Bachmann fills vacuum, announces rebuttal to Obama jobs speech

[brooklynite]

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), struggling to maintain visibility as a Republican presidential candidate, will rebut President Obama's jobs speech to Congress on Thursday, her congressional office said.

Bachmann's remarks are scheduled for 8:30 p.m. in a House television studio, but will be timed to follow Obama, who is expected to propose about $300 billion in measures to bolster hiring in what the administration has dubbed the "American Jobs Act."

There is no formal Republican response to Obama's speech, a void Bachmann appears poised to fill as she works to keep her name in the national discussion.

So, if you're Speaker Boehner, do you ignore her as a nut, or do you rush to find someone for an official response in case people assume the nut is speaking for the entire GOP?

1. Just comedic...

A rebuttal from a person who does not even know how the oil industry works or even Government that matter.

2. I hope she does a repeat performance of the SOTU repsonse ...

That lost, "which camera is on" schtick was great performance art.

3. Filling a vacuum with another vacuum

namely the one between her ears.

Somehow, I doubt Boner much cares any more. He's been attacked from within his party for so long that I imagine he's just as happy to turn the whole thing over to the "popular" nutbags.

6. Ya beat me to it!

If one vacuum seeks to eliminate another - does that mean there's twice as much "suck" involved??? Maybe it's more a particle physicists conundrum. One where anti-matter meets don't matter! ::nuke:

4. based on the title of the article I thought that Bachmann was having

some medical procedure to create an opening in her skull so that liquid could be poured into her brain cavity.

10. I wondered why she was announcing while doing her housecleaning :)

5. Bachmann fills vacuum... How do you fill a vacuum with a vacuum?

Wow, Obama's strategy is finally becoming clear.

7. The only way Bachmann could fill a vacuum would be were she to ...

shove the vacuum hose into her mouth.

Although most vacuums aren't built to handle such filth. ;-)

9. "Mega Maid has gone from Suck to Blow!"

11. That actually might be fun to watch. Should produce a crazy / historically wrong nugget or three.

12. Leaked-Palin rebuttle to consist of one flashlight if approves, two if disapproves of Obama speech.

13. When the going gets stoopid......

The stoopid get going.

14. Ha! ha! ha!

15. I call horseshit!

"(S)truggling to maintain visibility..."


Cain
Santorum
Gingrich
Paul
Huntsman
...etc...

Why not note those struggles first?

:think:

16. She's 'Toast'... an act of desperation...

... and I think that the GOP pooh-bahs wishes that she'd just go away.

17. For some reason, I just thought of "Sunset Blvd".

Bachmann needs to make her entrance coming down a long flight of steps....
