" expects to someday fact check a Bachmann statement that turns out to be true."

[underpants]

But independent fact checkers find that the information she relies on is often exaggerated, misleading or wrong. PolitiFact, a Pulitzer Prize-winning feature of the St. Petersburg Times that checks whether statements made by politicians are true, has repeatedly determined that Bachmann's claim don't ring true.

"We have checked her 13 times, and seven of her claims to be false and six have been found to be ridiculously false," PolitiFact editor Bill Adair said.

Adair said no politician has been checked as often as Bachmann without saying at least something that's true.


But that claim is a stretch, said Larry Levitt, vice president of the Kaiser Family Foundation, which studies health care issues. Levitt said health care premiums have increased, but it has nothing to do with the new health care law. He said the new law has had a very modest effect on the cost of coverage.

This lays out her lies about healthcare premiums increasing, illegal aliens getting insurance coverage, and the math on costs

3. "Every word that comes out of her mouth, including "a", "and" and "the"."

Not quite sure of the original quote (probably Samuel Clemens), but the more things change....

4. She won.. 159,000 people...

in her district voted for her. 52% of the vote. Her nearest rival got 40%.

I know she's batshitcrazy, but her district must be comprised - mostly - of fucking loons!

Is there something in the water there? LSD perhaps?

5. Nope her district is badly gerrymandered from republican tampering with district

lines, like Delay did with districts in Texas.
