George W. Bush is a bit of a tool. We all know that, supports and detractors alike. But he is President and, apparently that is in the job description.
Lately he has been saying more than his share of stupid things that he can't support with any evidence. Like this:
It will be interesting to see how the fans react to these allegations. Many have already voiced their disappointment, but Mr. Palmeiro's denial of wrongdoing was promptly accepted by others, among them President Bush. "Rafael Palmeiro is a friend," Mr. Bush said in an interview with the Knight Ridder news service. "He's the kind of person that's going to stand up in front of the klieg lights and say he didn't use steroids, and I believe him. Still do."
And this:
During a round-table interview with reporters from five Texas newspapers, Bush declined to go into detail on his personal views of the origin of life. But he said students should learn about both theories, Knight Ridder Newspapers reported.I know he is playing to the stupid fundies in the second quote, but I am not sure whose voites he is trying to garner by supporting that drug using guy in the first quote. But it all goes to show you that moronicness knows no class or political distinction. If the guvmint wants to spend some of my tax dollars pushing back the edges of science, they ought to do a study on ways to reduce stupidity.
"I think that part of education is to expose people to different schools of thought," Bush said. "You're asking me whether or not people ought to be exposed to different ideas, the answer is yes."
UPDATE: Dang, Meyer read my mind!
