1. K & R, so true.

As someone said in the YouTube comments, she's the female version of Glenn Beck. If I lived in MN, I'd be incredibly embarrassed.

PS---Speaking of pride, I'm proud of Cenk for getting last night for breaking this story:

(About 150,000 views at HuffPo alone).

[MineralMan]

6. I live in MN, and I'm not embarrassed.

She's not from my congressional district. She's someone else's cretin.

[ihavenobias]

7. Are the people in her district insane and or insanely uninformed?

And she's a national embarrassment IMO.

:)

[MineralMan]

8. Her district is one of the most GOP-oriented in the state.

And yet, she almost lost the election. She won't win the next one, I guarandamntee. Her moranity exceeds her popularity.

[ProfessorGAC]

33. Let's Hope You're Right

She doesn't deserve to be paid taxpayer money.

[Peacetrain]

42. I can believe that!!!!

You go Minnesota, and send Bachmann packing at the next election. Minnesota is too awesome a state, to keep in office someone so goofy. We have our own nut job here in Iowa.. Steve King. How these people keep getting in office is beyond me. I swear someone is fixing these elections

[sellitman]

29. She is a National Treasure.

She is the gift that keeps on giving.

Countless Democrats will be registering after listening to her rantings.

We need more Michelle Bachmanns!

[Somawas]

18. I'm so glad they elected her and hope they will continue to do so.

Please! I mean, we can't win every seat. And if we have Republicans, we ought to be able to get some laughs out of them.

Besides, she's the PERFECT running mate for my second favorite Republican-Sarah Palin!

Palin-Bachmann 2012. I'm behind them!

[mnmoderatedem]

37. me too

yet I'm STILL embarassed... :eyes:

[Lucky Luciano]

25. I get really irritated - and quite frankly OUTRAGED when people criticize Bachmann

and make jokes about her intelligence. I always thought that DU would be a place that would be sensitive to the needs of people with disabilities. Bachmann is clearly mentally retarded, and as such, we should really tone down the abrasive comments and be more understanding of her situation and disability.














:sarcasm: <---- For the sarcasm disabled!

[hobbit709]

2. Ignorance is the only thing she's got

So she has to be proud of it.

[opihimoimoi]

3. A prime example of why we need a National Program to reduce IGNORANCE in our Leadership

This woman embarrasses her constituants no end....a waste of tax dollars....she is wasting time and efforts toward healing the Nation

[Hulk]

4. HELLO!!!.....MINNESOTA REPUBLICANS!!!!! Are you out there???

Do YOURSELF a favor. Defeat this ignorant slut in the primaries. THEN, you can all vote repuke and you won't look quite as brain dead. Sending this dumb bitch to Washington on YOUR behalf only verifies that YOU are a bunch of lame, brain dead, non-caring buffoons.

Wake up you dumb shits!

My favorite is when this dumb slut hung a big lipper on the dumb-ass at the State of the Union address. God, is she f*cked in the head!! Who does that?...but bachmann. Sad...just sad!

[FiveGoodMen]

10. Oh, the MN republicans are 'out there' all right!

While it goes without saying that not all of us in Minnesota are as dumb as Bachmann or her supporters, I fully endorse and applaud the lambasting of the entire state until the 6th district is either embarrassed into picking a better rep, or until the rest of the state revolts and declares that they don't belong to us at all.

[Wetzelbill]

5. K and R

[Seldona]

9. I don't think she can claim ignorance.

She has no reasonable explanation, given the circumstances, to catapult the propaganda simply so her and her party can regain power. No, she has entered the realm of stupidity. She knows what she is saying is bs, like the water-carrier Limbaugh.

If that isn't evil, I don't know what is.

[OhioChick]

11. K&R

:kick:

[RufusTFirefly]

12. Perhaps she's designed to make Sarah Palin look good?

Think about what a wonderful effect Dubya has had on previous presidents.

Even the late Kurt Vonnegut, punch drunk as we all were (and continue to be) by the Dim Son, was quoted as saying "Honestly, I wish Nixon were president."

[immoderate]

13. "She makes Sarah Palin look smart"

This is an achievement. :rofl:

[90-percent]

14. WTF?

Does she think this is 2003, the apogee of the Bush Iron Curtain, and something this imbecilic would actually get some resonance in the right wing media echo chamber?

It might be worse if she argued for legalizing slavery by race again.

Or FDR would have served America better if he had been assassinated by plots of the monied elite of the thirties. Damn you, Smedley Butler!

I guess it could be worse?

There might really be such a thing as bad publicity. And this would be it.

But not nearly as entertaining and delicious as Dick Cheney's bold traitorous media pronouncements. Is there any place on the internet one could go to encourage Dick to get more aggressive in his PR tour? Dick - in these desperate times, we need heros like you back in MSM. The View, Oprah, Leno, Letterman, Obrian, Handler, Stewert, Colbert, Fallon, Fergeson, Rock, Kimmel, King, Mahr, McHale, Daly, Philbin, O'Reilly, and so on, REALLY WANT YOUR APPEARANCE ON THEIR SHOWS!

15. Cenk on Rachel?

Damn, I feel asleep in the first couple of minutes and missed it.

Good thing I dvr every night of Keith and Rachel, huh?

It's nice Rachel is so internet savvy and also I think the country would be well served by having Cenk in a nice place in MSM. A Rachel and/or Keith recurring segment, like Richard Wolfe and Howard Fineman and John Dean and Anna Marie Cox?

I like Cenk. I'm just maxed out on the 2 liberal addiction hours a night. I'm so spoiled if there gets to be 12 hours a night of liberal MSM I'll be forced to make some difficult choices.

