Bill Nye to debate Marsha Blackburn

Now Bill Nye Is Going To Debate A Climate Change Denying Congresswoman

Bill Nye spent the 1990s providing science lessons to America's youth. Now he's pushing back against the country's know-nothing adults.

Nye will continue his crusade against misinformation this Sunday on "Meet the Press" with a debate against proud climate change denier Marsha Blackburn, the Republican congresswoman who serves as the vice chair of the House Energy & Commerce Committee.

The host of the once popular after-school staple "Bill Nye the Science Guy" took on committed creationist Ken Ham earlier this month in a debate over the origins of humanity.

Perhaps a Congresscritter with a wicked cool sense of humor can officially read it just for shits and giggles.

A debate is pretty much impossible by definition, she cannot do much beyond spout word salad talking points and silly snark.

who can argue with the following?: that Blackburn is nothing but an opportunistic anti-intelligence spreading nutball.

like the classical definition of what happens when you play chess with a pigeon - "it ambles around, knocks over the chess pieces, shits on the board and then struts off victorious."
