He follows up apologizing for saying "All Lives Matter" with this:

“One of the things that preceded the failure of the nation state of Syria and the rise of ISIS was the effect of climate change and the mega-drought that affected that nation, wiped out farmers, drove people to cities, created a humanitarian crisis that created the symptoms, or rather, the conditions of extreme poverty that has now led to the rise of ISIS and this extreme violence,” he said.

Yeah, because before people started driving SUVs and flying in planes, the entire Middle East was a moderate climate in the 70s with frequent rainfall. This whole desert thing only happened in the last 50-100 years.

This guy is literally so fucking dumb that he should be locked away in an institution.

Kind of makes what you wonder what a Trump/O'Malley debate might look like, eh?

I would guess there's no way he actually believes this garbage and is simply trying to gather up support with the green crowd, but you never know with our current politicians.

You see, this is this whole Planned Parenthood scandal come full circle. A year after John Kerry was born his mother became pregnant again. Not wanting the baby she went to Planned Parenthood who got her an abortion and then sold the brain to a research lab which then blended it with other parts to create this O'Malley moron.

Mayor Carcetti from the Wire is said to be loosely based on O'Malley for Wire fans out there

I think the dinocrap who said Guam could tip over might actually be less stupid than O'Malley. I dunno, it's close.

Sad thing is he'd win states like MD, CA and NY no matter who the GOP nominated.
