Who elected this nutjob, Michelle Bachmann to Congress?

[Dr.Phool]

Sounds like she's been drinking with Cheney, and exchanging intelligence with Douglas Feith.

C'mon. Fess up.

U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann claims to know of a plan, already worked out with a line drawn on the map, for the partition of Iraq in which Iran will control half of the country and set it up as a “a terrorist safe haven zone” and a staging area for attacks around the Middle East and on the United States.

She said this in a taped interview St. Cloud Times reporter Lawrence Schumacher, which is available as a podcast. (If you go to this link, look down on the right for “download Capitolcast.”)

But the most amazing is at the end, when the discussion turned to Iran and Iraq, Bachmann’s reasons for sticking with the stay-until-victory camp, and her beliefs, stated as established fact, that Iran has reached an agreement to divide Iraq and set up a free-terrorism zone.

Here’s the extended excerpt:

“Iran is the trouble maker, trying to tip over apple carts all over Baghdad right now because they want America to pull out. And do you know why? It’s because they’ve already decided that they’re going to partition Iraq.

1. The "joke" being...

...that the terrorists in Iraq are more insistent on keeping Iran out even than we are.

2. Is she taking over for Ms. Cleo?

3. Oh jeez! Someone left W alone with a crayon and a piece of paper again!

Voila! A map of Iraq with a bright red line down the middle!

5. If there was a tax on stupidity,

The Republican Party would be bankrupt.

4. Rush was going on about this at lunch - pretty funny

"I've never heard of this person and I have no way of knowing if what she says is true, but it's clearly what Iran would want to do so we should accept it." Even he sounded a little embarrassed - but he quickly covered it over with bluster.

6. Minnesota.

She oughtta tell Cheney and Bush about her inside scoop... they'll be happy to ensure it's treated like gospel on every friendly talk show they have.

[Dr.Phool]

9. I'm just glad they had enough snow up there to keep another one

From escaping to Florida.

She makes Katherine Harris sound sane.

[meegbear]

7. The comments section at the end are great ...

at least 90% saying she's a loon and the rest so happy that people like her represent them.

Good luck Minnesota.

8. She got elected as a good Christian woman

and she apparently channels the same god that the administration does.

For those who don't remember, she's the toothy brunette who had the death grip on Stupid after his SOTU speech.

10. Is she the one who slobbered all over Dumbass at the SOTU?

[KitchenWitch]

13. Why yes, sir, she is!

15. I hope she checked with her hubbie before she announced...

this.

God told him to tell her to go back to school for a degree in tax law. Then God told him to tell her to run for the Senate. I sure hope she isn't going off and thinking for herself. :sarcasm:

[Beausoir]

16. She's a sick, hate-filled bag of bile.

I hate her. I can't believe she 'represents' my state.
