First things first: Booman, don’t ever do that again! The laptop in the rain thing, that is. But seriously, have you seen this story?
Jon Huntsman, lagging in public opinion polls, has scored big on Twitter with a shot at a rival’s dismissive comments about evolution and global warming.
“To be clear. I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming. Call me crazy,” he tweeted Thursday in a jab at Texas Governor Rick Perry, a top-tier candidate for the party’s presidential nomination.
I guess Huntsman is going for the non-Fundie sane Republican vote. Good luck with that.
I’m tempted to switch parties just to vote for him. I don’t think an insane opposition party is helpful, even if it might be easier to beat in elections.
Have you seen this?
I really liked this comment.
Not until you gave me the link, though I’m not surprised. I’m sure Perry would take a similar position. I wonder how the Republican candidates break down on these issues now.
Santorum: “Yes, does the climate change? Of course it does, it’s changed for thousands of years.”
Thousands.
Not millions. Not hundreds of thousands.
He’s a Young Earther.
It was bad enough having a Vice Presidential Candidate Republican candidate who was anti-science; now it’s possible one may top the ticket. Although Mitt Romney still admits climate change is real and due to human activity. Still, which is crazier? Denying the earth is warming, or admitting that it is but taking the position we shouldn’t do anything about it?
Remember this lady? She. Will. Not. Be. IGNORED, dammit!
Looks kinda like a campaign ad, doesn’t it?
Mama Grizzly is coming back on Sept 3rd to turn the Koch-Whore Tea Party event in Iowa into a religious revival with even bigger crowds than Rick Perry was able to draw to his prayer event. With special guest Glenn Beck! People are expecting an announcement about whether God Himself has decided that she must save America or not.
Palin : Politics :: Zsa Zsa Gabor : Film.
People love her. She’s huge. Big fan base, major celebrity.
I heard she was in something once.
“Major celebrity.” I think you’re on to something there, joe. A celebrity is someone who is famous for being famous. When I was a kid watching Hollywood Squares and To Tell the Truth, I wondered what all those celebrities were famous for, besides being regulars on a game show. I can see Palin becoming that kind of celebrity someday.
Her inability to engage in quick, witty repartee hampers any hope she may have of appearing on shows as sophisticated as Hollywood Squares.
Unfortunately for Huntsman, he is now going to find that the forces of natural selection and random mutation have resulted in a severely accelerated case of punctuated equilibrium and rendered the species extinct that he is trying to capture. The previous species, Republicanus Compromisis, has evolved into a whole new and distinct species called Republicanus Conservatis Radicalis, which shares absolutely no DNA or characteristics with it’s nearby neighbor on the evolutionary tree.
I believe he will find that this new species has the ability to completely evade him with the tools and weapons he has at his disposal. I hear that the new species will even actually seek out and eat the fossils of Republicanus Compromisis in an effort to eradicate any evidence of its existence on this planet.
