Maureen Dowd: Slouching Toward Washington (Wherein she attacks O'Donnell, Palin, Tea Party)
The New York Times ^ | September 25, 2010 | Maureen Dowd

Posted on 09/25/2010 3:01:58 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Holy Roddy McDowall.

Christine O’Donnell doesn’t understand why monkeys can’t turn into people right before her eyes.

Bill Maher continued his video torment of O’Donnell by releasing another old clip of her on his HBO show on Friday night, this time showing one in which she argued that “Evolution is a myth.”

Maher shot back, “Have you ever looked at a monkey?” To which O’Donnell rebutted, “Why aren’t monkeys still evolving into humans?”

The comedian has a soft spot for the sweet-faced Republican Senate candidate from Delaware, but as he told me on Friday, it’s “powerful stupid to think primate evolution could happen fast enough to observe it. That’s bacteria.

“I find it so much more damaging than the witch stuff because she could be in a position to make decisions about scientific issues, like global warming and stem cells, and she thinks primate evolution can happen in a week and mice have human brains.”

In the Republican primary, O’Donnell beat Congressman Mike Castle, who had the temerity to support stem-cell research and acknowledge global warming. O’Donnell’s numbers are dropping, while Castle is still beating the Democratic candidate, Chris Coons, by almost 20 points in a theoretical matchup.

In 2007, O’Donnell frantically warned Bill O’Reilly, “American scientific companies are crossbreeding humans and animals and coming up with mice with fully functioning human brains.”

The field of human-animal experiments is dubbed “chimera” research, named for the she-monster in Greek mythology that has a lion’s head, a goat’s body and a serpent’s tail.

Dr. Irving Weissman, director of Stanford’s Institute of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, did the first experiments injecting human brain-forming stem cells into the brains of immune-deficient mice 10 years ago...

Did she go to the premier of “Wall St 2, Money Never Sleeps”?

And another day goes by where the left does not try to sell its agenda.

Waste those days, Democrats!

“To which O’Donnell rebutted, “Why aren’t monkeys still evolving into humans?”

From a scientific perspective, it's a legitimate question. If selective pressure favors the development of a specific evolutionary lineage, why do the ‘less fit’ members of this lineage persist? There are answers to that question, but her question was not a ‘stupid’ one.

Maher and Dowd. Now there’s a pair for you. Talk about a couple of slouches.

It’s not smart for the left to cover this election like they are. If Castle had won the primary, he would have won the general election. A Republican would be in there anyway. They are elevating another Palin or Bachman. Why aren’t they more worried about the Reid/Angle race? It’s ridiculous how much information is coming out about her versus Obama. As far as Bill Maher, he lied for years that he was a libertarian/independent. He also claimed that Brazil was off oil, when they’re not.

You're going way above her head with that answer! She's still looking in the mirror wondering why she can't be sweet-faced, too.

Let’s be honest. Bill Maher and Mo Dowd trying to discuss science like they know what they’re talking about are evidence that Christine O’Donnell might have a point.

Yeah, just how does the theory of evolution explain Bill Maher?

This posting buries the lead. In the piece, Dodd writes, “President Obama was supposed to be a giant leap forward in modernity, the brainy, rational first black president leading us out of the scientific darkness of the W. years. But by letting nutters get a foothold, he may usher us into the past.”

Dodd and other NAZIonale Socialists are saying that the big
Lib should disallow “nutters” like O’Donnell from getting a
foothold. This would be by means of... suspending free elections? Being even more leftist to be even more popular?

Mind boggling that Dodd thinks that 0bama even has some say
about who “gets a foothold,” and boggling that Dodd’s still so elitist that she thinks once a “nutter” gets a foothold, the stupid masses will just follow along.
