Michele Bachmann: Just When You Thought She Couldn't Be More Idiotic

Michele Bachmann never met an issue she couldn't mangle, and now she's knee-deep in another one.


See, when Obama announced the stimulus package, to help get the economy moving, Bachmann was vociferously vocal about it, criticizing Obama, saying it wouldn't work, calling it gay and, therefore, of Satan, you know, her usual rhetoric.


But, um, Michele? Honey? Wingnut? Liar? Why then did you eagerly accept the money?


In private, it seems that serial liar Michele Bachmann not only repeatedly sought stimulus funds from federal agencies, but justified her rabid requests by claiming that the funds would create jobs and strengthen the economy. And yet, publicly Bachmann denounced the stimulus as an act of "overspending" and "fantasy economics" that hurt jobs.


Of course, when asked by her usual two-faced approach, Bachmann replied; "I voted against the stimulus and I was very public against the stimulus. After the stimulus was passed and the money was there, why should my constituents or anyone else be disadvantaged?" 


So, she thought it was wrong, she thought it wouldn't help, she thought it was bad policy, but she stood in line with her hands out to take it.


Asshat say what?


Bachmann says she sought federal money to create jobs in her district, even though she preached, because let's face it, with her religious wingnutism, she does a lot of preaching, that government spending [i.e. the stimulus package] would, in fact, hurt the economy and destroy jobs. Again, she said publicly that it would destroy jobs and then took the money in the hopes of creating jobs.


It's the Michele Bachmann special, a Two-Step-Flip-Flop Lie.


Does she even understand economics?
Does she even understand anything?


And let's talk about the debt ceiling issue. Bachmann was very vocal in her opposition to raising the debt ceiling, which would allow the U.S. to continue to borrow money, while policy experts from both parties agreed it should be raised.


Now, Bachmann is claiming she had never advocated for default, but had put a plan on the table that would have denied an increase in the debt ceiling and instead required the Treasury Department to prioritize payments to US creditors, Social Security recipients, Medicare beneficiaries and the military. But, was she aware that her "plan" would have required defunding a majority of government programs, from unemployment benefits to the FBI?


Bachmann was not bothered by that prospect.
Another Two-Step-Flip-Flop Lie.


And then, when asked how she would work with the Democrats if....and it's a big If....huge....she was elected president, Bachmann said she would "work tirelessly" to ensure that the Republican Party picked up 13 seats in the Senate, giving Republicans a filibuster-proof majority to enact her agenda.


So, she wouldn't work with the Democrats, and she wouldn't work with anyone who doesn't agree with her asshatted policies, her wingnutism, her fucktarditude.


Two-Step-Flip-Flop Lie.
That's what you get with Bachmann.

Ladies and Gentle-Ladies, Your GOP Anti-Gay Presidential Candidates:

I can't help myself, because this sums up the GOP perfectly.

The GOP presidential candidates echoed and re-echoed their anti-gay marriage sentiments loud and clear in Iowa last week. And even though nearly every single poll out there shows that the majority of Americans  support marriage equality. Only former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman distinguished himself for his support of civil unions--which is still not good enough.

MITT ROMNEY: Marriage is a status. It’s not an activity that goes on within the walls of a state and as a result, our marriage status relationship should be constant across the country. I believe we should have a federal amendment to the Constitution that defines marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman.

JON HUNTSMAN: I also believe in civil unions, because I believe this nation can do a better job when it comes to equality and I believe we can do a better job when it comes to reciprocal beneficiary rights rights.

RON PAUL: I think marriages should be between a single man and a single woman and that the federal government shouldn’t be involved.

RICK SANTORUM: It sounds to me like Rep. Paul would say that polygamous marriages are okay.

MICHELE BACHMANN: I support the federal marriage amendment…and as president I would not nominate activist judges who would legislate from the bench.










Asshat Quotes

Seriously, Anyone Who Thinks This Asshat Is Presidential Material Is A F**king Loon

She cannot answer a question.
Or, when she does, she simply says, "I am running for the President of the United States."
She doesn't 'judge' but believes gay people are 'of Satan'.
Again, seriously, if you are thinking of voting for this delusional fucktard, then i would hazard a guess that you, too, are a delusional fucktard.
Just sayin'.

It's Not Just Her Eyes That Are Crazy.....

