The American right is the comedy gift that never stops giving. Here is an edited version of a couple of interviews with its latest comet, the Tea Party’s Christine O’Donnell.
O’REILLY: Everybody knows that scientists have enough knowledge to clone a human being if they wanted to.
O’DONNELL: Right.
O’REILLY: But they’re not, at least not that we know of. And now they’re in the monkey realm. And I don’t understand, if that’s the possibility that people might be cured, why the objection. Because I never buy the slippery slope….
O’DONNELL: By their own admission these groups admitted that the report that said, "Hey, yay, we cloned a monkey. Now we’re using this to start cloning humans." We have to…
O’REILLY: Let them admit anything they want. But they won’t do that here in the United States unless all craziness is going on.
O’DONNELL: They are — they are doing that here in the United States. American scientific companies are cross-breeding humans and animals and coming up with mice with fully functioning human brains. So they’re already into this experiment.
And again. This time on why it’s wrong to lie to Nazis:
O’DONNELL: A lie, whether it be a lie or an exaggeration, is disrespect to whoever you’re exaggerating or lying to, because it’s not respecting reality.
MAHER: Quite the opposite, it can be respect.
EDDIE IZZARD: What if someone comes to you in the middle of the Second World War and says, ‘do you have any Jewish people in your house?’ and you do have them. That would be a lie. That would be disrespectful to Hitler….
O’DONNELL: I believe if I were in that situation, God would provide a way to do the right thing righteously. I believe that!
MAHER: God is not there. Hitler’s there and you’re there.
O’DONNELL: You never have to practice deception. God always provides a way out.
Conclusive proof that scientists have already developed humans with fully functioning mouse brains.
She also has strong views on the solitary vice.
