Michele Bachmann: Obama ‘Insulted’ Congress By Calling It A Political Circus

[RandySF]

You can say what you want about Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) — but she won’t stand for anyone talking smack about her legislative body.

Bachmann gave an unsanctioned rebuttal to President Obama’s job speech in a Capitol Hill TV studio Thursday night in which she dismissed the address as so much warmed-over Obama rhetoric with little or no chance of success. She called it “just a retread of everything he’s put forward before that’s failed.”

But what really grinds her gears was what she called his blatant “insulting of Members of Congress” that came “almost right out of the gate” in his speech.

[Lionessa]

8. Michele, if you don't want it to be fact, quit being the ring leader of the circus folk.

Or better yet, lead them to DO something rather than clowning around.

[Supply Side Jesus]

9. Circuses offended after being compared to congress

:blush:

[Amonester]

11. Well, when it quacks like...

:rofl:

[saras]

12. No, he insulted something else entirely - circuses

He insulted the centuries-long tradition that dictates that a circus be spectacular and entertaining, and present any abuse of animals as gracefully and theatrically as possible. Congress, by comparison, is more like an Andy Warhol movie.

13. Obama insulted a political circus by calling it Congress.

Congress is full of right wing, insane, egomaniacs. MB is a perfect example. They are not stupid or clowns and know exactly how fucking wrong they act.

[MADem]

14. Well, she just embraced irrelevancy with that remark! Talk about tone deaf!

Even the wingnuts can get behind the "do-nothing Congress" theme.

[Cass]

15. Oh, I see...republicans can insult the President all day, every day but if he calls them on their

bullshit, that's a different story. She needs to just get over herself already.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

16. everything that happens inside the beltway is political circus

all of it is...gov't hasn't been of, by or for the people for at least 50 years...

19. Says the woman with the clown nose and squeeze horn. n/t

[Douglas Carpenter]

20. she's right. He should apologize

:crazy:

[Tennessee Gal]

21. The shoe fits.

Too bad for you crybaby.

[City Lights]

23. That's too funny! Just the other day I called my bagger and demanded to get

off his robo call list. "Circus clown" is the term I used to describe him.

Was she insulted when the former veep told Senator Leahy to go fuck himself on the floor of the Senate? Doubt it. She prolly cheered when she heard what the dick of death did.

[Cosmocat]

24. Sure, cause saying congress is "anti-american" is a compliment ...

R pathology - indignation is a reflexive response, actual "insult" to be inserted ...

[HappyMe]

25. Circuses are entertaining and fun.

Congress is chock full of evil, pissy obstructionists.

Her 15 minutes are over.

[tanyev]

26. This the same Congress that's not listening to God so he sent an earthquake and a hurricane?

Whatever, dingbat.

[lapislzi]

27. And she's Buttons the Clown n/t

[A wise Man]

28. Nit picking words without understanding them

that's her in a NUTSHELL. A BATSHIT CRAZY politician....BIGGOTED....RACIST..IGNORANT.....DISGUSTING EXCUSE FOR A WOMAN....HYPOCRITE....VIRTUELESS SPECIES OF HUMAN EXCREMENTS.
