Nobel Laureates and Illiterates

I'm beginning to truly dig Hunter at the DailyKos. With respect to the Nobel Prize:

See, I just don't understand this. Rightwingers make it a point to be both anti-science and anti-intellectual, so it hardly takes an, er, rocket scientist to figure out why righties don't typically win the awards. What, did they really think the Discovery Institute was in the running this year, for their condemnation of every major scientific advancement of the last four hundred years in favor of the theory that Adam and Eve milked dinosaurs and sold the resulting DinoCheese in Cain's chain of God*Mart retail outlets?

On the other hand, I don't much like Harold Pinter neither.
