Well, Bill Maher has kept his promise to release a slow drip of embarrassing clips about Delaware Tea Party Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell until she comes on his show. This week's installment: O'Donnell thinks evolution is a 'myth'. Previously, New York Magazine had dug up a 1996 appearance by O’Donnell on CNN, during which the Delaware GOP Senate nominee insisted “hard evidence” proves evolution is “merely a theory” and God’s creation of the world occurred in “six 24-hour periods.” After airing tonight’s clip, Maher remarked with astonishment that this is “someone that could be in the Senate.” He added, “See this is the point I want to make — is the stuff from the witch from last week was silly. Who cares what she did in high school, if she dabbled in witchcraft. But this is someone who could be in the Senate, who thinks that mice have human brains and doesn’t understand ‘oh my God, that monkeys don’t evolve in the time that it would take to watch them.’” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KB0TLgcNesU&feature=player_embedded added by: pjacobs51
