Richard Dawkins, every thinking woman’s hunka hunka burnin’ love, weighed in on Rick Perry’s thoughts – and by thoughts I mean something not even distantly related to thinking – on evolution.

Texans would say that on evolution Rick Perry has his hind part before his front part and neither part is dressed properly.  Dawkins, who has been to Texas several times but hasn’t learned the language, says this instead —

There is nothing unusual about Governor Rick Perry. Uneducated fools can be found in every country and every period of history, and they are not unknown in high office. What is unusual about today’s Republican party (I disavow the ridiculous ‘GOP’ nickname, because the party of Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt has lately forfeited all claim to be considered ‘grand’) is this: In any other party and in any other country, an individual may occasionally rise to the top in spite of being an uneducated ignoramus. In today’s Republican Party ‘in spite of’ is not the phrase we need. Ignorance and lack of education are positive qualifications, bordering on obligatory. Intellect, knowledge and linguistic mastery are mistrusted by Republican voters, who, when choosing a president, would apparently prefer someone like themselves over someone actually qualified for the job.

Awwww … the language of Shakespeare.

In Texas we call that giving somebody a what for lesson.

If ya go read the whole thing, you’ll give it a standing ovation and grin the rest of the day.
