...on Wednesday, Rep. Larry Liston, R-Colorado Springs, called unmarried teen parents "sluts" at a Republican caucus.

...

Liston used the derogatory term during a Republican caucus lunch on health care to express his view that unmarried teen parents are sexually promiscuous and to complain that society condones premarital sex.

"In my parents' day and age, (unmarried teen parents) were sent away, they were shunned, they were called what they are," Liston said at the lunch. "There was at least a sense of shame.

"There's no sense of shame today. Society condones it ... I think it's wrong. They're sluts."

Liston apologized for his word choice Thursday afternoon.

"I'm definitely sorry that I ever used that word," he told the Rocky. "I had no intention of offending anybody. That was not my intent all — never was, never has been."

Sounds like he'd fit right in with Chris Matthews and David Shuster.
