The Top Ten craziest things to come out of Michele Bachmann’s pie hole (with cool pictures)

Minnesota’s Michele Bachmann doesn’t have the sense to pour piss out of a boot

Michele Bachmann may be running for president but she’s already won the race for least informed politician of the year, and that’s saying a lot considering the silliness that is Sarah Palin. As a tribute to the Macadamia from Minnesota I have gathered the following ten crazy things said by Michele the Malteaser:

1. “We know we were not perfect. We know there was slavery that was still tolerated when the nation began. We know that was an evil and it was scourge and a blot and a stain upon our history. But we also know that the very founders that wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States.”

Note: In fact, they had enshrined it in the Constitution and didn’t do a whole lot afterward to abolish it.

2. “We will talk a little bit about what has transpired in the last 18 months and would we count what has transpired into turning our country into a nation of slaves.”

3. “I know for my family, the only question that we will be answering is how many people are in our home. We won’t be answering any information beyond that, because the Constitution doesn’t require any information beyond that.”

Note: The Constitution doesn’t say that. It’s illegal to not fill out the entire Census.

4. “I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under another Democrat president, Jimmy Carter. I’m not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it’s an interesting coincidence.”

Note: The 1976 swine flu outbreak occured during Gerald Ford’s presidency. Ronald Reagan was president during another, smaller, outbreak in 1988.

5. “The big thing we are working on now is the global warming hoax. It’s all voodoo, nonsense, hokum, a hoax.”

6. “There isn’t one such study because carbon dioxide is not a harmful gas, it is a harmless gas. Carbon dioxide is natural. It is not harmful. It is part of Earth’s life cycle…And yet we’re being told that we have to reduce this natural substance and reduce the American standard of living to create an arbitrary reduction in something that is naturally occurring in the earth.”

7. “Normalization (of gayness) through desensitization. A very effective way to do this with a bunch of second graders is to take a picture of “The Lion King” for instance, and a teacher might say, “Do you know the music for this movie was written by a gay man?” The message is: I’m better at what I do because I’m gay.”

8. “My husband and I have never gotten a penny of money from” a family farm: Really? Her personal financial disclosure reports show that she holds an interest in the farm, that the farm received $259,332 in federal payments between 1995 and 2010, and that she earned income between $32,500 and $105,000 from said farm between 2006 and 2009.

9. “What I love about New Hampshire and what we have in common is our extreme love of liberty…You’re the state where the shot heard round the world in Lexington and Concord.”

10. “Michael Steele! You be da man! You be da man!”

So, I know that there are a lot more crazy questions and quotes out there from Michele Bachmann but this is a good start and as always I’m interested in knowing what you think.
