I have to say that when Bill Maher announced that every week he will roll out another embarrassing old clip of Christine O'Donnell from his show, I thought it was sort of funny, but not really in the spirit of "restoring sanity". The witchraft and masturbation stuff seemed silly and relatively harmless. I giggled and moved on. But the clip he rolled out last night has changed my mind. Another anti-science candidate is on the loose.
Do we seriously have a candidate for Senate in 2010 who doesn't even understand the basic concepts of evolution? This is appalling on so many levels. How the hell did she get out of high school? I am, however, beginning to understand Sarah Palin's affinity with her. All we're missing is the red hooker pumps and the Katie Couric interview.
I know I should be thrilled because, really, who would vote for this woman (we've got this senate seat sewn up!)? But just the fact that she was able to win the nomination is enough to keep me up at night.
Can you imagine her in the Senate, making decisions about climate change and energy policy and education? Yikes. Just yikes.
