Dems in power during flu, Bachmann notes

[JonLP24]

It was only a matter of time before the CDC discovered an outbreak of Michele Bachmann quotes.

Bachmann, speaking on Pajamas TV, noted: "I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under another Democrat president Jimmy Carter. And I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it's an interesting coincidence."

The 1976 swine flu scare happened on Gerald Ford's watch.

We checked Wikipedia.

Ford was a Republican.

5. Have to wonder if she's naturally that ignorant or

she has to work at it. Either way she's a big ole bag of hair.

15. I've met her

She's my rep .

She is much more ignorant than that, but it is the type of willful ignorance that is wonderfully received in the evangelical churched up suburbs that her district gerrymanders through.

It the part of the county that reads she is not so popular.

18. My condolences.

I'm surprised she didn't try to blame Bill Clinton.

19. I'm almost hoping that the 2010 census costs us a rep.

Because it HAS to be the 6th to go. It touches the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 7th and 8th.

6. It must be so easy to be a politician

when you can just make up complete bullshit and not have the media call you on it.

8. Tam'ron Hall mentioned it, even the fact Ford was in charge.

She is an MSNBC anchor that I have a crush on. Watching her on MSNBC in the mornings always makes my day.

[NeedleCast]

10. That gives me a little hope at least

[Blackhatjack]

7. In Wingnut Land she is never wrong.... facts are just another reality they either create or ignore

[no_hypocrisy]

9. Is this her response to Bush was in the WH during 9/11/01?

[eleny]

11. She's made Ed Schultz's "Psycho Talk" segment her very own special niche

[azmouse]

12. Her mouth must be full up with feet by now.

How does she even managed to speak at all?

[seabeyond]

13. it isnt that an event happens during a presidency, it is how the event is handled.

dumbshit

14. Gasp! Was there a PDB titled "Swine Flu Determined to Attack in US"??

I bet there was! And Obama ignored it! He probably said, upon reading it, "Ok, you've covered your ass now"

I betcha!

[Marr]

16. I think she's imbalanced.

I'm sorry but that's an "observation" only a nut could make.

17. It snowed while Democrats were in power Michelle Bachmann notes

"In a stunning report today Rep Michelle Bachmann(R-Loonyville) announced that the commie socialist Democrats are 100% wrong on Global Warming and she has a camera full of proof. While I was on vacation in Aspen this weekend I actually saw SNOW! Look at these pictures, snow everywhere! How could it snow? I thought all that natural carbon dioxide was warming the planet. You do know it can't snow when it's warm right? This is just another lie the Democrats are using to steal money from the hard working rich people of America. Next they'll be putting us in "global warming re-education camps".

Asked to comment on his colleague's comments, Bernie Sanders had this to say: " Batshit crazy".
