Anyone see Amanpour taking Bachmann apart this morning?
Bachmann spun like a top and was called on all levels of stupidity. She left with a strained smile pasted on her face which hid a whole mountain of anger, I'm sure. She was called on her illegal immigrant terrorist BS from the past week, on her assertion that Perry is "stealing her ideas" on taxes and then proceeded to put out a non-specific specifically detailed tax plan of her own, and now can be said to be on record as supporting Qaddafi and allowing slaughter of the rebels should foreign policy have been hers to make as president.

Right now Amanpour is talking to Bill Gates, who clearly doesn't want to pay more taxes. What a goober.

1. She's one of the good guys on Sunday morning TV

2. Amanpour vs Bachmann? That doesn't seem very sporting.
the old saying, "I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person."

7. Clearly not a fair fight. "How do you get your facts so wrong?" is the new
classic concerning Bachmann.

Absolutely priceless.

12. That should be a republican mantra. "How do you get your facts so wrong."

3. C.A.: "You've made some statements that lead some people to question your attention to detail"
:rofl:

4. I think everybody will be trying to knock her out of the race ASAP
Anyone who forgets to pay her staff is entirely too big an embarrassment for the RNC, who strongly feel staff should be paid to keep them on the job. Underpaid, but paid.

Still, I'm sure it was a thing of beauty. Amanpour is a smart cookie and Bachmann is a toad who would love to slam all the doors Amanpour used to get where she is shut.

8. I think you are correct. It was interesting that Dick Armey was on the panel for the program and
he was actively looking for reasons for teabaggers to support Cain, specifically on tax issues.

5. It is stunning that anyone still considers Bachmann presidential material.
I swear, the only difference between Bachmann and Palin is the sound of their voice. Although Bachmann can at least string a coherent sentence together, it is usually full of inaccuracies outright lies. She is a major doofus.

6. Amanpour - a real reporter, not a teleprompter reader
And Bill Gates - the man thinks he knows how to reform education, and he has no clue. He is a really strange guy.

9. I think educational reform for Gates simply means to hand every child a computer
and to hell with the content.

10. Why give Bachmann any air time?
She is done, finished as a candidate. She polls in single digits even in GOP primaries.

11. Michelle is following Sarah
Her 15 minutes are about up. She was a cute, quirky, crazy diversion but when the rubber hit the road she was too wacky for even the GOP.

Buh bye, Michelle.