Lots of folks talking about the recent cover of Newsweek featuring Michele Bachmann looking, well, slightly crazed; okay, very crazed. Some folks, those with Tea Bags, are sayin' it's a deliberate attempt to discredit her campaign for the presidency.
Other folks, like Jon Stewart and, well, me, say she is crazy, and it isn't just her eyes, it's the stuff that comes out of her mouth.

So, I present these without comment because that would be like shooting fish in a barrel. Let's listen in:

Michele Bachmann on the Theory of Evolution [2003]:
"Where do we say that a cell became a blade of grass, which became a starfish, which became a cat, which became a donkey, which became a human being? There’s a real lack of evidence from change from actual species to a different type of species. That's where it's difficult to prove."

Michele Bachmann on the Gay Marriage debate [2004]: 
"We're in a state of crisis where our nation is literally ripping apart at the seams right now, and lawlessness is occurring from one ocean to the other. And we're seeing the fulfillment of the Book of Judges here in our own time, where every man doing that which is right in his own eyes—in other words, anarchy."

Michele Bachmann on the 'good news' about Melissa Etheridge's breast cancer [2004]:
"Unfortunately she is now suffering from breast cancer, so keep her in your prayers. This may be an opportunity for her now to be open to some spiritual things, now that she is suffering with that physical disease. She is a lesbian."

Michele Bachmann on wiping out the minimum wage [2005]:
"Literally, if we took away the minimum wage—if conceivably it was gone—we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level."

Michele Bachmann's prayer for You Can Run But You Cannot Hide International, an anti-gay heavy metal ministry that promotes the gospel to public school students [2006]:
"I thank you for how you are going to advance them from 260 schools a year, Lord, to 2,600 schools a year. Lord, we ask by faith that you would expand this ministry beyond anything the originators of this ministry could begin to think or imagine."

Michele Bachmann on Iran planning to turn Northwest Iraq into a terrorist training camp [2007]:
"Iran is the troublemaker trying to tip over apple carts all over Baghdad right now because they want America to pull out. And you know why? It's because they've already decided, that they're going to territory, they're- they're going to partition Iraq and half of Iraq, the western northern portion of Iraq is going to be called, the United, uh, the, the uh, -oh, I'm sorry, I can't remember the actual name of it now, but it's going to be called, um, uh, the, the, uh, uh the Iraq State of Islam, something like that."

Michele Bachmann, on her opposition to a bill that expands AmeriCorps, the Peace Corps' domestic equivalent [2009]:
"I believe that there is a very strong chance that we will see that young people will be put into mandatory service. And the real concerns is that there are provisions for what I would call re-education camps for young people, where young people have to go and get trained in a philosophy that the government puts forward and then they have to go to work in some of these politically correct forums."

Michele Bachmann, rewriting history for the teabaggers New Hampshire [2010]:
"What I love about New Hampshire and what we have in common is our extreme love for liberty. You’re the state where the shot was heard around the world in Lexington and Concord."

Michele Bachmann Bachmann on how to fix the nation's long-term deficit [2011]:
"I think if we give Glenn Beck the numbers, he can solve this."

Michele Bachmann praising the Founding Fathers for their commitment to diversity [2011]:
"It didn't matter the color of their skin, it didn't matter their language, it didn't matter their economic status, it didn't matter whether they descended from known royalty or whether they were of a higher class or a lower class, it made no difference. Once you got here [to the United States] you were all the same. Isn't that remarkable?"

Michele Bachmann Said What!?!

A Tale Of Two Republicans

The GOP really wants to take the White House back in 2012, because, you know, the last time they had it they did such a bang up job, starting wars, toppling the economy, adding trillions to the deficit, while cutting taxes for the rich.

So, they want to take it away from the Democrats and go back to bad business as usual. And two of the candidates hoping to unseat Obama--and I giggle, because they can't--are the lovely and idiotic Michele Bachmann, and the lovely and RUMORED to be gay--I think because of his beautiful hair--Rick Perry.

But these two are running quite the different campaigns, and the way they run their campaigns is how they would run the country if they ever--and I'm still giggling because they won't-get elected president.

Michele Bachmann lies, and is so pathological about it, that she doesn't even know she's lying. Remember her old chestnut about Obama's trip to India costing the American people $200 million a day? Even when that was proven to be a lie she didn't back down because , to her, a lie becomes the truth if you keep saying it.

Now, however, Bachmann isn't talking. At least about her ex-gay husband and his ex-gay business turning gay people straight through prayer and brainwashing. No, that she won't discuss. Nor will she discuss her part in the business, as the owner, or how the clinic is funded by the American taxpayers, and recives Medicaid payments, or why her district has been dubbed a "suicide contagion area" by Minnesota officials.


Bachmann believes she can say whatever the hell she wants and then clam up if the questions get too hard, or too close to home, or too 'Your husband's a big ol queen.'
So, don't ask her about praying away the gay, she won't answer. And don't ask her about the money she took from Medicaid for her business while calling Medicaid and Medicare socialism. And don't ask her about the rash of suicides in her congressional district and how she voted against antibullying measures in 2006.

She won't talk. She'll walk away. She cut off the feed if she's doing the interview via satellite, and her 'people' will physically push reporters out of the way; just ask ABC News' Brian Ross who was shoved while trying to ask Bachmann about the ex-gay business.

So, that's what you get with Bachmann, You get the lies and the innuendo, all unproven, though she'll keep spreading them. But you also get non-answers, you get cut off, you get shoved, if she doesn't like the question. That would be a Bachmann presidency.

But then we have good old boy from Texas, Rick Perry. What kind of president would he make? Well, from all appearances, he'd be just like George Bush, a puppet president being controlled by people in the background.

I mean, there's no argument that while W was president, it was Dick Cheney and Karl Rove pulling the string while Bush did the lying wear-mongering, profiteering for big business two-step. But who's pulling the strings on Rick Perry? Let's see....

Ricky made headlines for his comments regarding the passage of marriage equality in New York by appearing to be pro-equality: "Our friends in New York six weeks ago passed a statute that said marriage can be between two people of the same sex. And you know what? That's New York, and that's their business, and that's fine with me. That is their call. If you believe in the 10th Amendment, stay out of their business."

But then Rick Perry apparently got a "talking to" by Bryan Fischer of the hate group, American Family Association [AFA], because he changed his remarks, saying, now, “I probably needed to add a few words after that ‘it’s fine with me,’ and that it’s fine with me that a state is using their sovereign rights to decide an issue. Obviously gay marriage is not fine with me. My stance hasn’t changed.”

But that isn't what you said, Rick. You said marriage equality was fine with you until the über conservative AFA got hold of you, and you realized you might be losing your right-wingnut, Tea Party conservative, religious zealot base.

So, he pandered to the AFA. And now he's out saying it again and again, how, although he said he was fine with states deciding the issue of marriage equality, he isn't really fine with it. In fact, he downright opposes it, dagnabbit.

So, there we have it, the tale of two Republicans, and glimpses of what this country will be if either one was ever elected to that office. One will refuse to speak when the questions get too hard, or too close to home, while the other will let groups like the AFA determine his position on the issues for him.

Is that really the directions anyone should be headed?

Bachmann Won't Talk
The Rick Perry Marriage Equality Two-Step

Oh Newt, Dear Moronic, Homophobic, Adultering Unelectable Newt

Bragging and boasting about how he can be a good president, while putting down the current Commander-In-Chief, will not a candidacy make. And now, there are new troubles for Newt "Serial Adulterer" Gingrich's presidential campaign.


It seems that his popularity, such as it was, has sunk to a new low, lagging behind a slew of other Republican hopefuls. And then we get word that his campaign is more than a million dollars in debt. Almost half the debt is for private air travel because Newty and Missus Newty don't fly commercial. And this new development comes just weeks after 18 key aides and advisors abruptly quit.

And yet Newty pledges to stay in the race. In fact, he was in Iowa last week, and the aides that haven't abandoned this rapidly sinking ship say he expects to spend more time in the state in coming weeks, although he plans to skip the Iowa straw poll later this summer that his former aides and advisors has seen as a key part of his campaign there.

And, of course, being a million or so in debt, he has not been able to replace most of the consultants and staff members who fled, instead relying heavily on unpaid, volunteer support, while he stills jets about privately.

He's spinning his lack of funds as an effort to build a grass-roots, Internet-driven campaign he can run with a smaller staff. Again, while he still flies privately so as not to mingle with real people.

Oh, F**ksNews! You Slay Me!

