Michele Bachmann Does Something Stupid & Offensive

Shut the fuck up.CPAC, it is the comedy festival of the year! New GOP leader Michael Steele offered a very honest yet very shitty new marketing strategy to America: “Tonight, we tell America: we know the past, we know we did wrong. My bad.” No we can’t! And then America’s Idiot, Michele Bachmann, responded with a very humorous blackface minstrel performance in which she repeatedly yelled, “Michael Steele! You be da man! You be da man.” [TPM DC]

    I take back my previous comment that she is a racist because she did not try to sexually assault Obama after the SOTU. Clearly, this is her own idjit way of coming on to MC Steele–SHE WANTS TO HAVE LITTLE BROWN BABIES!!!!

  2. TaxWallStreet says at 1:14 pm, February 27th, 2009

    She was hotter with the short hair. Also before i knew what an idiot she was.

    Seriously, if you are kinda cute and dumb as a brick, the GOP will hoist you up and make you a spokeperson, see Palin, Sarah.

    Seriosuly, fellow liberals, who do we ahve who is as dumb as these fools?

    God, all the GOP-ers and the butt hole buddies in KBR, Halliburton and the Carlye Group should be nationalized, gulaged, gitmo’ed and then the money given to the rest of us. amen

  3. CampbellBrown' says at 1:15 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Bachmann then poured some St. Ides on the stage in rememberence on her homey Norm Coleman.

  4. randomsausage says at 1:15 pm, February 27th, 2009

    I thought we’d decided to throw this wing-nut a gerbil to see if she’d swallow it whole? This was our chance!

  5. honkeyman says at 1:15 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Michelle Bachmann is totally on my dick.

  6. My name is Bachman / and I’m here to say / my statments be racist / and I don’t like the gay.

  7. skroocap says at 1:15 pm, February 27th, 2009

    I believe the correct phrasing is *you bees da mayun* - must be a transcript error

  8. Judas Peckerwood says at 1:16 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Michele, you be da baby farmer!

  9. dumb bitch

  10. ManchuCandidate says at 1:17 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Why didn’t she just shove her tongue down Mikey “Not Lexington” Steele’s throat like what she did to W? I think a bit of forbidden love (Repub style) would go along way to improve relations instead of becoming Bachmann Patronizing Overdrive.

  11. shanemacgowan says at 1:17 pm, February 27th, 2009

    “And no, this is not from The Onion.”

    Sadly, all news outlets will have to run this explanation when reporting on CPAC.

  12. qwerty42 says at 1:18 pm, February 27th, 2009

    The suggestion made in some previous post was that the conservatives had become a performance art troupe, and we should be seeing Andy Kaufman in this, seems appropriate. Can we look forward to years of this kind of incredible stuff?

  13. Ole Chimpanzee Lips is back.

  14. randomsausage says at 1:20 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Keram2: +1. It’s a rap from Run RNC!

  15. wide right says at 1:20 pm, February 27th, 2009

    oh no she di’int!

  16. Red Zeppelin says at 1:21 pm, February 27th, 2009

    shanemacgowan: I’ve noticed this a few times in msm reporting on the Republicans. It’s the new meme.

  17. widestanceromancer says at 1:22 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Own Our Failure A Little More, Please is not much of a platform, is it now?

  18. I’d like to ‘PAC’ her ‘C’.

  19. Monsieur Grumpe says at 1:23 pm, February 27th, 2009

    It’s understandable, up till now, the only black people she’s seen were on the TeeVee. The Jeffersons were so funny weren’t they Michelle.

  20. Hooray For Anything says at 1:23 pm, February 27th, 2009

    I think you need to rework your posting title a bit. It should read “Michele Bachmann Does Something Is Stupid & Offensive”

  21. Elm Hugger says at 1:23 pm, February 27th, 2009

    TaxWallStreet: I here-by nominate Rolland Burris, the fine junior senator from the State of Illinois!

  22. SayItWithWookies says at 1:23 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Wow — the GOP becomes the party of hip-hop. In much the same way that they became the party of fiscal responsibility, the party of non-nation-building and the party of small government. I can’t wait for the big Saturday night fish fry tomorrow.

