If you had to take a test where you also got to make up all the questions, would you probably still answer all of them wrong? Yes, you would, if you are lunatic Bible-humper Michele Bachmann. A Politifact.com analysis of 24 "Michele Bachmann statements" showed that 23 of those fell somewhere between stretching the truth and utterly insane. Maybe the 6th dimension is actually just inside Michele Bachmann's mind? In the horror movie trailer of her thoughts, America killed everyone in Libya with a bomb strike Nagasaki-style, the entire U.S. strategic oil reserve is at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico left there by Obama alongside the Newt Gingrich campaign, and the tens of thousands of dollars her family farm received in federal handouts are fictional products of everyone
whenever i hear about michele and her 'children' i ALWAYS wonder about this. as someone who never wanted kids (no offense to all you wonkette breeders - my boy and i just chose not to...) i find it frankly creepy.
then when you add the closeted, anti-gay christian counselor dad... bound to be some nasty stuff buried somewhere.
You betcha Bob Schieffer did! I'd been looking forward to that interview all week. Mr. Schieffer does his homework, and is ready for a public figure's pat answers (remember years ago when he ate Ollie North's lunch before the Super Bowl?).
He's polite, but persistent and knows his stuff.
Unfortunately, What-the-L Michele is too dumb to understand she didn't answer the questions. Additionally, she generally only goes on Fox for infomercials - she's not really ready for a real interview.
I sincerely hope we get to see her debate Mr. Obama. That would be a show worth watching!
Every time I read this I can't stop thinking of this scene in Toy Story 3 (which I've seen way too many times) in which Team Woody meets the daycare toys, and the latter jumps up and down excitedly screaming "New toys!!".
*Michele Bachmann reading* <i>What-the-L Michele just doesn&#039;t care about &quot;facts.&quot; </i> *goes to<strike>Wikipedia</strike> Conservapedia, looks up facts, comments* &quot;I don&#039;t see what the problem is&quot;.
Faux News doesn&#039;t even consider &quot;qualifications&quot; -- they go straight for character asassination. The <i>ad hominems</i> outnumber the ads.
Wrong question. <i>&lsquo;my voice is part of a movement to take back our country.&rsquo; </i> &quot;How far?&rdquo;&quot;
Last Sunday (June 26th) Bob Schieffer on &quot;Face the Nation&quot; asked her about this. He quoted the same article, including the &quot;pants of fire&quot; lies, and then gave as a specific example Ole Crazy Eyes saying the Obama Administration had only issued one permit for oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, when in fact it had issued a couple of hundred.
She blew through that question like a drunken driver through a stop sign.
2.0: Within ten minutes I got downfisted TWICE for this Comment? I would hope a Congressperson would have better things to do than troll Wonkette. No wonder none of her bills ever got passed.
To be fair, the statements Politfact examines aren&#039;t a representative sample of EVERYTHING she says.
Because if it were, the percentage of the time she&#039;s full of crap would probably be WAY higher.
i can&#039;t wait to see michele in a tank.

and so it begins.
good times ahead!

And all the words are spelled correctly, which he finds confusing.
Damn downfister has a sock puppet.

Nobody puts the &quot;moron&quot; in oxymoron quite the way Michele does.

While the former Governor had his faults, I don&#039;t recall such a long series of lies, half-truths, and general mis-statements.
