When did the Republican party become the party of anti-intellectual stupid assholes? My whole family used to be republicans... Now we can't stand em. Or any of the other parties...

[carlgt1]

is this the dumbest Indian on the planet? out of all the brilliant scientists, doctors, etc of Indian descent, the Repuke party picks this dimwit! Then again they think Sarah Palin is a genius...

[Jacob Pernula]

Go to /watch?v=UYhfR8AdEwo -He call's the GOP the "stupid party."

[John Burt]

I recommend the Working Families party. I am figuring to jump to them once the Repubs have finished their collapse.

He might not mind. It would not take much prodding for someone to use the oft repeated remark that, "since science cannot predict the weather a week from now, it must all be a hoax." Frame it as a 'hidden tax' argument, and you could probably find people call for the elimination of hurricane monitoring.

[Jose S. Hernandez jr]

What a moron!!!!!!!!

[Colt Jennings]

you are not going to believe this, but i totally do not remember making this comment. either i forgot, or one of my siblings did this, im not sure. whatever the reason, i apologize.

Budget: $1 Trillion

Volcano monitoring: $140 million

$140 million/$1 trillion = 0.014%

What a savings! The budget will be back in black in no time!

[Thezuule1]

The man from Louisiana doesn't think that Volcanoes are a big deal... Maybe we should cut his hurricane monitoring and see how he likes that.

[DaydreamingCrow]

Holy shit are you serious! That this man even knows how to breath must be a complete accident.

[WildwoodClaire1]

Chiefly the states of Washington, Oregon, and California, but also all of southern Alaska and the American Aleutians, Idaho, Nevada, and Hawaii. For the reasons why monitoring is important I suggest you visit the USGS website.

As much as we have enjoyed laughing at the irretrievable stupidity of wingnut stars like Rick Perry, and the astonishing insanity of clueless Christie ass-munchers like Michelle Bachman, Bobby Jindal's volcano remark remains THE most grotesquely clueless remark uttered by an authoritarian rightist over the past five years.
