Former George W. Bush Press Secretary and current co-host of the Fox News show, The Five, Dana Perino, joined fellow guests Lewis Black and Brad Garrett on The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore this past Thursday, where she uttered something I'm still scratching my head about three days later.
When the three guests were discussing the Supreme Court's pending gay marriage decision and conservatives' comments to it, Wilmore noted that some conservatives blamed gay marriage for Hurricane Sandy, the mass killing of animals, 9/11, Sodom and Gomorrah, and 900,000 abortions over the next 30 years. He, Lewis Black, and Brad Garrett all laughed at the notion and poked fun of it along the way. Dana Perino then said, "Some people have blamed climate change for the same kinds of stuff." Hmm... Let's look at that comment a bit more closely.
When's the last time someone blamed climate change for Sodom and Gomorrah? Never.
When's the last time someone blamed climate change for the mass killing of animals? No, I haven't heard this one either.
When's the last time someone blamed climate change for 9/11? Never, not even via Al Gore.
When's the last time someone blamed climate change for 900,000 abortions? Never. Yes, I'm noticing a trend here as well.
Sure, some may have blamed climate change for Hurricane Sandy, but there's actually a common link between the two - that being they're both weather-related, something that can't be said with regard to the imaginary gay marriage links. So, nice try, Ms. Perino, but you're so far off-base with this comparison, even the blind are looking at you and asking, "Where the hell is she going?"
In the future, expect the former Press Secretary to engage in the following back-and-forth:
Late-night talk show host: "What is it with these conservatives making crazy gay marriage links? Hurricane Sandy? Animal killings? Terrorist attacks? Abortions? When will it end?"
Perino: "Well, you know, that kind of thing goes both ways. What is it with liberals trying to link climate change to things like warming temperatures, epic storms, droughts, earthquakes, and changing climates? I mean, if you want to talk crazy, now that's crazy!"
Indeed...
