Maybe we ought to start sending old RAM plates to this ass so she can implant them in her head

Oh Bachman-Turner-Underdrive, it was the SMOOT-HAWLEY tariff signed into law by HERBERT HOOVER

[dalaigh lllama]

1. She seems particularly adept at getting everything bass-ackwards

[NewJeffCT]

2. Every day, her idiocy keeps topping itself

I keep thinking it can't get any worse, but she keeps proving me wrong.

[Thrill]

3. Shes a fool. I think that is the second time this week. She has gotten her histroy assbackwards

[Joe Bacon]

4. She IS Exhibit "A" for writing the Recall into the Constitution!

Just when you think this jerk cannot get any "Ass Holey-er", she does.

[monmouth]

5. See, I think there is a "DU plant" in her little group who is intentionally

feeding her all of this stuff. Whoever it is, brava!!

[Turbineguy]

6. Maybe she

has mad cow disease.

[tclambert]

7. Wow. That's a week's worth of stupid in 60 seconds.

Anybody who voted for her owes everybody else an apology.

[StarTurtle]

8. Since when was Coolidge the president in the early Twenties?

There was a recession from 1921 to 1923, but Harding was president, not Coolidge.

Incidentally, I think it's time to revise the popular opinion of Harding upwards. On their worst day, he and his cronies still can't be compared with BushCo.

[tclambert]

10. When is her history book coming out?

I wait with baited breath (swallowed a minnow) for "The True History of America According to Michelle Bachman." In the previous chapter we learned that she blames President Obama for the current outbreak of swine flu, which apparently started in Mexico, and blames Jimmy Carter for the outbreak of swine flu that occurred in 1976 (during Gerald Ford's administration). In some ways she's funnier than George Carlin, who, being dead, isn't very funny anymore.

She reminds me of that retarded guy who was President for awhile. Remember that? Boy, was that funny! Seriously, we should stop electing retarded people. Please. You can tell the retarded candidates 'cause they put an (R) next to their name.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

13. I don't see that Harding moves up...

...just because BushCo set a new low. Yes, he's farther from the bottom, but only because the pit got deeper.

[StarTurtle]

18. Harding did at least one huge excellent thing.

He began the re-desegregation of the federal government, to which Woodrow Wilson and some of his appointees had reintroduced Jim Crow. He wasn't the best or the brightest, but he deserves to be more than a punchline -- unlike, say, Michele Bachmann.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

27. Actually I just realized-

I had a small brain fart and confused Harding with Coolidge (AKA the guy who showed us in the 1920's that Reaganomics doesn't work)

[Liberal_Christian]

36. Not to mention it was HOOVER (republican) that turned the recession into a depression NOT FDR

I like how people like Bachman will discredit the New Deal but give every ounce of credit to WW2. Even though they both did the same thing; increase massive government spending and create jobs.

We entered WW2 in 41 but we saw unemployment drop since the early 30's because of the New Deal.

History (along with the industrialized world) proves their failed ideology wrong in every way, ere-go, you have talking heads like Bachman blatantly lie about it. I hate talking shit about how naive their voting base is but it's frustrating when you know all these people would have to do is open a history book to realize the politicians representing them are completely full of shit.

Oh and Sen. Reed SMOOT of Utah and Rep. Willis HAWLEY of Oregon were REPUBLICANS!!!!!, and the bill was signed into law by President HERBERT HOOVER!!!!!!

God. Bachman is either completely out of touch or just a shameless manipulator.

[dmr]

39. You can rest easy, Glen Beck's teaching history to his viewers

This was one of the lessons this week:

Learning about black history and the comparison of the Dred Scott case to Roe v. Wade - which is basically why we have abortions now; and how the government or the progressives will determine what group of persons aren't worthy of the protection of the law - as in abortions or eugenics. I also learned earlier in the show that progressives promoted and practiced eugenics. And of course who's next on our government or progressive list to knock off ...

Facts are not required, they only cloud the lunacy.

Now that Obama's in the WH, I can tune in and laugh; but I have fun watching my son watching it.

:crazy:

Hmmm, maybe Bachman is attending Fox University, you know, FU.

[Liberal_Christian]

42. "I can tune in and laugh"

I would as well but when I think of those that take his word over every piece of written academic/scholarly literature I just get nauseous. They inadvertently contributed to these shootings we keep hearing about; I'm sorry if I seem "fanatical" but they have blood on their hands.