Listen to the last sentence......after, of course, wading through the WMD stupidity to get there:

Yes, indeedy, there were no terrorist attacks on the country during 2000 to 2008.
And, in other F**ksNews:

No Jews were harmed during the making of WWII.
The Blacks weren't slaves, they were just unemployed and we helped by giving them jobs, a home, three squares a day, and beatings and rapes.
The gays invented AIDS so we could kill off the heteros and rule the world.

What other 'news' stories can we expect from F**ksNews?

It's The Latest Thing.....

Remember back in the day when all the starlet wannabes, and has-been singers, and drug addicted wactresses, would flash their lady bits to the paparazzi?

I mean, it was the way to get yourself in the papers, dontcha know. A little peep of the vah-jay-jay and you were front page news.

Seriously. Once could be considered an accident, but as many times as I was subjected to looking at the girlie parts of Paris and Britney and Lindsay, I almost switched gears and became a gynecologist.

So, how do people get themselves a little free press these days? I mean, flashing your privates is sooooo 2007.

Faggot. That'll do it. Kobe did it. Others, too. And suddenly we were talking about them because they called someone a fag, or a fucking fag, or merely just mouthed the word gay, and then they got all the press. The apology press. the Oh I didn't mean it...I love gay people press.

I'm so over it. And yet here it goes again.

White Sox player Gordon Beckham wanted to send a little message to his BFF, Kansas City Royals' Chris Getz, when their two teams faced off against one another last week. So, what did he do? Send off a Tweet saying, Gonna beat you in the game next week? Maybe fire off an email, We're gonna crush
you guys in that game?Nope. Gordon Beckham decided the way to show his best friend how much he likes him was to scrawl a message in the dirt around the baseball diamond: "Getz Is Gay."

So..........funny.

Only now, Beckham is on the I'm Sorry Tour, saying, "Chris is one of my best friends. It was a joke. I didn’t know anybody could see [the dirt]. I didn’t mean anything, you know?"

Except to call his best friend gay as a means to deride him, and mock him. But then he goes on, and on, apologizing:  "I just want you to know that that’s not me. I don’t use slurs. I have a lot of gay friends. I didn’t mean it as anything ­— you know, like gay as in ... happy! Or, you know, an alliteration — ‘Getz is gay.'"

Hmmm. I don't use slurs.
But'cha did, Blanche, but'cha did.

Hmmmm, Gay, as in....happy.
Yeah, that makes sense. Why not just say Getz is happy, asshat?

But then he piles on more, using Getz is Gay as a form of an alliterative slur. Maybe Gordon Beckham ought to whip out the Thesaurus before his next dirt writing homophobia mood sets in.

And then we have Philadelphia Eagles DeSean Jackson, who, during an interview on the All Out Show, one of his fans, Troy in Tennessee, who called in to the show, and asked if Jackson "had his dick knocked in the dirt [indecipherable]," before the call ends.

Not so very nice, you know, but apparently, and I'm not up on the sports lingo, "knocking one's dick in the dirt" means knocking someone down or out. Okay, so I guess it makes sense, although I might just ask if you got knocked down, and leave your dick out of the call.

But DeSean wasn't real pleased with the call, and asked Troy, "What type of question is that? Say 'no homo', gay-ass. Faggot."

Hmmm, you got knocked down, and someone asks about it, so the appropriate response is to call someone a faggot.

Jackson has yet to begin his Apology Tour, and "Rude" Jude from the All Out Show, actually hopes Jackson won't apologize. he says Jackson was just bantering, you know, and that he's a "is a hood dude," and for "hood cats, the worst thing you can call someone is a bitch or a faggot. I don't think he's homophobic. He's joking."

Yeah, it's funny to call someone a faggot. It's funny to use that word to demean someone. And it's funny when someone decides that their sports heroes are right and faggots are just no good, and there is no need to have them around and you go out and maybe bash a couple of faggots.

It's all in a game, right?
I'm so sorry.

Being Gay Isn't A Choice, Being A Homophobic Moron, However, Is

Out there in Iowa, where they have marriage equality, and corn, as well as a group of conservative asshatted wingnuts who have come up with a pledge that they wants all Republican presidential candidates to sign.

It, naturally, opposes marriage equality, but also opposes Sharia law and bans pornography; pornography? What will the GOP do without their porn?

But the pledge also contains a passage declaring that homosexuality is a choice, rather than a biological trait. Yes.....it does.

And the first Repugnant Republican to step up and sign it? None other than Married-To-The-Ex-Gay, Michele Bachmann.