  23. qwerty42:
    More good stuff from CPAC: Barry is our new Uber Fuhrer.
    http://washingtonindependent.com/31751/conservatives-confident-their-day-is-coming

    “‘This is probably too strong,” said [CPAC attendee] Doug Haney, the city attorney in Carmel, Ind. and a Republican precinct committeeman, “but Hitler also gave great speeches.’”

    [The article has other mind-numbing quotes from the CPAC lotus eaters.]

    *************

  24. PsycGirl says at 1:24 pm, February 27th, 2009

    From Steele “I don’t do ‘cutting-edge.’ That’s what Democrats are doing. We’re going beyond cutting-edge.”
    WTF?

  25. MisterLoki says at 1:24 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Please let there be video. Please let there be video. Please let there be video.

  26. Monsieur Grumpe says at 1:26 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Welcome to the Big Tent Mr Steele.

  27. freakishlystrong says at 1:26 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Dear Republicans,

    You are, nor have ever been, nor will you ever be kewl, you look like horses asses when you try.

    Fo Shizzle,

    freakishlystrong

  28. Fivetree says at 1:26 pm, February 27th, 2009

    And then she told him to go back out yonder and bust up a chiffarobe.

  29. Orangeen says at 1:26 pm, February 27th, 2009

    This CPAC stuff is the best shit ever. I was just watching, and a Rep was saying that Rahm hasn’t been looking him in the eye lately, but that’s good, because he’s doesn’t want to look the DEVIL in the eye! Hardy har har. Also, there is a clip of Joe the plumber circulating where he wishes that we could just shoot members of congress like the good old days. Yup.

  30. Bachman is the future of the GOP. Just like suburban white kids in Caprice Classics, a blastin’ subwoofer roaring Hip Hop and pretending to be urban.

  31. TestRat1 says at 1:27 pm, February 27th, 2009

    man the GOP is soooo cool. WORD to ya Mother.

  32. chascates says at 1:28 pm, February 27th, 2009

    The GOP committed suicide by getting rid of the moderates in its ranks. Now there’s a race to see who can be the most far-right and those who win that race are the most mentally challenged, foot-in-mouth publicity whores.
    Death by a thousand nuts.

  33. El Pinche says at 1:29 pm, February 27th, 2009

    I guess you guys missed Mitch McConnell making Wutang hand gestures and chanting “Wutang aint nuthin to fuck wit” at the beginning of Steele’s speech.

  34. El Pinche says at 1:30 pm, February 27th, 2009

    “urban”…that’s as bad as “electronica”. I believe both words were created by Amazon marketing to categorize music.

  35. El Pinche says at 1:31 pm, February 27th, 2009

    chascates: amen to that.

  36. Fox n Fiends says at 1:31 pm, February 27th, 2009

    ICE ICE BABY

  37. QuestionEvil says at 1:32 pm, February 27th, 2009

    And now Michelle gives a shout out to all her hommies.

    GW
    St. Ronald
    Big Dick (Nixon)
    Little Dick (Cheney)
    Mooselini
    Bobby the Page
    Manatee
    Billo the Clown
    and Flush Limpbowel

  38. PsycGirl: Beyond cutting edge is nothing more than Bleeding Edge.

  39. randomsausage says at 1:32 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Orangeen: Yup lad, the level of wing-nuttery has really been kicked up a notch. Fantastic to behold.

  40. AnnieGetYourFun says at 1:33 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Today, we all be da man.

  41. Fox n Fiends: Queen will demand all your royalties from that comment

  42. Michelle: “Slap me some FIVE, bro!”
    Steele: Looks startled and confused.
    Michelle: “No, um, I mean jive me some terrorist-jab, you big dood-meister!”
    Steele: Puts the palm of his hand onto her face and pushes gently back until she’s gone.

  43. You can’t really blame her. She doesn’t know how to talk to a black. Or a rational human being. She’s Republican, it’s not like she gets a lot of practice.

  44. Mr Blifil says at 1:35 pm, February 27th, 2009

    This is all just prelude to the impending release of her new video series “My Congresswoman’s Fucking Blackzilla.”

  45. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 1:35 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Uhhhhhhhh, ok… so, just to review, in addition to being suddenly very concerned about sexism and wanting to hip-hopify their image, the GOP is now down with ebonics.

    That sound you just heard is the GOP of the 90’s blowing their collective brains out.

