Stupid Republican idea of the day

(tapping my nose)

Capek nailed it.

Wife got The Gardener’s Year for Christmas. I said, “Hey, that’s the robot guy!”

Well, there is a tide in the affairs of men…

Believe it or not, I have a life and cannot riff in that. :smiley:

Got another one fer y’all:

At risk of a complete hijack, one wonders whether Senator Campbell believes the monkey in question was male or female.

Lest anyone think stupidity of this sort is out of character, Sen. Campbell is the author of the “Don’t Say Gay” bill we discussed a few months ago.

Has anyone mentioned Santorum’s belief that Obama wants every American to go to college so that they can be liberally brainwashed?

And, as this article shows, the less educated are eating it up.

If he RECALLS? He was there? Was he the airline pilot’s partner?

Maybe he was the monkey.

I check this thread every now and then, but continue to be amazed. It’s as though the Republicans are in a race to see who can be stupidest. Any of the latest gibberish from Santorum, the Newt, and Stacey Campfield would have been unthinkably stupid for a major politician to say in the not-so-distant past.

One minor point about Campfield’s “My understanding is that it is virtually — not completely, but virtually — impossible to contract AIDS through heterosexual sex.” This statement is more male-chauvinist than stupid. AIDS transmission from male to female is rather easy; it’s the converse that’s uncommon.

Heh.

Problem is (unless I’m misremembering what I read), the initial transmission was more likely to have come about from the practice of EATING monkeys, not fucking them.

I also read that Patient Zero was a flight attendant, not a pilot.

And that while Female-to-Male transmission is uncommon (not unheard-of, though see: Johnson, Magic), Male-to-Female transmission is quite readily achieved.

Now I have this mental image of Walter Cronkine giving a brief description of why some guy screwing a monkey is a momentous historical event… and You Are There…"

You are an old fart, Steve. :wink:

Had a discussion with someone on YouTube whether it was Christopher Walken in a particular You Are There. As the actor was an adult and Walken, at the time, was verifiably twelve, I thought not.

It’s a fucking miracle!

Considering Santorum’s got a B.A., M.B.A., and a J.D. (with honours), he must be pretty goddamn liberal by now.

They did, but it turns out they’re ear wax flavored, not nacho cheese.

Perhaps it was his experiences at Penn State that left him with such a poor opinion of higher education. Buttsecks all over the place, judging from the news.

We could send them nacho cheese Doritos for about eleven million dollars each. Each Dorito, that is.
