John Derbyshire Actually Got It Right!

Via Ed Brayton, Derbyshire calls it on the Discovery Institute:

See, the Discovery Instutute [sic] does not want any Louisiana school boards bringing religious instruction into science lessons. Heaven forbid! They would never encourage that. Absolutely not! Why, that would be wrong.

All they do is encourage state legislators to pass, and clueless governors to sign, laws that tempt local boards to unconstitutional behavior. The sucker school boards are then on their own, stuck with spending their taxpayers' dollars on the defense of hopeless lawsuits. But, you know, the Discovery Institute had absolutely nothing to do with it. Nothing! Not a thing! All they did was offer some mild support to a perfectly harmless bill.

OK, as much as I hate to rely on Derbyshire as validation, can you still doubt my contention that the far right is as cynical as it is loopy?
