Groups beg the Senate to remove money earmarked to support Creationism in Louisiana.

More than 30 organizations have joined forces to urge the U.S. Senate to remove a provision from an appropriations bill that directs tax money to a Louisiana group that promotes creationism.

U.S. Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) inserted the earmark into the Appropriations Committee’s report on a bill allocating money for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services and Education. Vitter wants to designate $100,000 to the Louisiana Family Forum (LFF) “to develop a plan to promote better science education.”

In a letter to every member of the Senate, the groups point out that the LFF is a creationist organization with clear religious ties. Awarding tax money to this organization, they argue, presents serious church-state problems.

“This makes about as much sense as asking a plumber to fix your car you’ve got the wrong person for the job,” said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, one of the groups opposing the earmark. “The creationists’ main goal is to spread fundamentalist dogma, not enhance scientific literacy.”

Well it just figures that the whore mongering, family values, hypocrite would be behind this earmark.

Pandering to the religious right while dipping his wick in the sexy left. David Vitter is just the kind of two-faced lying politician who would believe that giving taxpayers dollars to dumb down our kids, while promoting the superstitious beliefs of his most ignorant constituents, was perfectly reasonable.

I still hope his wife wakes up one night and decides to "Bobbitt", just like she promised she would do if she caught him cheating. That just sounds like sweet justice to me.
