Newsmax, WND, American Stinker maybe. But this? Really?

I bet Alan Alda is trying to off himself as I type overthruster style.

I didn't bother to read the article but he does have a science and tech streak to him including being a lover of technology and a supporter of zoos. That doesn't mean he understands the science and he frequently misinterprets it but compared to the other candidates on the GOP side - he is a fark'n genius in this regard.

Considering that most of them are global warming deniers, or have become deniers after flip flopping, I am surprised. I thought Gingrich was walking back his old statements on the subject? Too lazy to look it up.

If Gingrich really is the most knowledgeable about science/technology, I am going to throw up a little.

This. Did they name this anti science jerk the most intellectual of all candidates too?

America is stupid. this immoral jackass has managed.to get respect back... Jfc.

This is obviously just a liberal conspiracy to smear Newt by insinuating that he's one of them egg-headed, elitist scientists getting fat off of grant money.

"He's not a nerd! He's a chubby boy!"

Come on guys, his name is Newton Leroy.
What hardships do you think this poor man had to endure with a moniker like that.

A PERSON IS A SMALL PRICE TO PAY
WHEN YOU FIGHT WITH A CANCER!
YOU HAVE TO THINK LIKE A STAR!!

Stop perpetuating the lie that this angry, doughy troll is intelligent.

I guess that I'm a bit confused about the definition of geek. Little did I know that it meant a lying, adulterous, morbidly obese, criminal. From now on, I'm really going to be insulted when people call me a geek.

^ This. The guy looks like mashed potatoes in a suit, and intellect matches.

Doesn't most of their money come from mining heavy (cancer-causing) metals like lead?

I'm a geek as in Techie Nerd.
Newt is a geek as in bites heads off chickens.

I believe the Office of Technology Assessment would like to have a word with you, SA.

ps69: Stop perpetuating the lie that this angry, doughy troll is intelligent.


I don't think he's really that angry a person. He is, however, an arrogant, unethical, manipulative, selfish asshole. There's a difference.

It's actually true that he is more intelligent than most of this year's crop of Republican candidates (granted, that's not an incredible achievement), and in years when he wasn't busy pandering to the Republican base, he showed interest in a surprising variety of scientific issues. However, he's willing to disavow/renounce belief in any particular solid piece of science, if he thinks there's political advantage in doing so.

Also, while he's smarter than a number of his colleagues, he doesn't have anywhere near as great an intellect as he fancies himself having -- a character flaw that supplies him with undue confidence in the soundness of his reckless ideas and schemes
.
I'd say the song most appropriate to him isn't "If I Only Had a Brain"; it's "If I Only Had a Heart".

/And of course, he could do with a good deal less confidence

johnnieconnie: If Gingrich really is the most knowledgeable about science/technology, I am going to throw up a little.

In the land of the blind...

I think you drastically overestimate how much any politician knows about anything but the politics of getting himself elected.
Most of this debacle boils down to one politician disagreeing with another politician on a topic that neither understands.
So that means one must be Anti-Science?

/I think we're being trolled on a national scale.
/and it ain't by Scientific American.

"[Gingrich] would probably be the most knowledgeable president on technology issues ever elected." - Gingrich booster.

Thus clearing the lowest bar since Obama became the tannest president ever elected.

Glad I didn't renew my subscription all those years ago. I saw the magazine declining early in the last decade and it looks like they're still stuck in mediocre.

He's anti science, but pro military spending, stop confusing the two.
