Buffoon, uninterrupted

Yesterday's post on the Texas State Board of Education's hearing concerning science standards (translation' The ToE, primarily) mentioned that Don McLeroy got a crack at proving that he is, indeed, still Don McLeroy.

From the link at Right Wing Watch:

One of the first people to speak was Don McLeroy, a former chairman of the State Board of Education who was prominently featured in the documentary The Revisionaries. While most people were allowed just two minutes to speak, the board let McLeroy go on for over ten minutes in a bizarre speech in which he argued that the current textbooks teaching evolution should be approved because their evidence is so “weak” that children will realize that the theory of evolution is just “words” and a “just so story," and thereby strikes a "final blow" to the theory.

WARNING: that's this thing, right here. Consider yourselves warned. I take no responsibility for any noticeable decline in your overall intelligence as a result of watching this with the sound on.

And of course, a certain scene from an Adam Sandler film needs to be added; luckily, it doesn't actually feature Adam Sandler.
