Michele Bachmann dumber than Sarah Palin?
Not quite, but wow, no slavery since Washington?
Says there was no slavery by the time Republicans came along. Our founding fathers did away with slavery. Weed College?
Does anyone remember the Chineese exclusion act?. How about the Irish boycott- Irish need not apply signs on windows of hiring companies. And who sat in the back of the bus up until the civil war and thereafter. Yeah we need a future President who knows less about our history than I do...

I would say it is a really close race between the sheer ignorance that they display. She spoke about how America was unique in that people regardless of race, gender, or SES were always equal since the founding.

It is tough to decide which of them is less intelligent. Bachmann has slightly better command of the language, but her concepts are just as stupid.

She has that special form of mental discipline George Orwell described in 1984 as doublethink- the ability to believe two contradictory thoughts at the same time and believing both of them to be true. E.g. slavery ceased to exist when the United States became a nation but it was the Republican Party that freed the slaves in the United States later in its history.
No wonder right- wingnuts go into fits and lose it all the time. Thinking like that has to drive people crazy.

I'm starting to think that some of these brainless loud mouths figure they'd try their fate while the ecomomy is weak and no one's paying attention while concentrating on trying to keep they're jobs. Or maybe they figure, if all fails I'll get some public support and make a buck. Or maybe they were convinced by a peer who said "go for it, what do you have to loose". I cannot believe they would look within themselves and consciously decide they are qualified or capable of managing the fucking earth. Of course I think I could, but I would make no claims and I would be honest about who I am - Free sex drugs and rock'n roll for everyone! Just kidding honey...

I think her looks play into quiet a bit. Imagine if she looked liked this...

Instead of...

It's not only the message, but who's saying it.

That's why all these right wing fucktards are so scary. They'll vote for someone based on looks thinking that if she gets elected she's gonna personally pay a visit to anyone that voted for her and spread her legs for them.

they had buses back then?

Give her a whip and hi heel boots and star her in a porn flick

Anyone else here drooling over a Palin/Bachmann ticket in 2012? Rawr!

Got to give Anderson Cooper some respect. Its Murrow-esque of him. He has his moments.

Well, they sort of have that MILF thing going- at a distance. Notice that neither is into close- ups that much?
Anyway, listen to them talk for 60 seconds. Better than a cold shower at making Mr. Blinky stand down.

Yes, the Republicans are looking forward to the 2012 erections.

A four year erection cycle must feel like a curse.

Deeply troubling to see people with national followings and who are already elected to Congress or other competitive offices who have a grasp of history, science or even theology that would earn them a solid "F" and a "Come see me after class" comment on a middle school or even elementary school term paper. Whether they are liars or morons or both hardly matters.

At least Palin has a sort or campy feel about her, you just kind of laugh when she speaks or has stuff written on her hand. Bachmann's rhetoric just feels dangerous.

Oh HELL no! I saw clips of her running around during "Health Care Summer" in short sleeves, and she's got some skin wings forming there. I wouldn't be surprised if some of her rage was envy of the first lady's arms.

Wait, you mean you DON'T think we should be holding tribunals to judge the patriotism and appropriate sentence for anyone who doesn't vote Republican?

Was Rush not recentlty chastised for such a slur against the Chinese?

Although probably unqualified, i would think that Bachmann could learn to be an effective teacher. Of second graders. In Texas.

Fuck Beck.
