After Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., claimed last month that she left the Democratic Party and became Republican because she was horrified by the portrayal of the Founding Fathers in Gore Vidal's 1973 historical novel "Burr," I reached out to the 85-year-old author.

And today, through an assistant, Vidal offered this written statement in response to Bachmann's creation myth:

"She is too stupid to deserve an answer."

Here is the video of Bachmann telling the tale in Troy, Mich., last month.

1. Reminds me of Stravinsky's answer when asked his opinion of Disney's "Fantasia":

"I'm unable to comment on such unresisting imbecility." :D

4. Stravinsky might have been a little sour on ...

Stokowski...

Walt and Leopold invented Stereo panning through their work on Fantasia. Whatever one thinks of Stokowski's interpretations of the works presented Fantasia is a breakthrough in modern audio engineering...

Not that it's a commentary on gore vidal's correct assertion about that imbecile Bachmann.

2. Good One. Who the hell leaves a political party because they didn't like a historical novel?

She really is stupid.

3. Did her MN constituents move to MI?