Now, we all know that Bachmann was born straight, and probably born stupid. But she chose to be a bigot, a homophobe, and she chose to marry a man who professes the ability to get rid of the gay.

Is this really the leader the Republicans want? I mean, that would be their choice, right?

The Tool Shed.....It's Where I Put The Tools

'Bout time this tool was put away........

Hey Teabaggers? You Picked her!

Even though she already appeared in one Presidential Debate, where she announced she was running for President, Michele Bachmann went to Iowa this week to announce again that she wants to be our Crazy-Eyes-In-Chief.

Now, you may wonder why she's announcing again. Well, no one, except for her faithful wingnut minions, ever believes a word she says because she's known for her tendency to, um, lie, so she says everything twice.....or thrice.

So, there she was in Waterloo, Iowa, you betcha by golly wowing her fans as she announced she would be the next president of these Untied States. And during her announcement, she compared herself to one of the towns most famous residents, John Wayne, saying,  "That's the kind of spirit I have too."

Um, Michele? Honey? John Wayne wasn't from Waterloo. It was John Wayne Gacy, serial killer, to whom you compared yourself. Gacy, who has "that kind of spirit", as Bachmann reminded us, murdered 33 young men and teenage boys in the late 70s.

Oh, Michele.

You're dumb.
And you will never be president of anything.

Liar. Fraud. Bachmann.

Michele Bachmann is running for president on a platform of crazy, misinformed, pandering, and downright lying.

I mean, we all know that, right?

Well, all of us except for those Teabaggers to who she panders the most. Whatever the 'Baggers say they want, Michele just repeats it ad nauseum like it was her own brilliant idea. One of the 'Baggers biggest complaints, besides, well, everything else, is that government is too much in their business, and they want less government, and less government control.

So Michele says, Hey! I want that, too, and I'm just the one to give it to you.

Um........liar.

See, back on November 5, 2009, when Bachmann and her Hounds Of Hell saw an opportunity for her to run for--and ultimately lose--president, she wanted to hold a Tea Party for her minions. And on that day, thousands of 'Baggers descended on the Minnesota state capitol to vent their anger over many things, from health care reform--even though it might benefit them most of all--and big government.

Sounds like a lovely day, right? i mean, if you're into listening to a Crazy Eyed Moron speak.

But her masses of Teabagging activists gathered and ranted, meandered and chanted..."Kill the bill! Kill the bill!"...and waved their signs--many of which were unfortunately misspelled--and had no idea that the very government that they were protesting, had paid for the event.

At the request of their Leader, Michele Bachmann.

According to House expense reports, Bachmann and three of her kin, er, conservative GOP colleagues--Tom Price of Georgia, Steve King of Iowa, and Todd Akin of Missouri--each paid $3,407.50 that day to a sound and stage company called National Events, apparently for the sound system used at the rally.

Nice that they could do that, you know, pay for the rally. Except they didn't.

The money came from the Members' taxpayer-funded office accounts, despite House rules prohibiting the use of these funds for political activities. Michele Bachmann's office insists the expense was a proper use of official funds because they called the event a "press conference." Press conferences can be funded from official accounts, but aren't press conferences designed for, um, the press.

Not at Bachmann's Tea Party.
Her press conference took no questions from the press.
Her press conference opened with a prayer.
Her press conference included the National Anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance.
And her delighted throng of 'Baggers paid for it.

A few days earlier, Bachmann appeared on Fox News--naturally--and appealed to Teabagger activists to come to Washington DC for her event, promising to help them lobby Congress against the bill: "I'm asking people to come to Washington, D.C., by the carload. I'd love to have every one of your viewers join me so that we can go up and down through the halls. Find Members of Congress, look at the whites of their eyes and say, 'Don't take away my health care.'"

Now, did she doing anything legally wrong in using taxpayer funds to have her Tea Party. Sadly, no, because, although House rules prohibit the use of official resources for political purposes, the definition of what is political is murky and House "Members often have discretion in determining whether an event will be 'political' or 'official.'"

Still, while it might not have been legally wrong, I wonder how the Teabaggers feel, knowing that their champion for less government involvement and lower taxes, used their tax money to hold a rally? Did Bachmann tell them? Of course, not, because Michele Bachmann wouldn't know the truth if Mama Grizzly Bore delivered it to her on a dog sled.

