Payless Palin

A low-rent version of the soon to be ex-governor captures every dumb denialist argument in one five minute video. I was going to say she epitomizes "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing," but when I heard her assert that because carbon "dee-oxide" is invisible it is therefore harmless, I figured she didn't even deserve that.

The smugness of ignorance displayed by her and her audience is nothing short of despair-inducing, although if you're in the proper cynical mood, it may strike you as hilarious.

It's a great video. John Boehner also made the cowfart/CO2 mistake, but far too soon after emphasizing that we all exhale CO2.

That's halitosis I do not want to experience.
