Snowed In

Now, I still keep saying that the Dems are going to lose seats in 2010, but then again, it's not like the Republicans are smart enough to take full advantage, either.  Like Newt, f'r instance.

If ol' Newt is the intellectual Republican powerhouse, the GOP has cause for concern.

Newt Gingrich became the latest to play the ridiculous "it's snowing so global warming must be a hoax" card. Gingrich took to Twitter -- where he's been schooled before -- on Saturday morning to share a few thoughts about the storm:

newtgingrich As callista and i watched what dc weather says will be 12 to 22 inches of snow i wondered if God was sending a message about copenhagen

Got that? A snowstorm along the East coast in December was, according to the former Speaker, a divine signal about international efforts to combat climate change. Seriously.

Other far-right voices, meanwhile, were convinced that the storm was evidence of divine opposition to health care reform.

Yeah.  Snow in December means global warming is a hoax.  I'm worried about these idiots?  I don't think so.  And you gotta love the whole "Hey God, please give kill Robert Byrd in his sleep this week so health care reform never passes.  Thanks."

That's great of them, asking God to screw up health care for millions.  God really does have a sense of humor.