Hopefully, though I seriously doubt it, Teabaggers will remember this when they begin voting in the primaries. The woman who says she wants to ease the burden of taxpayers uses taxpayer money to promote herself and her causes.

In the end, I guess, you get what you pay for.

Seriously. Retire Already

If I were one of those addle-brained, God-fearing men that believe the tornadoes were sent to Joplin, Missouri because of something Obama said about Israel, or that Katrina decimated New Orleans because of The Gays, I might think that the fires sweeping through Arizona have something to do with all those illegal immigrants that are down there taking jobs away from Americans and selling drugs and beheading people in the desert.

But I'm not, though, I think I found someone who is.

Old John "Get offa my porch, dagnabbit" McCain, says the fires in Arizona are being caused by illegals: "There is substantial evidence that some of these fires are caused by people who have crossed our border illegally....They have set fires because they signal others, they have set fires to keep warm, and they have set fires in order to divert law enforcement agents and agencies from them. The answer to that part of the problem is to get a secure border."

McCain uttered his baseless accusation at a press conference held just after he toured the area devastated by the Wallow Fire, which has burned over 500,000 acres to date.

Trouble is, as usual, McCain is apparently speaking out of his ass. He offered no evidence to support his claim, and Tom Berglund, a U.S. Forest Service spokesman, said there is no evidence that undocumented immigrants had caused the Wallow fire: "Absolutely not, at this level. There's no evidence that I'm aware, no evidence that's been public, indicating such a thing.”

Latino groups and anyone with half a brain quickly blasted McCain for his idiotic remarks. Angelo Falcon, the president of the National Institute for Latino Policy, said, "With the lack of evidence, he might as well also blame aliens from outer space for the fires.”

Don't give him any ideas!

On Monday morning, McCain's handlers went into action, trying to cover his half-brained rants by saying that he was referring to blazes in southern Arizona generally, both now and in years past. Brooke Buchanan, Senator McCain's communications director, said, "During the press conference on Saturday, Senator McCain was referring to fires on the Arizona/Mexico border, not the Wallow Fire.”

Except that was giving the press conference at the site of the Wallow Fire, so your explanation, Brooke, is just dumb. Like your Senator.

Poor Mitt.....I Think We Need A Telethon

Failing that, does anyone have a teeny-weeny-itty-bitty-tiny violin to play for the poor man? Why? You ask. Well, it seems that Mitt Romney is unemployed, like so many other Americans and we should feel sorry for him.

Romney, aptly labeled "out of touch" by the Democratic National Committee, for the remarks he made in Florida this week, is now back-pedaling and shifting focus, and playing with smoke and mirrors so we don't look at the man behind the curtain.

See, Mitt was down in Florida, talking to, and ALLEGEDLY listening to, small business owners in that state, when the crowd began telling their tales of how hard it is to find work in this economy. So, um, what did Mitt do? Did he offer up a comprehensive plan on how to get America, and Americans, back to work? Did he propose a new, brilliant strategy for fixing the deficit?

No, Mitt Romney, multi-millionaire presidential candidate, said that maybe he should speak: “I should tell my story, I’m also unemployed.”

The DNC emailed bombed his campaign headquarters, and the Romeny Camp went into spin overdrive, saying the crowd laughed at Shecky, er, Mitt, and that he was just being self-deprecating.

Which is easy to do when you're worth millions.

The MGB® Movie Poster

I didn't want to post this, but then the fits of giggle started and I just had to share. This is ALLEGEDLY. the poster for the Mama Grizzly Bore [MGB®] movie.

So, what's funny about it?
For starters, the title. THE UNDEFEATED!!!
Seriously! Have we already forgotten the defeat of Ott-Eight? I mean, I can see calling it The Quitter, or Half-Term or Nobody Likes Me 'Cept The Crazies. But The Undefeated?

And what are folks saying about it, hmmmm?

Zac Hart says: Should be titled Unfinishable... Considering she has yet to serve a full term in ANY of her elected offices... Palin for president - what a joke.

Travis Michael Brown says: she is giving the double hand job.

Kenny Miller-Gass says: Is this the sequel to: "No Substance: Reiterated Talking Points and Buzz Words Beaten to Death like a Dead Alaskan Moose!"?

So, what do YOU think MGB®'s movie debut should be called?

Um, Yeah, Doesn't She Work In The Building?

