Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich, speaking at a town hall event in Iowa on December 31:
“I, also, am an amateur paleontologist, so I’ve spent a lot of time looking at the earth’s temperature over a long time, and I’m a lot harder to convince than just looking at a computer model.”
Newt Gingrich saying he’s an amateur paleontologist reminds me a lot of something…
An amateur paleontologist and a professional bullshitter. Quite a combination.
At points like that, a reporter needs to ask “What sort of evidence would you accept?”
