2. You could almost read their minds as they
were answering her: "Why am I wasting my time answering questions from this dumbass?"

6. I would like to kindly request that the woman grandstanding to please shut the F__ up. Thank you.

For a moment, I thought she was challenging them about her constitutional question. After they answered her question, and there was no "gotcha" moment, it became clear that it was simply her curiosity and she was just asking because she has never actually read the constitution.

7. Who elected her? Is there a large contingent of freepers in her district?
What provision in the Constitution give a dunce the right to be a congress critter? I think it is the same one giving the Treasury Secretary the right to do what Congress gives him the right to do.

Where was the concern about the constitution when Bush and Cheney violated it?

8. "...michelle, you ignorant slut!"
I'm afraid there are some very repug/fox network morons in MN. Yes, she won re-election. What a smudge on the reputation of progressive Minnesotans. This dumb bitch is a disgrace to all women...especially those who are making their way into politics.

This is the same f*cking moron that hung a big lipper on george jr. as he left the halls of Congress to address the state of the union a few years back. she is nuts. A disgrace to the state and certainly to her constituents.

9. She obviously hasn't read the Constitution ...
Has never heard of the "power of the purse" granted to
Congress (and theirs to delegate).

Bachmann has taken on the mantle of ex-Rep. Katharine
Harris: "BATSHIT CRAZY CONGRESSWOMAN."

12. She has a JD degree from Oral Roberts
That school should revoke the degree or risk losing accreditation.
It sounds more like she got it from Anal Roberts.

15. I don't think the law school was accredited LOL
That law school closed and went to Pat Robert's university in Virginia.

And it turned out quite a number of graduates hired by the Bush Administration, including the Goodling person who didn't have a clue that she was too inexperienced to be expressing views on who should be a US Attorney. Here's a general write up:

14. Bachmann is absolutely brilliant....
Edited on Tue Mar-24-09 03:33 PM by vinylsolution
We couldn't wish for a better run-up to 2012. Move over, jackass Jindal.... your 15 minutes is already up.

If there's someone out there setting up a Palin / Bachmann 2012 campaign committee, we should all donate to it.

16. Geithner's IQ minus Bernanke's IQ = Bachmann's IQ, and I am rounding up.
They had to go all remedial on her ass.
