Asked today about her attempt to link the flu to Democrats, Michelle babbled incoherently in an attempt to change the subject::

"Well, actually, I had a full, uh, conversation that I was having with another station -- primarily about the economy, because that's what we're worried about right now," said Bachmann. "And we had just found out about the swine flu at that time, the aggressive nature of how far it was progressing. So the real topic of conversation was on the economy, as it should be. The economy right now is at a situation where we're not seeing the level of recovery that we would like to see."

I’m sorry but, like all Americans, I only respond to color-coded panic alerts. Sorry, WHO, your numbers are meaningless. I recommend you designate the current panic level as purple and go from there.

More like Panic-derm = GOP elephant.

So, while we don’t panic when 34,000 Americans die each year of seasonal influenza, we start to go ape sh*t when there are, so far, fewer than 200 deaths worldwide from H1N1?

What am I missing?

WHO moves to phase 5 alert, meaning wide spread human to human transmission. Phase 6 is widespread pandemic (or, as Michelle might put it Pandemic = Dem Panic).

Of course any time somebody like Bachmann says something inane, the conservative response is to blame the liberal media for, um, quoting her.

She is the epitome of “truthiness”. Why she doesn’t appear regularly on Colbert is a mystery. Perhaps she is too much…

Jebus, the woman just can't stop proving that she's either an idiot, or just doesn't give a damn if she lies.

In addition to this, yesterday she also blamed the Great Depression on FDR's "Hoot-Smalley" Tariff act.

Never mind that:

1. It's Smoot-Hawley, and it was named after two REPUBLICANS who wrote the damn thing.

2. The Depression had already settled in before FDR took office.

From a Huffington Post comment, re: Bachmann: Had Moses inflicted her on Ramses [first] all the other plagues would have been unnecessary.

ROTFLMAO

So, is Michelle responsible for the case of swine flu that was reported in Cold Spring? That’s her district.

Interesting…

That was only 6,000 years ago, noodleman; much more recent than the foundation of the Democratic Party, which was, as you know, founded by Satan, Beelzebub and the rebel angels in their first rebellion against Heaven and cast into Tartarus.

All this stuff is at the Creation Museum; look it up! Its all notated!