  46. DustBowlBlues says at 1:35 pm, February 27th, 2009

    TaxWallStreet: I completely agree. I desperately need a giant plasma teevee for the home theater, and these assholes should supply it for me.

  47. suchsweetthunder says at 1:35 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Oh Michelle, you sweet jive talker you . . .

  48. randomsausage says at 1:36 pm, February 27th, 2009

    her remarks can be attributed to pre-minstrel tension

  49. SpikeyDog says at 1:38 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Michele Bachmann’s husband makes part of his living “converting” gay’s to straight. What more can I say.

  50. springfield_meltdown says at 1:39 pm, February 27th, 2009

    If you are that white and from MN saying “you da man” should be done in a self-mocking kind of way and immediately followed by talking about something you actually know about. Like hotdish made from cream of whatever canned soup.

  51. AngryBlakGuy says at 1:41 pm, February 27th, 2009

    …everytime I see Michael Steele, I cant help but think of that “Dave Chappelle” skit; with the blind black guy that is a member of the KKK!

  52. DustBowlBlues says at 1:42 pm, February 27th, 2009

    freakishlystrong: Our cool president is black, so they get one for themselves. Slumdog Millionaire sweeps award season and they get themselves an Indian.

    What is it with these people?

  53. AngryBlakGuy says at 1:42 pm, February 27th, 2009

    …and as for Michelle Bachman: What I would pay for her car to break down in the middle Comptons or Crenshaw!

  54. Fo shizzle, Shelly!

  55. o please says at 1:45 pm, February 27th, 2009

    There’s partial video at http://minnesotaindependent.com/27804/steele-you-da-man-bachmann (you get one “da man”)

  56. widestanceromancer says at 1:46 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Women are only invited to CPAC to guard restroom doors, so it’s easy to see how she got a little carried away, having heard a rumor that Steele is straight.

  57. Hooray For Anything says at 1:46 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Bruno: Not really because Queen went ‘Ding ding ding dingy ding-ding.’ FoxnFriend goes, ‘Ding ding ding ding dingy ding-ding.’

  58. Wellstones Ghost says at 1:47 pm, February 27th, 2009

    2 FUNNY! The sad display of what little is left of the GOP

    DustBowlBlues: Simple really, they’re REPUBLICANS…the crazy is strong with them my young padawan..

  60. Wellstones Ghost says at 1:48 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Keram2! EXCELLENT!

    My name is Bachman / and I’m here to say / my statments be racist / and I don’t like the gay.

  61. stopmebeforeitypeagain says at 1:49 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Remember the time you got totally hammered, and she took you back to her place, and you did really vile and disgusting things all night, and when you woke up there was this awful banging inside your head, and you couldn’t remember her name, and you hated yourself, and you looked at her face, and you hated yourself even more, and your mouth tasted like kitty litter, and you still couldn’t remember her name, and you got dressed as quietly as you could, and you got the fuck out of there.

    Now you remember her name.

    It’s “Michele Bachmann”.

    Aren’t you sorry now?

  62. Oh hell to the no says at 1:49 pm, February 27th, 2009

    As someone from MN, I can say that the district she represents is stupid and offensive. The sixth district is basically the Twin Cities’ redneck zone.

  63. mocowbell says at 1:52 pm, February 27th, 2009

    CPAC. They all jive talkin’ by day — but when the night falls it’s all about da scat.

  64. american mutt says at 1:53 pm, February 27th, 2009

    From BlackPeopleLoveUs.com

    “Johnny calls me ‘da man!’ That puts me at ease. It makes me feel comfortable, because I am Black and that’s how Black folks talk to one another.”

    “Johnny is generous enough to remark upon how ‘articulate’ I am! That makes me feel good!”

    “Johnny always says: ‘I’m not racist; one of my best friends is Black!’ I think he might mean me!”

  65. iolanthe says at 1:56 pm, February 27th, 2009

    TaxWallStreet: Two words: Elisabeth Hasselbeck

    Has there ever been a stupider little fluffball in *either* party?

  66. The Helvetica Scenario says at 1:56 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Also said by Bachmann at the conference:
    “I just wondered that if our founders thought taxation without representation was bad, what would they think of representation WITH taxation?”

  67. 24 carat comedy. I don’t want it to end.

  68. liquiddaddy says at 1:59 pm, February 27th, 2009

    In his best white person impersonation Michael Steele replied, “Shucks, I think you are a super gal, Michelle; a really fantastic person!”