If anyone ever had any doubt that Fox "New'" is nothing more than a right-wing political group masquerading as a "news"channel, this ought to dispel that myth.

Over the weekend, the "news' channel was doing a story on probably candidates for president in 2012, and focused a bit on Mama Grizzly Bore [MGB®], who says there's a "50-50" chance she'll run. Sidenote: I half-expected someone as illiterate as the MGB® might say she thought there was 50-60 chance she'd run, but I digress.

See, during that piece on the MGB®, Fox "News" put her picture up. or did they? Judge for yourself.

And here's a larger version of the picture they used:

That's right. The "news" channel couldn't tell the difference between Tina Fey spoofing the MGB® and the actual MGB®. And the real one actually works for Fox "News" so you'd think they'd know which is the fake one and which is the stupid one.

David Clark, Executive Producer of Weekend Programming, FOX News released the following statement: “This past Sunday during ‘America’s News Headquarters,’ a graphics error was made during a segment on former Alaska Governor S____ P____. The producer has since been disciplined and an explanation and apology will be made in the same hour next Sunday. Fox News regrets the error.”"

Error. That's another way of syaing, "We're not a real news station because we can even send out the "News" without a disclaimer.

That's Our Nikki: Vindictive, Bitter, and Yes, Bitch

Our beloved.....I'll pause until the giggles subside...governor, the Transparent Nikki Haley, held an 'End Of Session' party at the Governor's Mansion, paid for by the people of South Carolina, where she served food and drink, paid for by the people of South Carolina, and Nikki asked everyone to come, except for some Democrats, and at least one Republican, that she doesn't like or feels like they crossed her.

Call it the Mama Grizzly Bore Complex.

The excuses for the interesting guest list began to fly almost immediately. Nikki's spokesmoron, Rob Godfrey, says the cookout was actually hosted by Nikki's husband so they could invite whomever they chose. But, then, why call it an 'End Of Session' cookout, if the First Hubby is the host? He has nothing to do with the legislature.

But, like most legislators, Democratic Representative Boyd Brown assumed all legislators were invited, until he was stopped at the gate of the house where Nikki lives for free, and told he wasn't on the list. Brown says he's not sure what he did to be excluded, but spokesasshat, Rob Godfrey, said Brown had publicly and privately disrespected Haley, and fought her agenda during the legislative session.

That was followed by a foot stomp, and a "So there," I believe.

Among others on the governor's It's-My-Party-And-I-Won't-Ask-The-People-Who-Don't-Kiss-My Ass list were Democratic....of course....House Minority Leader Harry Ott,  Democratic....of course.....Senator Brad Hutto, Republican....Huh? Oh yeah, he doesn't like Nikki....Senator Jake Knotts, and Smallville's own Democrat....naturally....Vincent Sheheen who just happened to nearly beat Nikki in the last election, and stomped her ass in every debate from here to Charleston, and continues to show what an awful mistake the Repugs of South Carolina made during the last election.

That's our Nikki. She said she'd be transparent and she is doing just that. It's transparent that if you disagree with her, you're on the Do Not Call list. It's transparent that while she lives in a house that I, and all South Carolinians, pay for, and throws a party that I, and all South Carolinians, including the dozen or so state legislator she didn't invite, pay for, that she'll do whatever the hell she pleases.

I'm waiting for the bi-partisan door to slam in her face. And the next election when Nikki gets sent packing.

That's a party I'd attend!

NJ Governor Christie Is EXACTLY What's Wrong With The GOP

There is a sense of entitlement among many members--to be fair, not all members--of the GOP. There is a sense of Do as I say, not as I do among members of the GOP. There is a sense of hypocrisy among certain members of the GOP. And nowhere is that evidence of hypocritical, self-entitled arrogance more plainly on display than in the actions of ALLEGED fiscal conservative, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. 


See, Christie's son, Andrew, was playing in a college baseball tournament recently and, like any good dad, Christie wanted to attend the game. So he did. He arrived at the game aboard a STATE POLICE helicopter, and then took a limousine the rest of the way. 


Fans heard the whrrr of the 55-foot long STATE POLICE helicopter and watched it land beyond the trees behind left field. Governor Christie got off the helicopter and then got into a limo with tinted windows that drove him about a 100 yards to the baseball field. 


