Matt Damon suckered by nutroots smear of Palin? Update: Dowd suckered too?

Could a Harvard grad be so stupid as to have read this and taken it at face value?

On oil exploration and drilling in the ANWR:
God made dinosaurs 4,000 years ago as ultimately flawed creatures, lizards of Satan really, so when they died and became petroleum products we, made in his perfect image, could use them in our pickup trucks, snow machines and fishing boats.

That comes from this very broad lefty parody purporting to be quotations culled from the Anchorage Daily News. Follow the link to see just how broad.
