Nancy Morgan takes on the idiots.
AND THE WINNER IS:
The United Nations has won the RightBias Top Idiot Of The Week Award. The UN issued a report demanding the repeal. Why? In order to promote "gender equality." These idiots believe it's important to recognize the role of "transgender and intersex individuals as stakeholders" in counterterrorism policy.
Translation: Its just plain mean to make fun of all those terrorists who dress in female clothing in order to kill Americans. Hey, they've got feelings too.
SECOND PLACE:
Obama's regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein, once again wins a spot among Top Idiots. Sunstein, in a 2008 book, advocates abolishing marriage. "Under our proposal, the word marriage would no longer appear in any laws, and marriage licenses would no longer be offered or recognized by any level of government." I'm not making this stuff up.
HONORABLE MENTION:
Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan said the H1N1 flu vaccine was developed to kill people. "The Earth can't take 6.5 billion people. We just can't feed that many. So what are you going to do? Kill as many as you can." Let's toss in the millions of useful idiots who actually believe this yo-yo.
ECO-IDIOTS:
Where to start? Let's flip a coin and place Andrew Revkin, who reports on environmental issues for the New York Times, at the top of this week's Eco-Idiots. He suggested last week that carbon credits be given (for free!) to couples that limit themselves to having one child. In order to save the world from global warming.
Memo to Andy: How about you consider a vasectomy? That way you can save the earth from melting and cut down on the population of stupid babies at the same time. Talk about a win-win twofer . . ..
Cabinet ministers in the Maldives held an underwater meeting last Saturday to draw attention to the threat global warming poses to the lowest-lying nation on earth. Words fail.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has called on his countrymen to stop singing in the shower to help save water and electricity – they should attempt to wash in less than three minutes and breaking into song distracts them. Which begs the question: How many citizens ruled by this murderous thug have the urge to break into song?
Fido Beware!
New Zealand's Victoria University has issued a new study suggesting that dogs and cats, like people, are a plague upon the earth. They say people should have edible pets. All you pet owners out there better start chowing down or you'll lose your membership in the growing ranks of Mother Earth worshipers. Bow-wow.
MOST IDIOTIC STATEMENTS:
Left-wing author and conspiracy theorist Gore Vidal shared his thoughts about President Barack Obama. He believes that Obama is overqualified to be President. "He's too intelligent for the job," Vidal stated. With a straight face.
Chris Matthews: "The group in this country that most resembles the Taliban is the religious right." Inquiring minds want to know: Does Matthews have any pets?
In another example of liberals, oops, progressives inventing their own reality, MSNBC's Keith Olbermann claims MSNBC is the "undisputed leader in Cable TV News." I believe the only one who believes him is George Orwell, and possibly the White House. Sigh.
NEWS FLASH:
This just in: On the Jay Leno, Michelle Obama assured the nation that her husband, the President of the United States, if given a choice, would prefer 'world peace' over the Chicago White Sox winning the World Series. Whew.
Due to space limitations, RightBias will have to forgo our weekly awards for Criminal Idiots and our Just Plain Stupid awards. So many idiots, so little space. We'll get to them next week. Till then, keep smiling.
Actually, in a rare, probably singular point of agreement with Cass Sustein, I don’t think the government should be in the business of licensing marriage either. Marriage is a private, personal, religious institution. The only entity that should license it is the religious organization under which and for which it is undertaken. From a government/legal context, “marriage” is nothing more or less than a for-fee contract that serves to provide local governments with a steady stream of revenue. I do think it’s hilariously ironic, however, that a guy who thinks the government should be in charge of harvesting organs from terminally ill patients without consent and that the constitution guarantees the right to a government-funded abortion suddenly finds the state so objectionable.

Re: “I don’t think the government should be in the business of licensing marriage either.”
We’re 180-out on this one. I recently wrote my bishop urging the Catholic Church to renounce the authority to perform legal marriages and to limit them to sacramental marriages. Couples could also avail themselves of a legal ceremony if they wished.
I agree, gentlemen. Marriage is a religious institution. Get the government out of it completely, and let the Church decide whom will be married.
In fact, if the Church had any cajones, it would give up its tax-exempt status. It needs to stop serving two masters and get back to the spread of the Gospel.
