Quote of the Week (And It's Only Monday)


"During the last 100 days we have seen an orgy... The government spent its wad by April 26."

-- Michele Bachmann, speaking at an anti-tax rally over the weekend and seeming to prove that my recent assessment of her wasn't all that far off

If the Republican party wants to recovery some semblance of credibility with the citizens of this country, Michelle Backman is definitely not who you want to look for as an example. She's nuts.

Well, that explains the pearl necklace.

The right-wing seems to be breeding an army of photogenic, retarded spokeswomen. Sarah Palin was the proto-type. Then along came Michelle Bachmann and that hoople-head Carrie Prejean. I guess the conservatives think sex can be used to sell anything, even their bat-shit crazy agenda.

I mean, it's not technically wrong...but wouldn't it have been slightly more accurate to say "spewed its wad"?

Manimal, you forgot the original Republican dumb-ass bombshell: Katherine Harris.

So, I know its not the best indicator of where things are, but did anyone notice where the dow ended today?
Things actually look like they may have stabilized from where I am sitting.

As Moe once said to Larry, "Every time you talk you weaken the nation."

Fox does have the most attractive female spokestooges though. That the GOP has also decided to do this seems simply more of the tail wagging the dog. Chez, you are a pro, how about a little insight on gorgeous anchorwomen. Are they the true equals of the gorgeous anchormen?

Am I the only one who thinks she looks like a deranged Dr. Cuddy lookalike from House?

Michael - that stock game is really not for us. Remember during the great depression the fat cats manipulated some very wild spikes up and down - that's where the term "cornered the market" came from. Look up the DJI for the period.

Maybe it is truely raining money again, but with a second wave of mortgage resets and CRE awash in empty strip malls - methinks the worst is yet to come.

As for Bachmann, she reminds me of an at times bat-shit crazy menopausal woman whose looks are aging and who is not taking it well; the woman that I have lived with for the last 28 years. Not to stereotype or anything.

Manimal: there was even a Canadian export to the FOX network awhile back called Rachel Marsden. She's a psycho bunny-boiler from BC who's got a couple of restraining orders on her.
She used to also have an unintentionally hilarious column in the trashy Toronto Sun untilabout 2007 or so...

As for Bachman: which president was it again that gave Henry Paulson a no-questions-asked $700 billion handout back in September '08?

Michelle Bachmann: embracing Teh Wacky™ since 2008!

Narbe said...

Another in a (long)line of dumb cunts.

The word orgy and Bachmann should never be used in the same sentence. Forget gay marriage, its these images that have ruined my marriage.

And I was just thinking of you yesterday when I saw this:

Beautifully said, Michele! I couldn't have been trashier, myself.
