[bigtree]

. . . in an interview with the BBC.

from ThinkProgress: http://thinkprogress.org/2010/11/22/bachman-anti-american/


MAITLIS: You claimed that President Obama spent $200 million a day on a trip to India. It's been roundly ridiculed as a quote.

BACHMANN: Actually, I didn't claim that. I was quoting a newspaper out of India. And I only used that quote-

MAITLIS: Well why would you do that?

BACHMANN: Well number one it came out of the host country in India, a well-respected financial newspaper.

MAITLIS: And you believe that? $200 million dollars a day?

BACHMANN: Well, all I did was I quoted the newspaper. I quoted the newspaper and major national figures in the United States, many in the media had already been using that figure. <...> The reason it was so important was that the president has a two-year history of out of control spending. <...>

MAITLIS: You still believe that it was $200 million dollars a day?

BACHMANN: I didn't say if I believe it or not. What I said was a I was quoting a newspaper.

9. Maitlis played with her like a kitten with a string

Michelle Bachmann has no understand of the laughter she provides for ordinary people with one iota of common sense. She is an ignorant fool who is proud of her ignorance.
