Bowing to pressure, Sen. David Vitter, R-La., has backed off an attempt to steer $100,000 in taxpayer money to a Louisiana Christian group that supports teaching religious and alternative theories of creation alongside evolution in science classrooms.

Vitter went to the Senate floor Wednesday and announced that "to avoid more hysterics," he wanted to shift the money to science and computer labs in the Ouachita Parish schools. He said the earmark had been misconstrued.

"The project, which would develop a plan to promote better science-based education in Ouachita Parish by Louisiana Family Forum, has raised concerns among some that its intention was to mandate and push creationism within the public schools," Vitter said. "That is clearly not and never was the intent of the project, nor would it have been its effect."

2. O K

So we have this known liar who now expects that we should believe him. The only ones who believe that lying sack of shit are naive democratic politicians, too scared that their own pasts and collusion with criminals will be discovered and put on the front page.

No republicans believe him; they are merely fellow travelers on the gangster trail and have an agreement not to point out his obvious unsuitability for the job.

Sitting in shit makes him uncomfortable and prone to hallucinations. He sees hysterics all around.
