Is anybody paying attention?

Republicans are spouting things that should be making people's heads explode. The New York Times via Brendan Nyhan:

"Another Georgia Republican, Representative Phil Gingrey, said support for traditional marriage "is perhaps the best message we can give to the Middle East and all the trouble they'’re having over there right now."”
Excuse me while I clean up the brain matter splattered all over the office.

Just too Good to Pass Up

From Think Progress:

2000 lbs: Weight 76-year-old Pat Robertson claims he can leg press thanks to his “age defying protein shake."

Clay Travis at CBS Sportsline notes "That would mean a 76-year-old man broke the all-time Florida State University leg press record by 665 pounds over Dan Kendra. 665 pounds. Further, when he set the record, they had to modify the leg press machine to fit 1,335 pounds of weight. Plus, Kendra’s capillaries in his eyes burst. Burst."
Oh, Pat. Didn't you hear? "Thou salt not bear false witness." Exodus 20:16.

Pat Robertson, revealed as the snake oil salesman he really is.
