"Nye is about as much a scientist as I am", says Sarah Palin

[Calfredd]

I know she didn't. It was stated to emphasize I don't care what Palin says.

Really hard to tell sometimes.

[BuckSparkles]

To be fair, Bill Nye is a huge asshole off screen from what I hear. Very arrogant and condescending.

[Asotcha]

I'm just gonna....keep on browsing. I don't have the fortitude for this right now.

You and me both, brother. Screw aaaaaaaaaaaall of that.

As an aside, I havn't heard anyone mention Nye lately. For a while he seemed to be everywhere.

[RickJamesLich]

If you teach children to not listen to Bill, what's the point in them asking him questions?

Not defending Palin's views here but I think she is implying "Question Bill Nye first before you believe his assertions". Of course you can argue that she probably won't take anything he says seriously, that being said, I don't think she was trying to say "do not listen to Bill Nye".

[Jotaux]

Well I'm no scientist but I'm pretty sure I'm more of a scientist than Sarah Palin.

[Garnier Fructis]

Mechanical Engineering is much closer to science than communications and journalism. Just saying.

I would be too if I had to explain the same thing to people for over 20 years and they still wont accept reality.

I think that's what most people say about famous people. I've been told Oprah is a nightmare to deal with off camera.

Classic Palin, what a loon

She is consistent though:

"With an emphasis on ethics and openness in government, Palin's administration focused on education, public safety and transportation. As a conservative Protestant, she also served as an advocate for pro-life policies; expressed her disapproval of embryonic stem cell research; pushed the belief that creationism, the idea that life was created by a deity, should be taught in public schools alongside the evolution curriculum; and supported Alaska's decision to amend its constitution to ban same-sex marriage.

On the energy front, Palin questioned the validity behind the idea that global warming is man-made. She intensely pursued a pipeline to deliver natural gas from the North Slope of Alaska to market. In the summer of 2008, the state legislature approved her plan to give a $500 million subsidy to TransCanada, a Canadian company, to help build the project. She also passed a major tax increase on state oil production, promising to give some of that money back to Alaskans in the form of a $1,200 check."

Depends on the famous people. Some are horrible, some are nice.

My older brother at a private military screening of the movie Fury, who had Brad Pitt visit the base, said Pitt was a very down to earth and chill guy for example.

All depends on the celebrity. Not all are schmucks.

Watch the at, around 3:00 minute mark. Yes, they always bringing in Bill Nye. We should give the other 97% of scientist their crack.

While it is humorous, and well meant, I don't think representing "consensus" in the form of a bunch of people making noise is productive.
Then again, the "debate" is not worth anyone's time. We have the data, we have the proposals, and we're slowly working on it; the rest is just noise.

[Manabomb]

EHL OH FUCKING EHL.

This. This is an entirely new low for politicians. I mean I get it, it's Sarah Palin, but even she can't be this stupid. Right?... Right?!

She's not, except in the mind of liberals. Most everyone else has written her off already.

I sincerely doubt pretty much every one of your claims.

And then there's Prince, who if he walks by behind stage, as a stagehand you are to turn around so your back is facing him.

[Niteowl]

But she can see Russia from her house

You should trust the answers found in your science textbooks from Bob Jones University Press. Duh.

Good thing being an arrogant condescending asshole has no bearing on whether the facts you present are true or not.

Doesn't exactly make me care about somebody though.

Lol what the fuck? What's he going to do if you don't? Work himself up into a sweat?

[derpkitteh]

Why is Palin still relevant? Everytime she opens her mouth everyone around her drops a few IQ levels

she's stupid and a milf. that's good for tv ratings, i think.

it doesn't even do any good to refute what she says. she's denying facts, so she'll always be the one in the wrong.

[The Casualty]

Do they have science over there that she can see?
