'Legitimate rape' mocked in new music video calling for the return of Sarah Palin (VIDEO)

PRLog (Press Release) - Sep. 15, 2012 - A new parody music video "Pumpin" for Palin" by indie piano rocker Jeff Michaels has hit YouTube this week. In the video Michaels humorously calls for the return of Sarah Palin as a solution to the current state of Washington. He openly mocks the concept of ‘legitimate rape’ made famous by US Representative and Missouri Republican Senatorial candidate Todd Akin, in support of Women's rights.

According to Michaels, Sarah Palin may have been a poor choice for VP candidate, but "at least that brown-eyed Maverick had class."

This past month Senator Akin made a statement regarding the improbability of pregnancy during what he referred to as "legitimate rape." The issue sparked responses from presidential candidate Mitt Romney and VP candidate Paul Ryan, who are both pro-life supporters, and a sharp response from President Obama defending the rights of women.

This has been one of the more controversial themes of this upcoming presidential election.

Sample Lyrics:

Things have got a little crazy here in Washington
White men trying to rule the uterus
Pro-life, pro-choice, pro-retardation
What did we do to deserve this?

So now we're up all night Pumpin for Palin
Waiting for the day that she comes sailing
Out of our dreams and back into our lives

She's a maverick and a mom
A killer combination
Yeah, that's the girl we want running our nation
She can see Russia from her front drive
And we want her back into our lives


Michaels is an independent singer/songwriter from Boston, MA.