  69. springfield_meltdown says at 2:01 pm, February 27th, 2009

    The Helvetica Scenario: No one could be THAT stupid. Well, maybe Michelle

  70. iolanthe says at 2:02 pm, February 27th, 2009

    AngryBlakGuy: My car has broken down in both Compton and in Crenshaw (a mere five minutes from my house, BTW.) I am a lily-white middle-class elderly woman, and in both these cases, everybody around was nice as pie … not like the threatening crap I get from Frat Boys every time I venture out to a music club in Santa Monica.

    I’m not sure most voters outside of Wonkette and Minnesota even know what Michelle Bachmann looks like, so the Comptonites and Crenshavians would probably help her out.

  71. El Pinche says at 2:04 pm, February 27th, 2009

    AngryBlakGuy: Haha…Steele is Clayton Bigsby!

  72. randomsausage: NICE. I like it.

  73. Conservatives are so cute when they try to be ‘ethnic’ and ‘modern’.

  74. Okay, I’m confused. Which people are supposed to be “you people”?

  75. bitchincamaro says at 2:10 pm, February 27th, 2009

    She is sooooo horny for some blue Steele scrote-sack.

  76. TestRat1 says at 2:12 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Hammer, Vanilla Ice and Young MC getting shout outs from MC Steele.

  77. DustBowlBlues: The are the party of “Me Too”.

  78. President Beeblebrox says at 2:19 pm, February 27th, 2009

    TestRat1: You forgot Run-DMC. Mike’s heading out to get a pair of Adidas with puffy laces and a couple of gold ropes.

  79. randomsausage: Indeed, she was having a minstrel breakdown.

  80. peorgietirebiter says at 2:30 pm, February 27th, 2009

    AngryBlakGuy: daytime Compton is a whole other world, but if you’re driving while white thru Compton in the late evening, your car doesn’t really break-down, so much, as it faints. Besides, every Republican should know that Compton’s main fire-station is a designated green-zone for photo-ops.

  81. You left out the part after she squawked “You be da man! You be da man!…”

    Being phenomenally stupid, the Honorable Ms. Bachmann forgot where she was from, so she ran around the Omni Shoreham screaming:

    “I da ho! I da ho!”

  82. norbizness says at 2:42 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Here’s a picture of her with another black man. No, wait, that’s just Mittens after his fourth wife left him in the Magic Tanning bed for two hours too long.

  83. S.Luggo: Looks more like she’s flexin’ her DSL’s there…

  84. MarieDeGournay says at 2:51 pm, February 27th, 2009

    She so crazy! No, I mean it, she’s fucking crazy.

  85. AnnieGetYourFun says at 2:58 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Oh, Michele. Please don’t ever get voted out of office. EVER.

  86. CorkPopper says at 2:58 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Besides Michele’s lunacy, I’m deeply bothered by Steele saying “My bad”. Dude…”my bad” refers to getting the movie time wrong, or a bad frisbee throw. Two wars, a fiscal meltdown and a shredded Constitution just aren’t covered under My Fucking Bad.

  87. The Station Manager says at 3:00 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Bachman Racist Overdrive.

  88. Where’s Boo-Boo Kitty Fuck when you need her?

  89. AutomaticPilot says at 3:04 pm, February 27th, 2009

    iolanthe: until she opened her mouth, that is.

  90. Oh hell to the no says at 3:12 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Wait, you guys do know that CPAC is a comedy festival, right? It’s full name is Conservative People Also Comedians.

  91. Oh hell to the no says at 3:15 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Somewhere at CPAC, Alan Keyes is weeping over beers with Joe The Bummer Plumber and wishing someone, any passerby really, would call *him* “da man”. He also wishes that people would stop handing him their coats (but he does appreciate the tips).

  92. “Tonight, we tell America: we know the past, we know we did wrong. My bad,” said Steele. “But we go forward in appreciation of the values that brought us to this point.”

    There is no way anyone actually said this. This was satire written by Ken Layne.

  93. Aloysius says at 3:19 pm, February 27th, 2009

    GOP’s message to the US public regarding universal health care: “Jus’ hang loose, blood. She gonna catch up on da rebound on da medicide.”

