QOTD: GOP thinks Greenland was actually green.
"We are cooling. We are not warming. The warming you see out there, the supposed warming, and I am using my finger quotation marks here, is part of the cooling process. Greenland, which is now covered in ice, it was once called Greenland for a reason, right? Iceland, which is now green.I bet he watched FDR's fireside chats on television.
-- GOP Chairman, Michael Steele, guest hosting Bill Bennett's syndicated radio show Morning In America
There really is a difference between the flubs that happen when everything you say is recorded and dissected (think of what you've said today) and completely made-up "facts" that you use to counter science.
I want to like Steele, I really do. Something gives me the impression he's playing the extremist but is a bit more moderate, and I want to encourage that. But... then he gives a rimjob to Rush and says "I'm pro-choice except when it involves choice" and counters scientific arguments with complete and utter bullshit. I can forgive political maneuverings or some "Where am I?" road fatigue. I can't forgive "Hey, I'm going to completely talk out of my ass about something that's completely false so I can score a political point against scientific fact."
Yeah. Fuck Michael Steele and the nutjob horse he rode in on.
