Phil Gingrey, a doctor (or does he count as like a "self loathing doctor" or something? You know, like the black Republicans/Tea Partiers?), should not be allowed to speak on this.
And Todd Akin was a member of the Science & Technology committee.
Ah, ok. I guess the way Gingrey became a doctor is very similar to how Akin got selected for that committee.
Thanks for continuing your streak of half-assed talking point responses. Can always count on you for consistency, at least.
Ted Stevens was also the chairman of the Senate committee on Science.
That gives us two possibilities.
1)His opinion about the internet being a series of tubes was a legitimate one, worth taking under consideration. He was the chairman of the Science committee after all, for God's sake. He must have had some expertise on these matters.
2)He was a moron who didn't know what the heck he was talking about (and that the Republican leadership were a bunch of morons for letting this man anywhere near that gavel).
Your choice.
