I've just spent the last 15 minutes listening to Bachmann spew ludicrous batshit on CSPAN

I should be drawing hazard pay for this… The woman is a crazy, lying idiot of the penultimate order.

I swear, if I ever had to listen to her voice screeching from behind a presidential podium, I'll volunteer to have myself put into a chemically induced coma until she's out of the White House.

I'll do this to preserve my own sanity.

You gotta do what you gotta do.

5. I was amused by how the MSM covered
the controversy over her picture in Newsweek. They made her look crazy. They were denigrating her as a female candidate. Riiight. The fact is that no one would have called her crazy-looking if she hadn't been running around saying crazy shit.

8. So why did you listen?
Serious, why?

You could have turned it off or switched channels.

Yes I agree she is nuts..so why put yourself through the aggravation?

11. The media is committed to a close contentious race.
If Bachmann does well they are fully prepared to build her up and take all the crazy seriously. Bachmann, Rick Perry, Herman Cain , Ron Paul are not quite grounded in reality yet media will promote them all at a moments notice. We are in our decline they represent our fall and what it means to become a criminal nation.

14. She woke me out of a sound sleep this morning
I had to turn her off. No way did I want her nonsense finding it's way into my subconscious!

She's on a par with GWB when it comes to people I just can't listen to. And then there's Perry... Santorum... DeMint...

I'm telling you, if the Repubs win the presidency next year, I'm gonna have to .... I don't know... leave... go somewhere where there's little to no media saturation... something... to get myself away from it all and to preserve my sanity.

I listened to Gary Johnson today for a bit... he at least sounds like a reasonable man and is more left than right on the social issues. Maybe he'd be tolerable... not that a reasonable person could ever with a Repub primary. Sigh.

17. I saw Johnson at the Nation Press Club too.
Basically, I thought that he was full of crap. He's got the craziest set of eyes and he sounds just like Ron Paul. with his nut job fiscal solutions, but without the sneer.

Just because he's libertarian on social issues doesn't make him palatable to me at all.

16. Rachel had a nice little segment with a string of her insane comments last night

Only about 30 seconds of insanity and it was the funny kind, Elvis' birthday and Lexington/Concord being in New Hampshire kinda stuff.



Maybe watching this (assuming you missed it) will help cheer you up.
