Just when you thought the Right couldn't get any dumber ...

Man, there's a couple of ridiculous things bouncing 'round the Intertubes this morning.

First, last night, Drunky McStagger gave his customary remarks at the President's Dinner, a fundraiser that wasn't quite as successful as last year. He made a special acknowledgment of Sen. Mel Martinez (R-Fla.):

I appreciate the chairman of the Republican Party, the general chairman, Mel Martinez -- Senator Mel Martinez from the state of California, and his wife Kitty.

No, Drunky didn't correct himself. Truly, words escape me. (Thanks, Holden.)

Meanwhile, the Creation Museum, which featured a porn-star Adam not long ago, has a lovely planetarium exhibit where you can experience "a thrilling 22-minute ride billions of light-years away to the vast outer regions of our universe."

Okay, I'll ask the obvious question: how can stars be "billions of light-years away" in a universe that allegedly is 6,000 years old? (Thanks, Wes.)

The problem with creationism, like nearly all right-wing rhetoric, is that in order for any of it to make sense, you have to suspend your disbelief to an absurd point. The inconsistencies and hypocrisy boggle the mind.

But, they never let the facts get in the way of a good story, do they?