[frazzled]

9. She thought Stuart Smalley (Al Franken) was a hoot

Clearly, she has Senator Franken on her mind, which is why she made the Freudian slip "Hoot Smalley"

[stlsaxman]

19. dammit- you beat me to it! well done!

possibly she was just reading "Daily Affirmations" by Stuart Smalley prior to hitting the floor of the House.

[L0oniX]

11. Gawd ...she is by far the most stupid person to ever be in congress.

Check out another video of her making a asscarrot out of herself here...

[safeinOhio]

12. She has just bumped the BOSS

off for GOP leader.

[edc]

14. Puttin' this silly woman aside,

her political party has always believed that the people who caused the Great Depression were those best suited to fix it when it became profitable for them to do so. They have also steadfastly claimed that Social Security, public education, organized labor, child labor laws, the Marshall Plan, the G.I Bill, and universal health care among others, were just a conspiracy to reward unwashed slackers and defeated foes so they'd vote for the Democrats or compete against Wall Street economically.

They still hold that the lazy working classes would better serve their capitalist masters sweating 12 hour days, 6 days a week for just enough to put food on the table. And since Americans won't do it anymore, by golly gee, they've gone and found poor foreigners who will.

[RufusTFirefly]

15. Someone really needs to put together a Best of Bachmann CD

This lady is a piece of work.

[bulloney]

25. We can call the CD "Bachmann Turnoff Overdrive"

[Postman]

16. Wonder what she thinks of the Stass-Gleagall Act.....

Minnesota should be ashamed.

[Hardrada]

17. Or Haft-TARTley which Nichard Rixon helped write.

[stlsaxman]

20. Oh- she's DEFINITELY "Half-Tarded"!

at least half!

[Hardrada]

22. No question of that!

[izquierdista]

26. You mean Half-Fartedly

[Liberal_Christian]

37. She most likely hates it- seeing is that Glass-Steagal was a product of LEARNING FROM HISTORY

Which is why REPUBLICANS lay claim to the Graham Leach Bliley Act and the Modernization Act of 1999 (Clinton really dropped the ball on that one). They take every lesson learned from history and undo it; or just completely lie about that lesson ever taking place.

21. Michelle Bachmann: The Gift Who Keeps on Giving!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Joe Bacon]

23. Yeah, she's a real BOOBY PRIZE!

:rofl:

[underpants]

29. Show us your Hoots!!!

:bounce:

[bulloney]

24. The fact that Boehner & Co. don't take her aside and tell her to STFU until her facts are straight

says a lot about the House Republican leadership.

She's made some of the most boneheaded comments in the past two days: The swine flu vaccine of the 1970s was authorized under Gerald Ford. Now this? Coolidge was president in the early 20s? I think it was Harding. Smoot Hawley was passed under Roosevelt? You missed that by almost four years, Bachmann.

With internet, YouTube and other video technology, the Republicans dig themselves a little deeper in their graves every time that idiot opens her mouth.

Who's feeding her this bullshit? This isn't some subjective debate. She's just plain getting facts wrong. You'd think a little research by her or her staff would be standard operating procedure, but apparently, they just let her run her mouth off and assume there are enough mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging idiots out there who will keep her in power.

[BobTheSubgenius]

28. We can't be sure that he hasn't....

...and perhaps this is the very best she can do.

Bless her heart.

[TankLV]

30. Well - ain't she a Hoot!

God
Fucking
Stupid

[FlyByNight]

31. Just when you thought, "Could she be any dumber?"

Wow. Does she not know about Wikipedia, Google, Yahoo, etc.?

Fucking. Moron.

:wtf:

[jgraz]

32. Can we now start calling her Bichelle Machman?

[Triana]

33. If a Democrat said anything NEAR this insanely stupid...

..it'd be all over the front pages and on the networks nonstop for a MONTH.

But since she's a Repube - she gets a free pass from the lame$tream et al on her blazing stupidity.

[struggle4progress]

34. Maybe we can interest her in balloon-powered lawnchair travel

[LSK]

35. Palin/Bachman 2012

:patriot:

[Jack Rabbit]

38. If Michele were my congresscritter . . .

. . . I'd be wearing a paper bag over my head tonight.

[izquierdista]

40. Forget it, she's on a roll
