IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS

So long, suckersBACHMANN TO ADDRESS NATION: Ah, this is a typical thing people do when they are UTTERLY FREAKING OUT about their entire careers: “Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) has taped an advertisement apologizing for her televised comments calling Barack Obama anti-American, according to a Republican source familiar with her campaign’s decision.” It is still staggering that this one dingbat appearance on Hardball finally did the trick, after daily doses of such standard Bachmannia for the last two years.

    Well, it’s a good start and all, but I personally won’t be satisfied until she crawls up to Obama on her knees, washes his feet with her tears and dries them off with her hair.

  2. shellbomber says at 3:11 pm, October 24th, 2008

    When is she going to apologize for being a wingnut?

  3. Tommy Says Soooo says at 3:11 pm, October 24th, 2008

    I’d still do her if she wore the Julie Newmar outfit.

  4. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:12 pm, October 24th, 2008

    “I meant what I said, but somehow my entire character, being as awful and terrible as I am, will somehow convince you that I didn’t mean what I said. I am truly a horrible fucking person.”

  5. The Nation or the Real Nation?

  6. Lascauxcaveman says at 3:13 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Bachman? I’d turn her over and drive, if you know what I mean.

  7. Viva la Cynthia says at 3:13 pm, October 24th, 2008

    I completely expected most people (well, most Republican people) to ignore/tacitly agree with her batshitness, so I am very happy to be proven wrong.

  8. burn baby burn

  9. mdotsota says at 3:14 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Apologizing is elitist.

  10. Serolf Divad says at 3:14 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Lascauxcaveman:

    Just make sure you wrap your rascal, because she’s über fertile.

  11. tunamelt says at 3:15 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Serolf Divad: Sacrilegious win.

  12. Carrie_Okie says at 3:15 pm, October 24th, 2008

    I’d hit it with an imaginary black assailant.

    What in fucking hell is happening to Real America?

  15. AnnieGetYourFun says at 3:16 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Doesn’t she know that someone else came to Earth 2000 years ago and apologized for everything that ever happened ever so we wouldn’t have to apologize anymore?

  16. Don’t despair, Michelle. I’m sure there’s a Hallmark Store that could use a duster. Just please take something for the jitters.

  17. NoWireHangers says at 3:17 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Yeah, the voters won’t stand for this now, but the same assholes voted her into office in 2006. Let’s be real, Congresscrazy Bachmann totally could have gotten away with that “unamerican” horseshit in 2004. Those were dark days.

  18. bitchincamaro says at 3:17 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Srsly, how much GOP FAIL can a reasonable person absorb in one day before becoming callous and cynical?

    Oh, wait.

  19. Lascauxcaveman:

    Honestly, you guys have TERRIBLE taste in women. Do you see the female Wonketteers lusting over Kristol?

  20. facehead says at 3:19 pm, October 24th, 2008

    I AM Michelle

    THE Failed McCarthy Impersonator

  21. Tommy Says Soooo says at 3:20 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Wiki says she went to ORAl Roberts Law School:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Bachman

    Now you know.

  22. echoman2000 says at 3:20 pm, October 24th, 2008

    it she must, at least make it cable access. like on comcast or something. the ether can’t handle any more of her particles flying around. her orbit has warped.

  23. Gopherit says at 3:20 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Why do we always lose our MILFy Conservatives before they hit prime crazy? Well, at least they keep making more.

  24. StripesAndPlaids says at 3:21 pm, October 24th, 2008

    bitchincamaro: It is kind of like a mini Coctober, except there is no sex. Just satisfying little bits and pieces of unadulterated joy.

  25. mdotsota says at 3:21 pm, October 24th, 2008

    StripesAndPlaids: You forgot “Bach-akke: Congresswoman Floods America With Her Apologies”

  26. problemwithcaring says at 3:21 pm, October 24th, 2008

    What’s the over-under on her questioning Obama’s patriotism again in the ad?

  27. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 3:22 pm, October 24th, 2008

    My fellow Minnesotans, obviously I did not mean to say that Barack Obama is anti-American. Chris Mathews tricked me into saying that. All I meant to say is that he is uppity, and just wants to find loose shoes, tight pussy, and a warm place to shit.

  28. Tommy Says Soooo says at 3:23 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Terry: Hey, compare to some of the libtard trollops I’ve dated, that’s high living. Besides the female Wonketeers are lusting over Rachel Maddow…and you better believe we’re watching.

  29. OffTheRecord says at 3:23 pm, October 24th, 2008

    This is the single greatest day in the history of the world. Why must all of the glorious fail come at once?

  30. JoeFannyPack says at 3:23 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Is it just me or is the guy on the left in front of W checking out his erection and the guy on the right doing some serious stroking? That is quite a kiss and these guys aren’t used to seeing two people of the opposite sex with both of them being over the age of 10 doing such a thing.

  31. Will she be wearing leather trench coat and monocle when she delivers this speech?

  32. freakishlystrong says at 3:24 pm, October 24th, 2008

    The Republicans are in the Tank.