  94. randomsausage says at 3:22 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Despite all the wing-nuttery, there’s no denying that me likey Conservative Cougars: I bet her snatch has no thatch.

    ‘memba this?

    http://ifuckedanncoulterintheasshard.blogspot.com/

  95. hobospacejungle says at 3:39 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Let’s remember these wingtards paid $250 to see this minstrel show.

    So, they’re fine with $700 billion going to criminal financiers.

    They’re against $900 billion going to, you know, stop the new Greater Depression.

    But they’re fine paying $250 to witness the disintegration by self-parody of their once-proud political party.

  96. Michale Steele apologizes for the clusterfuck of the past eight years by saying “My bad!” and Michelle Bachmann is gettin’ her jive on. Jon Stewart is somewhere in his studio, weeping over the pending loss of his job, reality having finally overtaken parody like the coyote in the roadrunner cartoons and plunged right over that cliff-face.

  97. Also, I think I’ve discovered where Michelle Bachmann is taking her language tutorials from.

    Ali G: Is it because I is black?
    Andy Rooney: You’re black?
    Ali G: For real.
    Andy Rooney: Who’s black?
    Ali G: Yo, I is.

  98. assistant/atlas says at 3:53 pm, February 27th, 2009

    AngryBlakGuy: I don’t think they have those in Minnesota. Unfortunately.

    iolanthe: I, too, once lived within a few minutes of Compton in South-Central! Yes, folks would help her out until she said something stupid and racist … then comes the white lady beatdown. At least, that’s the way it happens in my dreams.

  99. CARCUNTZ!(tm)-R-Us says at 3:59 pm, February 27th, 2009

    “But we go forward in appreciation of the values that brought us to this point.” — M. Steele

    This point?!!? You mean an appreciation for the values that got us into illegal wars, a trampling of The Constitution and a World-wide depression?? And all you have to say for it is “My bad.”??!??

  100. CARCUNTZ!(tm)-R-Us says at 4:03 pm, February 27th, 2009

    CARCUNTZ!(tm)-R-Us: **screeches and rips out a clump of hair**

  101. Clancy_Pants says at 4:03 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Put a gray wig on Bachman and she could be Barbara Billingsly

    Chump don’ want no help, chump don’t GET da’ help!

  102. Hooray For Anything says at 4:22 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Isn’t “my bad” a couple years ago too? Does this make him look out of touch then for still using unhip phraseology or applaud him for at least saying something heard this decade.

  103. Michelle Blachmann, henceforth.

  104. Jukesgrrl says at 5:20 pm, February 27th, 2009

    She gets Michael Steele mixed up with Tiger Woods.

  105. Quick, somebody get a net! They’re all in one place!

  106. skyinator says at 5:52 pm, February 27th, 2009

    Fist-bumps all around for Meesh Baby Got Back Bachmann.

  107. Someone should have informed Michele Bachmann that to be da man, you’ve gotta beat da man.

    WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

  108. greywindz says at 12:13 am, February 28th, 2009

    Mr Blifil: WIN!

  109. davesnothere says at 12:36 am, February 28th, 2009

    oh. my. god.

  110. davesnothere says at 12:41 am, February 28th, 2009

    CorkPopper: Yeah, no shit. Is he volunteering to take sole personal responsibility for everything that has “gone down,” the past eight years? Thass some serious self-loathin’.

  111. I think Michelle Bachman should be forced to pull welfare cheats around DC in a rickshaw, while naked of course.

  112. zhubajie says at 9:59 am, March 1st, 2009

    ManchuCandidate: Because the racist faction of the Giant Octopus Party is still strong,and she is probably part of it, as well as part of the religious fanatic faction. She wishes she could be a robber baron, but probably has not yet gotten enough bribe money to really be a member.

    Palin, married to a colored man, can never really be GOP presidentista, for that reason.

    Zhu Bajie

  113. zhubajie says at 10:02 am, March 1st, 2009

    Orangeen: I’ll agree with Joe about shooting Congress. Start with the GOP members! Let every member of the Bush admin be trampled by drunken elephants, too.

  114. June Cleaver 2.0 says at 8:39 pm, March 1st, 2009

    Clancy_Pants: Hey, leave Barbara Billingsley alone!

  115. nader paul kucinich gravel says at 9:07 pm, March 8th, 2009

    Maple Grove, MN does not and will not claim Michele Bachmann.
