IS THE GOP ANTI-SCIENCE? OR JUST ANTI-RATIONALIST?
Right Wing Nut House —
... from lefties who appear to get all their information about conservatives from Democratic party talking points or sites like Think Progress and Raw Story. I don’t know what’s more pathetic; Liberals asking questions that prove how clueless they are about the world around them or Walken feeling he has to answer their idiocies seriously. Either way, the unintentional comedic result goes so far over the head of Salon’s daily readers that it doesn’t even muss their hair on the way by. Here’s a question from an earnest fellow who wants to know if conservatives have become a bunch of ...

The fine folks at Salon have a fun new feature called "Ask a Wingnut," in which reasonable people, curious what a real-live conservative thinks about a given issue, get to pose a substantive question to a former Bush administration official.

Salon has a great new feature:
“Ask a Wingnut” is written by a real live conservative and former Bush official who chooses to remain anonymous. Each week “Glenallen Walken” will bridge the cultural divide and answer questions from liberals about why conservatives think and do what they think and do. If you would like to submit a question to “Ask a Wingnut,” send it to mschone (at) salon (dot) com.
Steve Benen has a good dissection of this week’s wingnut Q&A.