  33. SayItWithWookies says at 3:24 pm, October 24th, 2008

    AnnieGetYourFun: That’s brilliant!

  34. Tommy Says Soooo says at 3:24 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Lionel Hutz Esq.: Win. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. Though I could bear the tight shoes for t’other.

  35. Styrofoam Boots says at 3:26 pm, October 24th, 2008

    I heard Chris Matthews invited her back on the show so he could trick her into giving him fellatio.

  36. MINNEAPOLIS — Congresswoman Michele Bachmann today apologized that Socialist idiots like Democrats did not understand her remarks about Barack Osama being disAmericanized. “I may be crazy but I am not the only Republican nutcase running for Congress,” she shouted. “The main stream media needs to back off and pick on somebody else. Like that guy in North Carolina. Go contribute to his opponent. Leave me alone, you unpatriotic traitors.”

  37. NoWireHangers says at 3:27 pm, October 24th, 2008

    OffTheRecord: Don’t you fret. There will be plenty more glorious fail for everyone to enjoy on November 4.

  38. PrairiePossum says at 3:27 pm, October 24th, 2008

    All the DNC has to do is run that picture of her smacking Bush. It doesn’t matter what apology she makes, she is finished.

  39. echoman2000 says at 3:28 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Lionel Hutz Esq.: maybe this all happened because she know’s in her jeezbus filled heart that her shoes are tight, her pussy’s loose, and she’s gonna be living DOWN BY THE RIVER with only cold places to shit.

  40. facehead says at 3:29 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Gopherit: You find her MILFYy? I admit that Sarah Palin erects my flagpole (wink wink (I’M TALKING ABOUT MY BONER!!!! HA!!!)) but Michelle Bachmann… she’s just someone I’d like to poo on (a SILTPO, that is).

  41. rev_matt_y says at 3:29 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Terry: Not all of use male wonketters find Palin/Bachman/whatever crazy chick they find next to be teh hottness. Some of us have taste and standards. Though not in political commentary, obviously.

  42. Keep your chins up, friends. There is so much more to come. We await the public snit/freak out, at least one talking-head storm-off, more embarrasing fancritters doing crazy things, and many, many Armani…

  43. Woodwards Friend says at 3:30 pm, October 24th, 2008

    I hope shit blames her comments on compact fluorescent light bulbs. The mercury made her go natters.

  44. Palin-Plumber2012 says at 3:30 pm, October 24th, 2008

    My fellow Americans and liberal terrorists…

  45. OzoneTom says at 3:30 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Terry, Tommy Says Soooo: And each other! Don’t forget that fantasy.

  46. magic titty says at 3:31 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Maybe she’ll just give everyone head so we can forget the whole thing.

  47. freakishlystrong says at 3:31 pm, October 24th, 2008

    facehead: Yeah, but if her mouth was open, and you’re dick wasn’t in it, you’d have to listen to that voice…

  48. Rodney Badger says at 3:32 pm, October 24th, 2008

    OffTheRecord: We should celebrate it as a holiday in the coming years.

  49. I think I’ve had a schadenfreude aneurysm…

  50. Palin-Plumber2012 says at 3:34 pm, October 24th, 2008

    AnnieGetYourFun: Haha yeah. Her apology will consist of, “Last week, I made some comments that were divisive and accusing Americans who do not share my view of treason. BUT I believe Jesus is my savior, so joke’s on you, later sinners.”

  51. problemwithcaring says at 3:34 pm, October 24th, 2008

    magic titty: I’d rather get a yeasty vag than get head from her…though it’s prolly a two-fer.

  52. facehead says at 3:35 pm, October 24th, 2008
  53. Gopherit says at 3:36 pm, October 24th, 2008

    facehead: She’s not my favorite , but she definitely has shades of Kitty.

    And so, bring in the next one!

  54. AnnieGetYourFun says at 3:37 pm, October 24th, 2008

    SayItWithWookies: You’re starting to rub off on me. So to speak.

    Terry: To be fair, I do lust after Keith Olbermann and Chris Buckley in what is an apparent display of a major daddy issue.

  55. Gopherit says at 3:38 pm, October 24th, 2008

    grendel:schadenfreudeurysm. Hahaha! Thanks grendel! That’s gonna be a bitch to type, but it fits this week so well.

  56. whiteasasheet says at 3:41 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Terry: It’s not about taste. It’s about variety.

  57. coolcatdaddy says at 3:41 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Sigh. You can put lipstick on a Bachmann, but it’s still a McCarthy.

  58. MoodProcessor says at 3:42 pm, October 24th, 2008

    I’m fully expecting the standard narcissist apology,

    “I’m sorry you guys are so pissed off.”

  59. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 3:42 pm, October 24th, 2008

    shellbomber: Pffft. You want the sun, the moon, and the rest of the planets.

  60. magic titty says at 3:44 pm, October 24th, 2008

    problemwithcaring: I didnt say I wanted it. Because she skeeves me. But I still think she’d offer it.

  61. In triumph today I am blasting Tchaikovsky’s 5th in my cubicle. An ancient Melodiya recording. The track list loads in Cyrillic on Real Player.

