You can't explain that! Now, if you'll excuse me,

Do you think he's denying the existence of Phobos and Deimos, or is it that he just doesn't even know about them?

(I'm guessing the latter)

ok fine Mars has moons, who put them there? can u explain that to me, why does Mars have 2 moons and we only have one can you explain that to me?
 
It is reassuring to know that so many Americans are guided through the complex issues of our time by such a great mind.

But how did it get there? Who put it there? Did his brain just grow in his head? I don't think so.

Show me a leading commentator on a "liberal" station who is as thick as this guy. No doubt about it: Fox "News" stands alone in the world of journalism.
 
Bill O Reilly is intellectual target practice...
