Quote o'the day

“If someone believes that the earth is 6,000 years old and every scientist in the world is saying that it is billions of years old, why shouldn’t I take that into account when I am assessing the rationality of someone I am going to put into the highest office in the land?”

– Bill Maher, upon Huckabee’s dodging the evolution question by saying “Why should it matter? It’s not a question appropriate to a presidential debate.”

    1. Because it’s Bill Maher, for heaven’s sake!
    2. Because he didn’t want to get into a religious debate on a political platform — separation of church and state.
