Arizona: Sylvia Allen

by David Safier
Following the Arizona Guardian's lead, I posted a clip of Sen. Sylvia Allen saying, not once but twice, that "This earth's been here 6,000 years." The clip has gone viral. Today it made it to Daily Kos. The text before the clip reads, "Holy cripes, Arizona State Sen. Sylvia Allen is a complete loon!"

But that's just the tip of the iceberg, according to the Guardian,

The Arizona Guardian video posted last week of Allen declaring the Earth 6,000 years old begat a YouTube video which begat a Discover Magazine blog which begat more than 1,400 Digg referrals. It also begat a Comedy Central posting titled "Did Adam and Eve care about the environment 6,000 years ago? I think not.

Rep. Steve Farley (D-Tucson) thinks that our Accidental Governor and the GOP insane clown possee leadership will sell out Arizonans and come to a compromise deal on the budget at the last minute, while entirely shutting out slightly less than half of all Arizonans who are represented by Democratic legislators in this state from the process.

Aren't these the same Republicans who are incessantly whining about bipartisanship in Congress? My, mistake. When Republicans say "bipartisanship" they actually mean "my way." When they have control, their totalitarian nature comes to full flower. This disaster is a GOP production -- they own it.
