It's official: Michele Bachmann just kicked off her campaign to win the 2012 Republican presidential nomination by comparing herself to a clown-suit-wearing serial killer. In case anyone still needed a reminder of just how batsh*t crazy she is, we've collected more choice quotes highlighting both her intellectual acumen and her position on the environment (which basically amounts to her personal leprechaun telling her to "burn it all"). Gather round the caribou coffee klatch -- and start the countdown till Mad Michele tops these howlers.
On the moral dangers of high-speed rail: "It is a brand new, billion-dollar high speed train that is going to go from Disneyland up to Las Vegas. ... Harry Reid, the senator from Nevada, was behind this measure, and it makes us wonder, is he more interested in making sure kids start gambling at younger ages?"
On cozy, wildlife-hugging oil pipelines: "Some suggestions are that perhaps we would see an enhancement of wildlife expansion because of the warmth of the pipeline. ... The
has now become a meeting ground and ‘coffee klatch' for the caribou."
On the historic spread of infectious disease: "In the 1970s the swine flu broke out then under another Democrat president, Jimmy Carter. And I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it's an interesting coincidence."