[ihavenobias]

20. No, he wasn't on the show, she just gave him credit for breaking the story.

Per my link in the first comment, he obtained and showed the video two nights ago, then wrote an explosively popular story about it for Huffington Post (that spread all over).

PS---You know you can download the first hour of TYT free through Itunes? I'm a member, so I pay $10 a month and get access to all of the podcasts and the uncensored third hour and post game show. It ends up being 14+ hours of content a week (for $2.50), which is damn good value.

[damntexdem]

16. Hey, what else does she have to BE proud about?

[20score]

17. I hope to hell she not voted out in 2010. She's the gift that just keeps giving.

In time she could become part of the lexicon. "Did he pull a Bachmann?"

[pleah]

19. She is the poster child for why we need (desperately) to improve our schools.

:crazy:

K&R

[bcool]

21. She's not dumb, she's following the Fox News playbook

Hey, maybe she knows exactly what she's doing....remember how Fox puts a (D) after Republican's names when they're accused/convicted of a crime, or when they do something stupid?

Maybe she intentionally blames Democrats for all the things she was talking about, because all the brain-dead people who think she's wonderful will lap it up and actually accept it as gospel.

Remember, if you repeat a lie often enough, people will think it's the truth...

[BlancheSplanchnik]

38. question for you

little bit off topic, but... was that a one-time thing with Pox putting a D after a repuke's name? Or is it a pattern with them?

Verrrry curious!

[axollot]

47. I think it's been done at the very least twice- the Sen from..

..Florida that was busted in the bathroom (name escapes me, forgive me I'm tired atm) and I could be wrong but I believe Faux did it again recently. (and possibly more but pretty confident it's more than once).

Cheers
Sandy

I wonder if regionally it's more common too, local affiliates :shrug:

[BlancheSplanchnik]

49. I dream of a day when those propaganda pushers

get pushed right off the radar. Publicly shunned. There should be sanctions against abusers of the airwaves!

Thanks, Sandy :hi:

[axollot]

46. That may be true but even football coaches try to switch the game up when..

...plays don't work. Sure, it's typical of the GOP playbook and it's stopped working - she's obviously to stupid to realize that old GOP style, works with about 25% ish in this country and to keep a seat, maybe you should appeal to more than just 'them'........

Cheers
Sandy

[Dumak]

22. Even at the local, city-government level

she was very difficult to work with and seemed in way over her head. I don't understand why Republicans can be so attracted to such stupidity.

[Kajsa]

23. Aren't many of them?

Why else would they flaunt it?

:kick: and R.

[sammythecat]

24. Incredible.

Every single thing she said was just plain wrong.

We've got more than 300 million people in this country. A measly 435 representing us in Congress and SHE'S one of them. That should be unbelievable, but it's not, unfortunately.

[beyurslf]

26. Can we make her a lifetime member.... just for laughs. Where would we ever

find someone so stupid to replace her? Bachmann for president! :)

[cooolandrew]

27. FDR served a pretty danr long time is she considers him unpopular. Maybe she needs to rethink that.

[cooolandrew]

28. Full respect to MN for electing Franken but they can do better than Bachmann I'm sure.>

I mean folks all pay their taxes whether it be Republican or Democrat people want their dollars to go to someone good at their job. GOP voters you can raise your standards at least if any out their lurking. Our side elected president Obama we may not all agree on his policy but we can at least say he's the smartest guy in the room in charge of all the facts. That's the route to go when voting either side whatever the gender of the elected official is inconsequential just competant.

[suzanner]

30. Her district...

is certifiably entrenched Limbots. But I heard from a caller on air america that Michelle gets her information supplied to her from a local Republican (so-called) 'think' tank organization with a title like Committee for the Conservative Experience or some such noble sounding phrase to cover the dim-witted people in it. She likely knows that her information is false, according to this caller, but also knows that her constituents will not know it and believe whatever story she gives them anyway. Look up 'Stearns County Syndrome' which is the upper end of her gerrymandered district. It is a pocket of town and country hillbillies- some with golf clubs, but most with DUI's in their past and future.

[TankLV]

45. No - you're wrong - it was a repuke TINK THANK...

big difference...

I wish people would get their arguments straight...

maybe we should consult with 2M4M and similar sites....

[jgraz]

31. OF course she is. It helps mask her stupidity.

[Divine Discontent]

32. K&R! eom

[Enthusiast]

34. K&R! The GOP,

they celebrate ignorance!

[olegramps]

35. Only in America.

[rpannier]

36. Don't bet on it

I live in Asia - Korea

Korean, Japanese and Taiwanese politicians aren't any better.
And yes -- the crooked and stupid ones seem to find a way to get re-elected

40. Something I picked up on that everyone else is missing..

She is going on and on about how great everything was in the "roaring 20s" then the Smoot-Halley act was signed sending the recession into a full blown depression. Well if things were all that great would we have been in a recession?.

[subterranean]

41. He didn't even mention her mistake about Coolidge.

The president in the early twenties who inherited a recession and reduced taxes and regulations was Warren G. Harding, not Calvin Coolidge.

[rhett o rick]

43. Bachmann = republiCon

[Zambero]

44. What else is there?

Bachmann's warped views and damn-the-facts take on issues of reality reflects a sizeable percentage of her constituency. One can only hope that her slim 2008 margin of victory represents a trend toward eventual defeat, the sooner the better!

[johnnyrocket]

48. "She makes Sarah Palin look smart!" Bwahaha, that's funny.
