided to leave it up to you, the analog planet.com reader to tell me whether or not I should review it.

So let me know!

I am curious.  Open that baby up and give it a spin for sh!ts and grins.   On the other hand, you could try and flip it for more that the $145 opened VG copy is going on eBay.   Take advantage now while it is still fresh in the news.

Will this be a legitimate raping of the seal, or an illegitimate one?

It's always funny to me when a couple presumes to give us advice on sexual "wonder." In the high-end audio world it reminds us of the time Kim Cattrall and Mark Levinson cowrote, "The Art of the Female Orgasm" (I'm not kidding, you can look it up!).

Kim and Mark divorced soon after the book was published.  Perhaps Mark didn't master the "art."

As to the question you asked:

Don't open it!  The sonic merits of this recording are not relevant, we all just want to hear Dr and Mrs. Willke's advice.  There's got to be an MP3 version floating around the internet (perhaps in WFMU's archives).

Do sell it now.  I can't imagine it being more valuable in the future.

Well I opened it..... but I'll digitize and sell once I listen so I can make room for Pat Robertson's album on the joys of weed.

I bet if you try to open that LP, it will find ways of blocking you.

And the RIAA has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.

He must know something about the subject, look at all those little crumbsnatchers. Screwed himself right out of a place at the table!

This would be hilairious. I would be interested in hearing the nonsense he has to say. Should be instant entertainment.

Thanks for that! I opened it... but haven't played.... I have a song on FMU in rotation. I Jerry Garcia parody by Jerry Gorilla and the Eternally Dead... called "Sugar-y."<p>

First line is "When your septum falls apart and they carry your nose away...."

Since jtpolk found the mp3 files, maybe I wouldn't open it.

Maybe Al Franken can reprise his SNL about Leslie Stahl which was pretty pathetic.

Mikey,

Once you've played it and enlightened us all on the wonders of sex ya gotta burn that thing.  Otherwise some GOP kook out there will buy it and reference it as some sort of factual evidence to support their archaic platform.

I don't think this is the best place to discuss politics or bash parties. Let's leave that to other places and and stick with analog audio discussion. Just my .02 cents

Well judging from the front cover I'm assuming track 1 is "Daddy's An ol' Horn Dog segued with "Mama Sure Is Easy."

Mikey,

To quote Nike, Just Do It.  A little politics will liven up the web site.  Opinions about LPs vs CDs gets boring after a while. 

Thanks,

John
