Michelle Bachman - congressional embarassment

[Red Arrow]

She says dumb things because she is profoundly stupid.

I am not a Bachmann fan.  I do fall short of calling her "profoundly stupid" but she does have some ideas that lead one to believe that she is.

Saying things he believes.

Sometimes a thought can be both not stupid and inelegantly expressed, to use Romney's term. I'm sure he believes some dumb stuff--most all of us do whether we know it or not--but the gaffe-a-minute videos don't really show that.

Love how Gweed trots out a four year old video of gaffes by our VP.

Romney's gaffes make Biden look like a rank amateur.

At least he trots out something he actually said.   Hey I agree Michelle Bachmann is an idiot.  But this is something The Onion would pull off.

She outdoes Biden by far.  And that is going some, 'cause Biden is kind of a dipstick.

I guess I could have just trotted out some damned satire, that's better; right?

funny thing is, alot of the stuff the far right does, people don't know if it's satire or not.  Pretty sad, isn't it?

Even if it is 4 years old, it is still funny.


Sadly, disparaging 47% of the work force of the US isn't all that funny.  Else, Romney could be entertaining, too.

And pissing off our best ally - in  the  world  - isn't really very funny either.  Well, I guess Romney can't be funny.  Before he was lobotomized by the extreme right, he at least was lucid.  I had great hopes for him, thinking we might just get another John McCain, but alas, it was not to be....

A fair amount of the people Romney was characterizing are not part of the workforce, but rather the moocher class.

Campaigner In Chief isn't doing such a great job with Israel lately either.

If you want to criticize Grandpa because he quit working at 67, go right ahead. Somewhat less than 10% of people never work a day in their lives. Most of those people are, perish the thought, homemakers whose job is to stay home and raise the kids. Again, feel free to criticize if you want, just know who you're talking about.

See there you go again, those damn mooching, parasitic housewives...

Ol' JOe forgets who was president that last four years...

No matter what you post about Biden, Bachman will always be the scarier of the two.

This.

How creepy are your eyes on a scale of 1 to Michelle Bachmann?

There's worse:

I kind of went through this before - and no, he was not talking about welfare people who don't work at all, he was talking about people who don't make enough to pay income tax on their income.  And retired and disabled people.  The 47% he was talking about are people who go to work, contribute to this society in proportion greater than the substandard pay they receive for that contribution, and are ONE HALF of the American people.  Doesn't even get to the "moocher housewives"....

What Mitt and the other 3rd basers refuse to admit or acknowledge is that those 47 percents form a massive part of the background of this economy.  If they weren't doing those jobs for that substandard pay, he certainly wouldn't be enjoying the benefits of being born to privilege to the extent he does today.

I will submit again - and I am gonna raise it a notch - there is NO real job in this country that is worth pay of less than $12 per hour.  (I used to say 10, but inflation has caught up.)  IF some whiner of a boss thinks that he just can't make it without paying 5 or 6 or 7 bucks an hour, he proves himself to be incompetent in managing that endeavor by requiring work that is only worth that substandard pay.  He is responsible for being the direction and as such, is responsible to see that work done is worth doing.  By definition.

If it's only worth 6 bucks an hour - it should not be done.  Use some imagination, leverage, productivity enhancer, better tools, more training or whatever it takes to make the work worth a living wage.