Yes, he helicoptered in and the had someone drive him 300 feet. And, of course, as governor, he's so busy trying to fix the economy and rein in wasteful government spending that, during the fifth inning,  he and First Lady Mary Pat Christie got back into the limousine, drove the 300 feet, boarded the STATE POLICE helicopter and went home. Play was stopped for a couple of minutes while the helicopter took off. 


Now, how does a governor, who paints himself as a fiscal conservative, justify using a STATE POLICE helicopter to fly into a baseball game? Well, for starters you have one of your lackeys, in this case spokesmoron Michael Drewniak, release a statement: "It is a means of transportation that is occasionally used as the schedule demands. This has historically been the case in prior administrations as well, and we continue to be judicious in limiting its use." 


Okay, a "means of transportation that is occasionally used". I can buy that, if say, the governor was visiting the site of a natural disaster, or traveling state-to-state for New Jersey business. But to use a STATE POLICE helicopter to go to your son's baseball game is the height of arrogance, and self-entitlement and hypocrisy. 


The helicopter Christie used for his day trip cost the taxpayers of New Jersey 12.5 million dollars to buy. They are designed for homeland security duties and transporting critically injured patients, and, apparently, to ferry the governor to sporting events. It also cost the taxpayers $3,300 for that single trip, and Christie said he would not be paying any of that money himself. 


Seriously. He flew in a $12 million helicopter, spending $3,300 of the taxpayers money and sees absolutely nothing wrong with it? In fact, his only real comment was that his son, Andrew, thanked him for coming to the game. Thanks Dad, for screwing your constituents so you could watch me play. 


But then, after hearing the outcry of not only the Democratic party, but the people of New Jersey, Christie finally broke down and paid for the ride, using $2,100 of his own money and $1,200 from the GOP. Christie said he was paying not because he believed he was in the wrong, but because the furor had become a distraction from serious matters. 


Like the economy. You know that bad situation where people are losing their jobs and their homes, or are struggling to make ends meet by working two and three jobs and missing their own children's sporting events, while the governor is flown to and from his own son's game, and then charges the taxpayers for it? 


Seriously, people, this is a man who is being courted to run for president in 2012, by people who think Obama has bungled the economic mess. Yes, they want a man so self-entitled, so arrogant, so hypocritical, so out-of-touch, to be the next president. 


That's your GOP.

Seth Meyers Was Right: It WAS A Joke

Real estate mogul, reality TV celebrity, bad hair and serial bankruptcy filer, Donald Trump has announced he will not be running for president in 2012. In a related story, he did admit he is still considering a run for President of the Hair Club For Men, since he's already a client.

But Chump, er, Hump, er, Trump, said, in his statement, well, he said a lot of things, so lets listen in, and I'll make snide remarks as we go:

"After considerable deliberation and reflection, I have decided not to pursue the office of the Presidency. This decision does not come easily or without regret; especially when my potential candidacy continues to be validated by ranking at the top of the Republican contenders in polls across the country."

Um, Donald, being tied for fifth place with Ron Paul is not the TOP of the polls, unless you're reading them upside down.

"I maintain the strong conviction that if I were to run, I would be able to win the primary and ultimately, the general election."

So, you could win the nomination and the election, but you won't run? Really, Donny?

"I want to personally thank the millions of Americans who have joined the various Trump grassroots movements and written me letters and e-mails encouraging me to run. My gratitude for your faith and trust in me could never be expressed properly in words."

Sorry, Teabaggers, I care more about my wallet than I do yours.

"I will continue to voice my opinions loudly and help to shape our politician's thoughts. My ability to bring important economic and foreign policy issues to the forefront of the national dialogue is perhaps my greatest asset and one of the most valuable services I can provide to this country."

In other words, though I could run and win, I won't do it, but I also won't shut my mouth, because when I speak, people listen, but not if I'm president.

"I will continue to push our President and the country's policy makers to address the dire challenges arising from our unsustainable debt structure and increasing lack of global competitiveness....including getting tough on China and other countries that are methodically and systematically taking advantage of the United States, were seldom mentioned before I brought them to the forefront of the country's conversation."

Yeah, Donny, no one was talking about China until you brought it up.

Keep strokin' that ego, Chump, er, Hump, er, Trump, but rest assured that though you had scads of followers the chances of you getting elected to any public office higher than dog catcher were minimal, at best.

Now, be gone, before someone drops a house on you.
