Doof Quote of the Week
"I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under Democrat President Jimmy Carter. And I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it is an interesting coincidence." —Michele Bachmann
I don't know what the "Democrat Party" is, but the flu outbreak happened in 1976. Jimmy Carter didn't become president until 1977. I find it interesting that a member of Congress could be such an unapologetic idiot.

What I find amazing is that her constituency voted for her knowing what they were getting. Unbelievably she is representative of much of the wingers that have boiled their brains in the soup of Beck, Rush & Malkin.

Bob, you could just go ahead and remove "Quote of the Week" to make it totally accurate.

Someone in The Medias™ needs to pin this dunceknuckle down and really press her on this point. Someone in The Medias™ needs to nod their head supportively at this statement, and then make with The Dreaded Follow-Up, which is this:
"So what, exactly, are you implying, Congresswoman? That Democrat Presidents are given a Secret Test Tube filled with politicized Swine Flu down in the Soros Media Bunker and -- when the time is just right -- they release it into the atmosphere in not just one but nearly a dozen different countries, killing hundreds, in order to terrify the Young Peoples into herding themselves peacefully into Reeducation Camps? EXACTLY what are you implying, Madam?"
Where's The Medias™ when a follow-up like that is needed? (Taking for granted, of course, that anything with the word "Pajamas" in it cannot possibly be taken seriously as a "media outlet.")

Bob,
"I find it interesting that a member of Congress could be such an unapologetic idiot. "
Careful there, big fella; we have a Vice President who is just as stupid. Unless, of course, the stock market crash really DID happen in the first year of FDR's presidency, and national television really did exist at the same time.
Bachman is an idiot. We all know that. But you're opening yourself up for trouble with a statement like that.

Funny, I find it interesting that the largest terrorist attack on U.S. soil happened under a "Republic" President. Just Sayin'

I find it interesting that every time Michele Bachmann's mouth opens, you hear the sound of bat-shit insanity. And I'm not saying Bachmann is bat-shit crazy, I just think it is an interesting coincidence

Her getting the history wrong doesn't really bother me. What bothers me is her implication. In addition to the fact that she's always trying to stir up one conspiracy or another because she's a moron who believes any fantasy she hears. Biden is in no way like this woman just because he's screwed some dates up.
My favorite moment so far, worse than Bachman, was Steele's reaction to the fact that Republics pulled funding for flu preparedness. He said they just didn't see swine flu coming. So am I to understand that they budget based on what they see coming? They have been inaccurate about every expectation they've had for a decade.

I find it interesting that Michele Bachmann entered the public limelight at pretty much the same time that Katherine Harris left it. The resemblance is uncanny. I'm not saying that they are the same person, I just think it is an interesting coincidence.

Ron White was right... You can't fix stupid.

John McCain has the same jawline as Richard Nixon!
Coincidence? I think not.

She's a blithering, sycophantic Republicon female like no other.

I observe that every time the Michele Bachmann opens her mouth, the stuff that comes out is wrong on so many levels.
Not only was Ford President during the 1976 Swine Flu outbreak, he was roundly criticized for insisting the everyone be vaccinated in spite of the advice of the medical community to only vaccinate high risk people. More people were made sick by the swine flu vaccine than by the swine flu.
The current virus outbreak is not the swine flu, it is the H1N1 virus which is more closely related to the avian flu which caused so much trouble in Asia in late 2007. The CDC has asked the media multiple times to stop calling it the swine flu since it is not the swine flu. The President is the only person on my TV to have gotten this message (TY QT).
Michele Bachmann is the poster child for Teh Stupid™.
I like her big psycho eyes as she splurts out inane things...it strangely turns me on....then I wake up.
Thank you Tim, I'm glad it's not just me.

That's because they ignore the Science and Medical community. Virologists warned about a potential pandemic this year. That's why the funding was in the ARRA, the medical community asked for it.
Steele has just admitted that the Republicans ignore experts. I suggest that we ignore the Republicans. They prove time and time again that they bring nothing useful to the table. We have more than enough bigotry and that seems to be their only reliable contribution.

I really didn't think that there would be anybody as dumb as Sarah Palin holding office in the Republican party. Bachmann proved me wrong by a mile.
Is this all the republicans have left to stand on; spreading lies and innuendo to their less than intelligent base? This is how they're going to rebuild their party and grab some independent support?

I think Michele Bachman is slighty retarded. Just sayin. I hope I did'nt "open myself up for trouble with that statment"...Big fella.
Posted by: chris manecke at April 29, 2009 1:34 PM
Seriously, who votes for someone like this? What kind of idiots are in her district to think she's a good person to represent them?
Posted by: Razor at April 29, 2009 3:41 PM
People, people people! She clearly has a special dispensational truth revealed to her by The Lord that says Hoot and Smawley are the real anmes and that all poli-sci textbooks are written by commie leftist pinko liberals who deliberately changed the names from Mr. Hoot and Mr. Smawley over the years to Smoot and Hawley just to make her look bad at this moment in time so that her message of hope, love and revolution gets lost in the confusion.
I mean, I really think she'd believe something that batshit absurd too. Sad.

Dammit, my comment above was supposd to be for the other story on the really stupid Michele Bachmann. See, just commenting on Ms. Bachmann has made me more stupid than usual. Sorry.
Posted by: ZIRGAR at April 29, 2009 10:20 PM
It strikes me that her "big psycho eyes" are actually "big Stepford eyes". She drank the koolade a lonnnnnnng time ago.

To para-phrase Dan Aykroyd from Saturday-Night Live; 'Michele you ignorant slut...'
I am beginning to believe that these conservatard women, the Coulters and Malkins and Ingrams, are all trying to prove which of them can be crazier and stupider than the others.