  62. stolichnayaaa says at 3:44 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Serolf Divad: Glorious.

  63. GlennBecksTaint says at 3:46 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Palin - Bachmann 2012!!!

  64. stolichnayaaa says at 3:46 pm, October 24th, 2008

    America is “In the Tink”!

    (I am going to keep flogging this, yes.)

  65. Gopherit says at 3:47 pm, October 24th, 2008

    coolcatdaddy: so was McCarthy, when he put on lipstick.

  66. The Church of Realism says at 3:49 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Styrofoam Boots: Ugh, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. I’ve got images of her asking if shes doing it right and Matthews going HA! over and over…ewwwwww

  67. Tommy Says Soooo says at 3:50 pm, October 24th, 2008

    nurple: You’re Pathetique.

  68. bitchincamaro says at 3:52 pm, October 24th, 2008

    grendel: Take 2 Bidens and call me in the morning.

  69. AnnieGetYourFun says at 3:52 pm, October 24th, 2008

    OT, but fun: Sorry if this has been posted already; I just saw it.

  70. Church: the icky thing would be Matthews and Scarborough and the other guys talking about it afterwards, icky locker-room style, because they all want to be with each other more than the ladies.

  71. Styrofoam Boots says at 3:53 pm, October 24th, 2008

    magic titty: Don’t lie. That gaping black hole of right-wing fantasies coming towards your junk—teeth bared. Who wouldn’t want that?

  72. Styrofoam Boots says at 3:55 pm, October 24th, 2008

    The Church of Realism: 10 bucks says by the end of it Matthews donkey punches her.

  73. I hope she goes down guns blazing.

    Don’t let ‘em take you alive, Shelly! Let your crazy free!

  74. peachgirl says at 3:56 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Actually, word is she’s so sorry that she will ENDORSE Obama. She’s in the tank with Opie and Andy. In case you missed the Weekly Standard today:

    http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2008/10/opie_and_andy_taylor_for_obama.asp

  75. The Church of Realism says at 4:00 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Styrofoam Boots: And she bites his dick off, a perfectly funny ending. HA

    Off topic, but I want to start a petition to officially change Rudi G’s name to Rusty Thrombone.

  76. fuckinredneck says at 4:04 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Carrie_Okie: I’d hit it with an imaginary black assailant.

    FUN FACT: 90% of imaginary crimes are committed by imaginary black people.

  77. AnnieGetYourFun says at 4:08 pm, October 24th, 2008

    AnnieGetYourFun: Maybe if you post the link, you git.

  78. magic titty says at 4:09 pm, October 24th, 2008

    The Church of Realism: Your avatar combined with your snark have won you this round, friend.

  79. magic titty says at 4:15 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Styrofoam Boots: I couldnt get a hopey with a thing like that coming towards me.

  80. Lascauxcaveman says at 4:15 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Serolf Divad: Not where I’m goin’ she ain’t.

    Terry: Oh woman, that’s just gross! (and actually, I was just joking. Although brunette and dangerous-crazy is my type. Just ask Mrs. Caveman.)

  81. fuckinredneck: We should deport all imaginary black people!

  82. edgydrifter says at 4:24 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Since nobody above has done so, I declare a Bachmanalia–a weekend of lust and nuttiness made worse by heavy drinking and prescription medication abuse. Let the mirth begin!

  83. sarahconnor says at 4:25 pm, October 24th, 2008

    freakishlystrong: that is a very unpleasant thing to say, is all.

  84. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 4:37 pm, October 24th, 2008

    after daily doses of such standard Bachmannia for the last two years

    You’re forgetting that the American electorate has the attention span of a caffeine-and-sugar crazed two-year-old retard.

  85. sadstone says at 4:38 pm, October 24th, 2008
  86. econdave says at 5:16 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Serolf Divad: When you wrote about Michelle going up to Barry on her knees, that didn’t finish like I thought it would.

    But it does allow me to make a Spinal Tap reference:

    Yeah, just simple lines intertwining, you know very much like, I’m really influenced by
    Mozart and Bach(mann), it’s sort of inbetween those, really, it’s like a Mach piece really, it’s…

    What do you call this?

    Well, this piece is called “Lick My Love Pump”.

  87. Much as I’d prefer Twinkleburger as a representative and human being, Bachmann performs an invaluable service by saying what Republicans really think.

  88. Dear Barry, democrats, people who live in cities, colored folks and anyone outside Wasilla, I am sorry I called you satan.

  89. earthadellic says at 7:00 pm, October 24th, 2008

    its actually not an apology, really just blatant damage-control

  90. edgydrifter says at 7:49 pm, October 24th, 2008

    earthadellic: Ah yes, the good old “I’m sorry if anyone was offended” passive nonapology. Classic.

  91. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 7:59 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Classic.

    Yeah. Barely a step over “I’m sorry you’re so stupid.”

  92. josereyes.theroof says at 8:09 pm, October 24th, 2008

    Crazier even than the Bachman family I knew. One of whom was a Shelly (short for Michelle).
