Michelle Bachmann mistakenly uses pro gay rights song to make her entrance at rally.

[sufrommich]

Shades of Ronald Reagan not understanding that "Born In The U.S.A." was not right wing sloganeering.


"Firework," Katy Perry's ode to tolerance, acceptance, and pyrotechnic undergarments, is probably not a song you'd associate with Michele Bachmann. But over the weekend Bachmann entered the RightOnline conference in Minneapolis to the tune, probably mistaking it for a patriotic jam much the way Reagan did with "Born in the USA."

1. Or someone punked her. nt

6. Hmmm, hadn't thought of that. nt

11. That's what I thought if my understanding of punk syncs yours. I hope someone on

her staff set it up.

I heard the story of her hiding behind bushes and I saw the other event where she is tucked down (kneeling or something) behind a semi-short landscaping wall. Her staff remained standing - looking down at her.

Has anyone given us more laughs than she has?

Bush made me cringe.

She makes me laugh - she is delightfully and ignorantly funny!!!!

Has she ever been on the Colbert Show?

14. Ed Rollins?

2. There's one thing Republicans can't buy with all their money.

A clue.

3. Love that song

Frau Bachkman is the antithesis of that song.

4. Confused

And dazed. Often wrong. Goes off on things she doesn't understand or gets wrong. For months. Idiot.

5. At one rally for her, Romney came on to Fogerty's 'Fortunate Son'

Apart from patriotic country songs, they never seem to have a clue--and the result often is loaded with irony.

9. lol. "Some folks are born silver spoon in hand".

[Zoeisright]

7. God, repukes are fucking stupid.

And I'm sure she didn't get permission to use the song, because those repukes think everything belongs to them.

[Joe the Revelator]

8. She's such a twit....Katy Perry should ask her to cease and desist.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

10. Hopefully, they'll continue using inappropriate music, and the kids will notice how stupid they are

Because at the heart of it, Repukes are not only evil. They're also stupid.

12. *snicker*

[Blue Owl]

13. is Michelle "hiding behind the bush?"

Hmmm, something very Freudian going on...

[moondust]

15. So Reagan was apparently the first birther.

Did not know that.
