The Federalist's Sean Davis nails self-righteous journos to the wall over Walker evolution non-scandal

That’s excellent advice.

As Twitchy reported, lefties are weirdly giddy over Gov. Scott Walker’s refusal to state flat-out whether or not he subscribes to the theory of evolution. Members of the media are beside themselves with delight at what they see as a golden opportunity to paint Walker — and the entire GOP — as anti-science.

But when push comes to shove, are these “real journalists” actually in any position to claim intellectual superiority? The Federalist’s Sean Davis sure as hell doesn’t think so, so he decided to give them a much-needed taste of their own medicine:

So, GOP candidates are scientists when it comes to vaccines. But not evolution and climate change. Got it.

Every journalist who asks a GOPer about evolution should be required to explain what DNA does at the molecular level first.
