SNIP

What was that lie about Steven Hawking the US right wing extremists were
spouting that's already come back and bit them in the ass?


That was rather amusing. Almost as good as Hilary under sniper fire in
Bosnia. Easy mistakes for people to make, after all you can't expect
Americans to know Hawking is British

The republicans probably saw the Simpson's episode that featured Steven
Hawking and assumed he must be American.
