Sali strikes again

If the citizens of the State of Idaho are ignorant, narrow-minded, bigoted, racist, and religiously simple-minded, they should be very proud to have Bill Sali representing them. It seems that Mr. Sali is very upset because a Hindu was allowed to give a prayer in the Senate and, horror of horrors, there is a Muslim member of the House of Representatives. Sali believes this is not what the founding fathers envisioned (freedom of religion?) and it will lead to the destruction of our nation (through prayer?). He goes on to say that the only reason we survive is because our Christian God protects us (from Hindus and Muslims?). Remember, this is the same Bill Sali who believes abortions cause breast cancer (in spite of all evidence to the contrary). He's an Idaho Republican so what else would you expect?

If Sali's appaling ignorance and bigotry came spilling out, he was joined by Bill Richardson, candidate for President of the United States. At a discussion of gay rights, Richardson was asked if he thought homosexuality was a choice - and he answered yes! Happily no one fainted or died or a heart attack from an answer so unexpected and revealing. Richardson simply doesn't know anything about the issue of homosexuality - zilch, nada, zero. If he did he would obviously have kept this opinion to himself rather than blurting it out at a conference with homosexuals. He went on to mumble something about not being a scientist (I guess he thinks scientists know the answer but won't tell anyone). Anyway, it was a most pathetic performance by someone who wants to be President and it certainly is not going to help him with the gay vote.

A comment on last night's blog from anonymous said Morialekafa was stupid. He or she didn't offer any particulars as to why. I don't know if he was angry because I suggested Romney was stupid or whether he just has a thing about Professors, or if it is just me in particular. He clearly thinks the name Ekafa is stupid (me too). I may be stupid, but I'm not anonymously stupid.

I guess Dick the Slimy thinks he can be personally responsible for bringing on the Rapture. Why else would he be urging Bush to attack Iran? Where are the men in the white coats when we need them?
