Bill Nye called Akin a f**king idiot on live TV! (satire)

on edit...

Sorry guys, didn't realize it was satire at first.



Bill Nye called Akin a "f**king idiot" on live TV

Bill Nye made a quiet, unassuming lil appearance on the Smithsonian channel this morning to refute Todd Akin's "legitimate rape" science. Here's how it played out, on live TV:

Look, these people they're f**king retarded. Rape can't cause pregnancy? Breastmilk cures homosexuality? I caused a hurricane by challenging creationism? Who can possibly take these people seriously anymore?

It used to be these Republicans didn't believe in global warming or evolution. That was bad enough. Now they don't even believe in egg + sperm = baby. Where does Todd Akin think babies come from? Does he think there are separate storks for people who were raped and people who weren't? Hey look over there! It's the rape stork. It drops off all its babies directly at the orphanage.

He's a f**king idiot. Just a plain f**king idiot. I'm sorry -- I don't say that word very often -- but it happens to fit in this case. He's just a f**king idiot.

The news site is the "Daily Currant."

A currant is a kind of fruit.

The "Daily Current" would be a newspaper name.

The site is satire. DAMN GOOD satire, but satire. You know it's good when it rings true.

"It used to be these Republicans didn't believe in global warming or evolution. That was bad enough. Now they don't even believe in egg + sperm = baby."

This is the problem. The repugs have gone to the level of "fucking idiot". They babble away without a care for facts or science or even reality... Even worse, there are fuck-tons of people that eat it up.

My niece got me with the "breast milk cures homosexuality" article that was in dailycurrent. I was practically all the way through it before I realized it was a spoof, and I still wasn't positive until I saw the titles to the links at the bottom of the page.

Of course, the kicker here is I can honestly hear those RW crazies actually saying this kind of stuff. In fact, with their attitude towards actual facts, I wouldn't doubt for an instant that we WILL hear this stuff coming out of them, "The way I understand it, doctor's have shown...."
