So, you think this is bad?
GQ: How old do you think the Earth is?
Marco Rubio: I'm not a scientist, man.... Whether the Earth was created in 7 days, or 7 actual eras, I'm not sure we'll ever be able to answer that. It's one of the great mysteries.
Yes, Earth's age (4.5 billion years) is just as imponderable as that china teapot possibly in orbit 'round the sun. Damn these infernal mysteries. If only there were a way to solve the wretched things. You know, other than, uh, science?
But, as I was asking, You think that's bad? Well what about this?
GQ: Who's your best friend?
Marco Rubio: My wife. We talk every day.
GQ: Besides your wife.
Marco Rubio: Jim DeMint.
Looks as though Marco does believe in political science--but only the right-wing version, naturally.
And so his descent into madness, i.e. the 2016 GOP Presidential nomination, begins. More to come.

I say we have some fun with these guys and tell them that there will be even more angry white men and more christian fundamentalists in 2016 than there are now so they should have no problem winning next time. If they believe the earth is only a few thousand years old and that 2+2=12, they'll believe anything. Is it wrong for me to want to mess with their ignorant little heads?

Could have been worse for Rubio. They could have asked him about proper vagina management.

Trust your instincts, PeterG. They will. They will.
