"All that's left, is our friendship."

Take a look around key committees of the House and you'll find a governing body stocked with crackpots whose views on major issues are as removed from reality as Missour's Representative Todd Akin's take on the sperm-killing powers of a woman who's been raped.
On matters of basic science and peer-reviewed knowledge, from evolution to climate change to elementary fiscal math, many Republicans in power cling to a level of ignorance that would get their ears boxed even in a medieval classroom. Congress incubates and insulates these knuckle-draggers.
Let's take a quick tour of the crazies in the House. Their war on critical thinking explains a lot about why the United States is laughed at on the global stage, and why no real solutions to our problems emerge from that broken legislative body.
We're currently experiencing the worst drought in 60 years, a siege of wildfires, and the hottest temperatures since records were kept. But to Republicans in Congress, it's all a big hoax....
Jack Kingston of Georgia, a 20-year veteran of the House, is an evolution denier, apparently because he can't see the indent where his ancestors' monkey tail used to be....
A handful of Republicans have tried to fight the know-nothings. "I believe in evolution and trust scientists on global warming," said Jon Huntsman, the former Utah governor, during his ill-fated run for his party's presidential nomination. "Call me crazy."
And in an on-air plea for sanity, Joe Scarborough, the former G.O.P. congressman and MSNBC host, said, "I'm just tired of the Republican Party being the stupid party." I feel for him. But don't expect the reality chorus to grow. For if intelligence were contagious, his party would be giving out vaccines for it.

Priceless!
Suppose you think Dem. Hank Johnson has super intelligence since he asked military leader if more troops on Guam would cause that island to tip over into the ocean? Of course, we can’t forget the tax cheat Charlie Rangel. You libs should look around your party before casting stones elsewhere!
You do it for the drugs, from the bottom of a bottle, right?
Indeed. This one is a classic. These Viking Kitties have more talent than all the demwits combined.
Your boy is gonna be zotted November 6 by a landslide, commie!
I have no idea where trolls go when they die but it must be a rather ignominious place for those whose stoopitity can’t be heard above the din of the idiot class of intellectual hacks....
