Sarah Palin on Fruit Fly!!

yeah why don't we fund retardation so we know how in the fuck sarah thinks

Listen to me kids. If this retarded bitch can be a Governor, then so can you!

"A new study in fruit flies suggests that the life-extending properties of caloric restriction may be due not only to fewer calories in the diet, but also to just the right mix of protein building blocks, called amino acids. The study, published online December 2 in Nature, may help explain some of the health benefits of restricted-calorie diets."

I cannot believe leaders of her magnitude can be that STUPID!!!!

GOP should be renamed as JOKE!

Haha....what shameless twisting. A study involving fruit flies used in autism is not equivalent to studying something about fruit fly mating habits.

Maddow sucks.

regardless, fruit flies are ideal when it comes to studying genetics, which is important.

This video is deceiving because the earmarked monies Palin is responding to are not for biomedical fruit fly research using D. melanogaster, but are rather for olive fruit fly pest control to protect the olive and olive oil industry in California. So it is not clear that Palin does not know that Drosophila is used for genetic research. One could legitimately question the public value of pest control for an industry whose contribution to the overall US economy is most likely miniscule.

You are missing the point. She clearly did not understand the point of fruit fly research as a whole

Palin made me sick to my stomach, watching these videos still makes me uneasy thinking that at one time it was possible she could've been a heartbeat away from having her finger on the red button.

And if it shined, we'd be fucked.
