Dinosaur farts???
I kid you not (I watched it live on TV), Republican Rep. Dana Rohrbacher actually asserted that global warming might have been caused by "dinosaur flatulence":

Watching him gesticulate while yammering is kind of like watching Rush Limbaugh's imitation of Michael J. Fox off his meds. Total Looney Tunes.

29. Well, he certainly does. I'd love to see his job on the endangered species
list. There's somebody who would be most excellent to send home, and straight to the unemployment line. A bigger knuckle-dragger there never was. And still has his presidential kneepads firmly strapped in place.

See, he smells shit around him all the time and asks "what's that smell?". His staffers, too embarrassed to tell him the truth, claim "Oh, don't mind that, it's just dinosaur farts". Someday, one of his staffers is gonna have the balls enough to just come right out and tell him "Sir, that's the smell of your own bullshit as it leaves your mouth".

13. Um, hello Mr. Rohrbacher
Dinosaurs died out millions of years ago. If their paleo-gas did cause global warming, the effect would have been gone many millions of years ago.

19. He probably thinks dinosaurs all looked like Barney and were man's best friends
about 5,000 years ago.

17. Wow those farts must have some staying power
maybe someone should suggest that he and like "minded" people should look into how to harness those lingering farts for alternative energy, could give them something relatively harmless to do.

18. I watched him on CSPAN the other day
What a jagoff! He was attempting to browbeat scientists testifying about global warming before Congress. He kept yelling at this one researcher because she couldn't tell him exactly what percentage of it was caused by human actions. She, of course, was trying to give credible and nuanced answers as a good scientist. He would have none of it and got increasingly adamant. It was so obviously done for show; to continue to propagate the fiction that there is a "debate" over the cause of global warming.

Asswipe :grr:

22. Photo of Rohrabacher with the Afghan Mujahedeen
This insane gnome-looking man was Ronald Reagan's special enjoy to the mujahedeen when they were fighting the Soviets. He even claims to have once met a young Osama Bin Laden, while he was arranging for shipments of CIA arms and cash to the Jihadist "freedom fighters" that Ronnie helped to create.

28. Man, the evening crowd just let this thread sink like a lead baloon.
Maybe they all saw it on C-SPAN already; maybe they just don't give a dinosaur's fart about it all.
