Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., trying to regain political momentum for her presidential campaign, summoned reporters to a press conference after President Obama's speech Thursday night to hear her reaction. About 15 journalists attended.

The congresswoman said she missed most of the president's speech because of a flight delay but that didn't temper her lack of enthusiasm for it. She called Obama's jobs plan a "temporary gimmick" and appeared particularly irked by the president's description of congressional negotiations as "a political circus."

"It was an unfortunate use of terms," said Bachmann. She accused Obama of having "called 535 members back to hear what I believe was nothing more than a political speech."

1. Well, WTF?

...what a piece of dung she is.

Can a woman be a jackass? ...'cause she is one major jackass.

2. She looks like she works the market street BART station.

:hide:

Can I sing for you? Watch me juggle!

3. Flight delay = Her broom wouldn't start.

She is an ass.

4. Aw man, I was hoping she was really in clown face. n/t

[No Elephants]

13. Wait. She wasn't?

[left on green only]

5. At First I Was Perplexed When I Noticed The Worn Knees In Her Clown Costume

But then after I spotted the Jim Dandy grins on the faces of the kock bros, I understood all. Apparently she plans to buy the election with financial contributions, and therefore she is not concerned how her behavior is perceived by a majority of the people who have kept up with their dental work.

6. inspire innovation.

From a woman living in the 12th century. Innovation for her might include the flying buttress and the wimple.


The Repugs got nuttin' to offer.

The last debate could have been from 2008.

7. Anyone who says they had something better to do last night....

...has no right to critique the address.

If I were working in an office or factory, and the plant manager or regional director said they were conducting a meeting to outline a plan to pull the company out of dire straits, I don't think I'd say I want to watch a football game instead.

8. Reminds me of a shrub quote....

"I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn't here." --at the President's Economic Forum in Waco, Texas, Aug. 13, 2002

9. "I'm here as a member of Congress," she said....

Then why wasn't she acting like one by attending a joint session with congress?
Take the rest of the week off, Michelle.

12. What a complete and utter ASSHOLE!!! (nt)

[No Elephants]

14. And so ends the political career of another Republican. Buh bye, Michelle.

Henceforth, my reply to bachmann threads will be similar to my reply to Palin threads.

Michelle who?

[Javaman]

15. her dying flail has begun. nt
