Michele Bachmann gave Elvis Presley, whose songs she uses at her events, happy birthday wishes today while she was in Spartanburg, S.C.

Unfortunately, today's the 34th anniversary of the day he died.

"Before we get started, let's all say 'Happy Birthday' to Elvis Presley today," Bachmann said. "You can't do better than Elvis Presley."

How many more of these before we can attach 'gaffe prone' to any mention of her in the MSM?

[Oceansaway]

1. isn't senile Ed Rollins her "boss"...nt

[Turbineguy]

2. That's OK

We'll be sending congrats out when she dies too.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. She really needs to get some researchers and other staff people

with IQs that are higher than hers.

But maybe Elvis was actually a serial killer who was born in Waterloo and who started the American Revolution in Concord, New Hampshire, and then worked tirelessly with the other Founding Fathers to eliminate slavery.

[awoke_in_2003]

22. I think he warned the British...

that we had guns and stuff.

[Earth_First]

4. Suffice to say Michelle "Gaffe-mann" yet?! nt

[avaistheone1]

5. LOL

:rofl:

[TlalocW]

6. Sure she didn't mix up Elvises?

Maybe today is Elvis Costello's bday? Were there any Elvis Wayne <last name> serial killers out there?

10. Elvis Costello is Aug 25th so closer than Presley

I will be looking for her camp to say that she meant 'the day Presley was born into Heaven you elitist book-learnin' scum!'

[TlalocW]

14. I'm expecting Elvis' Wikipedia entry to be changed any second now

Any sec now...

TlalocW

[Roland99]

21. Ha!

[geardaddy]

20. lol

Perfect! "born into Heaven"

:rofl:

[NYC Liberal]

31. Unfortunately, it's almost guaranteed they'll actually use that.

Ugh.

[TlalocW]

7. Also, does she have any control over her eyes?

I've seen some more normal pictures of her. Can she concentrate a little bit and turn off the crazy in them before speaking? I really don't want a year and a few months of dealing with those eyes.

TlalocW

[JaneFordA]

13. Maybe the day Elvis died

was the day after her corrective lobotomy. It could explain the son-of-Samantha eyes among other things, I think... ;-)

[hayrow]

8. As outstanding as the picture of her and the corndog is

Nothing is funnier than when she can actually speak and be heard on the record.

Memo to Michele: "Google Can Be Your Friend - Try It Sometime"

[cstanleytech]

9. No, Elvis is not dead

he just went home. Or atleast thats what I overheard K telling J, maybe thats who told Michele.

[Hestia]

16. Actually, he is a vampire named Bubba living in northern Louisiana and he hates to be reminded

of what he was when alive. It explains all the Elvis sightings throughout the years. (for the Sookie fans)

[MineralMan]

11. Michelle. You're not looking photogenic these days.

That's just a terrible photo. Uff da!

[enough]

12. It's starting to get to her. (nt)

[MineralMan]

35. TV is kinder to her than still photography. Lower resolution

smooths things out and softens everyone's appearance. In addition, most TV coverage is longer shots. In still photography the resolution is higher, the lighting is different and everything shows. Plus, still photographers are good at catching moments, even moments when you're looking a little crazy or frazzled. That's what they do.

[qb]

15. Bachmann is, in fact, correct. Just check Wikipedia after her minions are done messing with it.

:sarcasm:

[DallasNE]

17. And This Comes On The Heels Of

Bachmann confusing John Wayne Gacy (the mass murderer) with John Wayne.

[glinda]

32. Can you imagine what she would say to World Leaders if she were President? Yikes!

[MedicalAdmin]

18. Has she had plastic surgery?

That picture looks like Gloria Swanson in Sunset Blvd. "I'm ready for my closeup, Mr. Deville."

[awoke_in_2003]

24. Either she has had a bad...

plastic surgery, or the Holy Ghost is tickling her anus.

[glinda]

33. Pretty sure botox.

[MedicalAdmin]

37. It does have that "just frozen with liquid nitrogen" look, doesn't it? n/t

[kayakjohnny]

19. Is there even one good pic of that woman out there?

One?

Sheesh.

[Plucketeer]

23. Those "Goosed from behind" looks

Wonder if she's wearin' one of those intimate eggs? They even come with remote controllers now. (Damn! No smilie for bug-eyed)

[awoke_in_2003]

25. happy death day to you. nt

[Lugnut]

26. Oy.

Boxes of rocks are smarter than Michele.

[LynneSin]

27. Everytime I think this woman can't get any more stupid she finds a way to do so

I guess it's safe to use Elvis Presley's music since he's dead and can't protest

[Gregorian]

28. PLEASE, WORLD: STOP WASTING FOSSIL FUEL ON CANDIDATE MANSON CRAZY EYES.

I mean, gas and diesel that could go to a good use is being frivolously wasted on candidate Manson Crazy Eyes.

[Faygo Kid]

29. Has anyone not told her that Elvis has left the building?

Permanently?

[santamargarita]

30. We'll just call it a Sara Palin moment.

[DRoseDARs]

34. "Happy Birthday, Jesus!" Yeah, can we put this Bachmann "gaffe" to rest now? Who effing cares?

Of all the things to go after her for, this ain't one. And besides, between the 3 of them, only one was a real person...

[Politicub]

36. O M G - her idiocy knows no bounds n/t

[pepito]

38. chihuauauauauauauaua

how could anybody this lame and stoooopit pass law bar in any state? did she ?aye,aye,aye:wtf: :nuke: she makes chimpy look down right intellectual

[HCE SuiGeneris]

39. Beyond moron. This asshat is a very real face of how propaganda distorts and clouds.

We are in a very real battle for our lives. The mind-fucking from commercial expenditures geared to distort reality is immense and highly targeted.

The fact that Michelle Bachmann, Rick Perry, Rick Scott, Sarah Palin, etc. have found such prominence in the news, and in the government, should send us into revolt. Right now.

I want to live in a Democracy, not some corporate slave farm.

[tilsammans]

40. What a ditzy dope. n/t

[Gregorian]

41. Judging by this, she'd also invade an unrelated country like Bush did.

Where's the Democratic party's Rove? Although, this odd bag of flesh isn't going anywhere near the White House.
