Well Damn, Michelle can never run for President

[warrior1]

My sides are hurting from laughing.

[blogslut]

1. Oh, but wouldn't it be wonderful

...if she did it anyway?

[msanthrope]

2. Context? Details? Clarity? n/t

[blogslut]

3. It was a mess

Bachmann's teabagger response. She slurred words and spent the majority of the thing looking at the wrong camera.

EDIT ADD: Xanex is a hell of a drug

[left is right]

8. didn’t watch it

but does she have reputation for drinking too much? I have read several times that she slurs her words

[blogslut]

11. Don't know

But her manner reminds me of people I know who abused Xanex.

[Kurovski]

15. That would explain her constant look of Trance-like cheerfulness?

[blogslut]

17. She's. Just. So. Calm.

Mother's little helpers and all that. :hi:

[Kurovski]

22. I love the Stones!

:hi:

[alfredo]

26. Michelle, it's the camera with the red light. To your left... the other left

[Kurovski]

31. Utterly impossible to direct.

She clearly throbs to the beat of a different drummer.

She makes her own kind of music.

She is woman, hear her roar.





























Jeremiah was a bullfrog.

[alfredo]

46. She goose-steps to a different drummer

[Mister Ed]

40. No, she has no reputation for drinking

I live in her town, and had to endure her as my State Senator for six years before she won her seat in the U.S. House. I've never heard anything to suggest she's a drinker.

No telling what folks might have in their medicine cabinets, though...

[GCP]

5. If you saw that fiasco, you wouldn't need to ask

[msanthrope]

9. No, I saw it, I guess I just missed the Michelle Obama part???

Too focused on E Woo Jeema.

[tblue37]

19. Michelle Bachmann, not Obama. nt

[GCP]

12. Well the fact that she never actually looked into the live camera

Maybe had a lot to do with it

[Patsy Stone]

4. It was soooo much more of a train wreck

then I even dared to hope it would be. LOFL

[snappyturtle]

6. It was a hoot, wasn't it? BTW, I love your cat picture....enjoy it everytime I see it. nt

[warrior1]

7. you're welcome

thanks I can Haz Cheezeburger...

[Maru Kitteh]

10. She went Vizzini on them:

CNN: All right. Which camera is on? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide where it is, and find out who is right... and who looks like an idiot.

Bachman: But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of network who would tell me which camera was on, or lie? Now, a clever network would lie, because they would know that only a great fool would accept what she was told. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the camera you suggested. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the other camera.

CNN: You've made your decision then?

Bachman: Not remotely. Because media moguls come from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the camera you suggested.

CNN: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.

Bachman: Wait til I get going! Now, where was I?

[Voice for Peace]

13. hahah very good.

[DebJ]

20. LOL my favorite film. n/t

[du_da]

25. Don't confuse her focus as incompetency

She was giving a response specifically for the Tea Party Express and speaking into their camera not the CNN camera. If anything her disregard of the CNN camera is an important message to the media both from her and from those whom she claimed to have been speaking for. Like her message or not, these people have decided that the establishment be it political or media is no longer controlling the message or even the acceptable topics.

As much as we may be tempted to disregard her or those she claims to represent because of a disagreement with her views, let's not make the same mistake that was made when the Tea Party first hit the scene and everyone poo poo'd them as irrelevant. Berate and ignore these people at the progressive movement's own peril.

33. There was only one camera

There was only one camera. However, it was not a standard TV camera, and thus did not have a built-in teleprompter. Since she was reading the teleprompter, she was not looking at the camera.

[TheBigotBasher]

38. They have booted her

and replaced her with the foot stompingy good Rand Paul

[wellstone dem]

41. Your post made my morning

maybe my whole day. Thanks.

[Betsy Ross]

14. Link to video of her response please? n/t

[somone]

18. Thanks. nt

[davsand]

21. She made Palin look good--or at least a bit smarter, anyway.

I would never have thought it possible.


:shrug:


Laura

[derby378]

23. At least Palin always knows where the camera is

Bachmann looked like she was distracted by a piece of tinfoil being dangled by Betty White.

[cilla4progress]

24. I know - LOVE it -

I only saw her still photo on another thread and I thought I'd BUST. I'm going to watch it online at work tomorrow (boss is away). We don't have unlimited high speed internet at our home.

[alfredo]

27. Scalia, Thomas, and Alito wanted to bring Vuvuzelas, but

Roberts told them no, That's why they weren't there.

[madinmaryland]

28. What the FUCK!! Michelle Obama can damn well run for President.

:wtf:

Oh, and Un-reccing!

:mad:

[Tx4obama]

30. Michele Bachmann NOT Michelle Obama n/t

[madinmaryland]

32. ...

Whoosh!

:wow:

[hfojvt]

39. whoosh what

When I read Michelle, I am thinking Michelle Obama. Since when are we on a first name basis with Bachman?

[warrior1]

44. thank you

I thought it was obvious last night when the twitter world was blowing up over Michelle Bachmann's inability to look at the correct camera.

34. I want a cupcake!

Where's my tiny cake, Michele?

[Kurovski]

36. It's very presidential

the way she adjusts her bra strap and hacks up a coupla' loogies.

[Kablooie]

35. Michelle and Sarah could have battle to the death over the presidential nomination.

That would be fu.

[Crankie Avalon]

42. Well, maybe she can still become a tour guide for Universal Studios...

[Patsy Stone]

45. ...

:rofl:

[WinkyDink]

43. Because she doesn't like Oprah? DO YOU THINK THERE IS ONLY ONE "MICHELLE"?
