Orac is the nom de blog of a (not so) humble pseudonymous surgeon/scientist with an ego just big enough to delude himself that someone, somewhere might actually give a rodent's posterior about his miscellaneous verbal meanderings, but just barely small enough to admit to himself that few will.

Here's more evidence.
Yeah, I know it's old, but Donohue's popping up again, and I had forgotten what a nutjob he can be.
End of rare political rant. You may return to your regularly scheduled medical and science blogging.
ADDENDUM:
More examples have shown up in my in-box of the "wit" and lack of wisdom of William Donohue:
On using Martin Luther King as an example (on YouTube here).
On sexual abuse by priests: ""[M]ost 15-year-old teenage boys wouldn't allow themselves to be molested. So why did you?"

It might not have been the smartest of moves to follow up the sentence: "They like anal sex" with "I like children"

As a Massachusetts resident, I am deeply offended when right wingers appropriate Bay State symbols of the American Revolution for their own ends (Michael Savage's Paul Revere society, the Minutemen in the border states). If I was still Catholic, I'd feel much the same thing about this asshole.
I think him and people like him are on the rise though, and so many people in the center and on the left are cowed by these right-wing loonies that I don't see much hope for a substantive backlash. The righties' marketing schemes are just too good.

As a Catholic, I have to agree. I mean, this douche basically just decided to call his group "the Catholic League", it's not like he's appointed by the Pope or anything. I think a more fitting name would be "the Right Wing Culture Warrior" league. Or just "Douchebags 'R Us".

Here's a woo angle to Bill "I'm crazy as batguano' Donahue this column can explore. The Catholic League has blog ads stating "Want To Know a Dirty Little Secret?
CONDOMS DON'T SAVE LIVES a public service message by the Catholic League". Now all reputable research shows the exact opposite. It's time to stop pampering this dangerous lunatic and call him what he is, a bigoted, racist, purveyor of lies.

There's something also in naming your "Catholic anti-defamation" group after the people responsible for the St Bartholemew's Day massacre, which I'm sure the Church would prefer people forgot about.

He made a very low-key appearance on The Colbert Report about a year ago. Stephen Colbert just gave him a lot of rope.
