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!?!

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.

Oh South Carolina, Look What You've Done.....

In the interests of fairness, I actually know one of these wingnuts. Well, 'know' may be a bit strong. I've spoken to him, once, way back in the fall of 2008, just before the election. He was sitting in a bar ranting about Obama and how much he didn't like him, and I thought, "Okay, he's a Republican asshat."

Then he added to his diatribe when he said, out loud, for all to hear, "If Obama gets elected there'll be no living with those people. You know they'll be dancing in the streets because they love to dance."

To which I replied, "Oooooh, me too!"

:::crickets:::

Now, I don't want to point him out, but let's just say he wants to vote for Duh-Duh-Donald Trump.

Also, watch as Bachmann spouts her drivel, and the American flag tips over and all those patriots rush to pick it up off the ground....not. Even Bachmann pays no attention to Old Glory hittin' the pavement.

Last, but not least, the guy who says we spend too much money on edu-mah-cation. Did he not listen to a single one of these illiterate fucktards? So, without further ado, I give you the Teabaggers, mouths filled to the rim with Donald Trump's hairy balls, of South Carolina:
