Here is a rather low-budget rip of “war correspondent” Michele Bachmann crying with Sean Hannity over how everyone makes fun of her for raising issues that literally do not exist. The actual elected Congressional legislator has judiciously spent her time introducing a constitutional amendment “to prohibit the President from entering into a treaty or other international agreement that would provide for the United States to adopt as legal tender in the United States a currency issued by an entity other than the United States,” because she thinks the United States is trying to replace the dollar. Again: she thinks the United States is trying to replace the dollar, as its currency.

Now while we could be *fucked* currency-wise, it is not because Timothy Geithner is trying to replace the United States dollar as the United States currency. Our friends from China — or as Hannity prefers, “Communist China of all places,” because how dare we even talk to those Red Commies, who have literally paid for America over the last 15 years — and other places have been considering replacing the dollar as the sole world reserve currency, because we have a Treasury bubble (hooray! ugh) and will likely try to inflate away our public debt by printing dollars. Again, DOLLARS. No CHINA MUNNY over here!

Here is another terrible thing she said:

Bachmann: Do we get into an inner tube and float 90 miles to some free country? There is no free country for us to repair to. That’s why it’s up to us now. The founders gave everything they had to give us this freedom. Now it’s up to us to give everything we can to make sure that our kids are free, too. It’s that serious.

She’s being SUPER SERIOUS YOU GUYS. (What is this about an inner tube?) WE CANNOT SIMPLY INNER TUBE TO CATALINA ISLAND.

don’t bother inner-tubing to Canadia, because Communist Mexico of all places is about to force the Amero on all of us up here. you can actually make out the black babies they sacrifice to the owl god of bohemian grove. join a militia, people, Glenn Beck was right!!!1!!

It’s as serious as shoving one’s tongue down W the Blunder Preznit’s throat.

Hey, Michelle. If you’re serious about floating down to Catalina in an inner tube may I suggest the following?
1) Coat yourself liberally in chum
2) Make like a Seal going “Arf! Arf! Arf!” and balance a ball on your nose
3) Ignore all that talk about the waters around Catalina being a White Shark feeding ground.

Ok, just for the sake of entertainment, let me ask for a second this one question; why not ratify this amendment? Considering, the ability to print money is the only thing keeping this country afloat at the moment – it seems self-evident that the country would collapse into oblivion if we discarded the dollar, if that were even possible.

Let’s have a big parade, sign the amendment with a goose-quill pen and gold ink, thank her for her services, throw some confetti, and make a big cheer! Since she apparently has no sense of irony at all, we should award her the Green Tiara of Congressional Freedom, make March 30nd official American Currency Independence day, a day where we all use dollars to buy things. Elton John could write a stirring tribute, to the tune of Levon. Burger King could name a sandwich after her (extra cheese, extra lettuce). I want to watch that moment when it dawns on her that she’s the last person in America to be in on the joke – that the rest of us were all intending to keep using the dollar anyway.

lampadadog March 30, 2009 at 5:00 pm

Did you know that at the end of the clip–I assume many could not stand the pain and had to turn it off before this point–Hannity actually replays the travesty of her questioning Geithner and Bernanke on the Constitutionality of their actions? Then, they attempt to spin it like Geithner is the crazy one, because he does not grasp that in following the orders of That One, his Boss, he is also trampling upon the Constitution. He must be called to account for this.

In Bachmann’s world, it’s not that the Congress granted him authority to act in a certain way, and that he must act on behalf of the Executive to carry this out. Rather, it’s that Geithner must rise up as a rebel against both Congress and the President and refuse to lay out their horrible TARPS and such. That’s what the Constitution demands of him!

CAN YOU IMAGINE? This woman has real power, in office. I blame this on decades of crap education, and this is a problem because the upper Midwest is supposed to be outperforming all the other public schools. We are doomed.

Bruno March 30, 2009 at 5:37 pm

I’d kind of like to bring back Dutch Guilders as a currency. It was far prettier than greenbacks and would be much more fun to spend (retail stimulus!)

The Dutch gave it up for the Euro, so its free for Amerika to steal, right?

I have to point out that insHannity stated that the Chinese want to move to a global currency; do you realize your fanbase shop @ the Church of China (Wally-Mart)AND have bought all our debt? WHAT IF THEY CALL THAT IN? I guess we’re using Remembi anyway!

So, lemme get this right, she wants to “prohibit … as legal tender in the United States a currency issued by an entity other than the United States.”

But silver and gold come from the earth, which, as Genesis 1:1 helpfully points out, was created along with heaven by “an entity other than the United States.”

Why does Ms. Bachmann reject the gifts of God? And of Ron Paul?

[re=276936]The Frogurt Is Also Cursed[/re]: It’s stuff like this that shows that Hannity got rid of Colmes not because he was too “liberal” but that he was too “sane.”

Oh hell to the no March 30, 2009 at 7:06 pm

A few things:

Bachmann is from the Sixth district, which is the a pretty fucked up district to begin with. We’d gladly get rid of that district if we could.

Bachmann only won because 10% of the people didn’t know that Tinklenberg had the Independence Party endorsement and the DFL endorsement and voted for some schlub who paid a couple hundred bucks to get on the ballot and have himself listed as Independence Party because they weren’t gonna vote for the DFL or the GOP.

I’m sort of glad that Bachmann is safely in Washington. The last thing we need right now is a crazy unemployed person roaming the streets babbling nonsense. Although, should she ever lose her job, I will support her panhanding with my stash of Canadian coins I have been hoarding for a hilarious use TBD.

But really, I hate that woman and I wish she’d associate herself with Wisconsin instead.

Also.

Also.

Lolo March 30, 2009 at 7:15 pm

Don’t blame Bachmann. She’s just pretty enough that she spent her 20′s saying these ridiculous things to men who readily agreed in order to bed the crazy bitch. I blame men. Every time they nod indulgently to a piece of ass, they create another Bachmann for the rest of us to deal with.

Bruno March 30, 2009 at 7:24 pm

If anyone watched the Olbermann piece on her, I noticed a TeLePROMpTeR. Does that mean her remarks are actually prepared and not off-the-cuff lunacy? Who the fuck is her speechwriter?

Custerwolf March 30, 2009 at 7:26 pm

The video still has her looking like she’s cruising on a post electro-shock high.

maven March 30, 2009 at 7:32 pm

Why is her spiel surprising to anyone? She’s using code words familiar to her fans, she specifically said she’s preventing the “one world” currency, associated with the “one world government”, you know, the antichrist one, that clearly Obama is; this is straight out of Hal Lindsy.
To her supporters, its very clear that the literal forces of darkness (Obama) could only have won against the true forces of light (Palin) because this is it, the big one, the one-world government is on its way. And if you don’t know that, well, you’re in big trouble soon when the rapture happens….

(Quote from Time: “Conservative Christian author Hal Lindsey declared in an essay on WorldNetDaily, “Obama is correct in saying that the world is ready for someone like him — a messiah-like figure, charismatic and glib … The Bible calls that leader the Antichrist. And it seems apparent that the world is now ready to make his acquaintance.”" )

[re=276820]K. Signal Eingang[/re]: Nice try, but you’d need a couple of Keith Ellisons, a few Claiborne Pells, a Daniel Patrick Moynihan, AND a Barney Frank to make up for this level of insanity.

Then again, most of us can sympathize. I’m pretty sure my home state is now represented by a Palin-style Know-Nothing, a yokel-cum-corrupt farmer/politician and a boll weevil. And I think the boll weevil might be a Democrat.

Darkness March 30, 2009 at 7:49 pm

Stunning. She doesn’t know what a f*cking reserve currency is. Or she doesn’t care and intends to foment more mental violence from her mentally unstable supporters.

I guess I choose B. It’s easier to cope with.

maven March 30, 2009 at 7:54 pm

Here is a site that sounds like its her talking points bulletin, its quite fascinating as a guide to what goes on in the minds of people like her:

http://www.jeremiahproject.com/trashingamerica/money.html

One World Currency
The forces today that unite the greed of the moneychangers with the power play of elitists that see an opportunity to grab more of America are taking us down a road that lovers of freedom will not like.

And here is what’s behind this one world currency move:

http://www.jeremiahproject.com/newworldorder/

The New World Order
As the 20th-century idols of atheism, humanism and communism are falling worldwide a spiritual vacuum is left that must be filled. In the resulting contest for the souls and minds of Americans in this new world order, the Church faces formidable opponents in godless liberal collectivists, neo-conservative fascists, globalists, New Age religion, Islam and Satanism. (Next to this paragraph is a big picture of Obama)

Custerwolf March 30, 2009 at 7:55 pm

Or all of the above?

[re=277084]President Beeblebrox[/re]:

Apparently it doesn’t matter. What matters is that through all of these traits, he is clearly the Antichrist and hell bent on establishing the One World Government, which is being bravely fought by those on to his secret, such as Bachmann, and apparently Hannity, who seems to get the references,and wasn’t he sort of insinuating, by showing Geithner’s response, that he’s one of Satan’s minions bent on overthrowing the Constitution? If you watch the video again with all these code words in your mind, you’ll see exactly where these two are coming from. And, of course, adding in those early clips about Alaska being one of the sacred sites that will be spared during the Rapture (which is why Palin had to have her baby there and not on the soiled soil of the continental USA), it all comes together. Especially if you are on Meth.

I’d like to knock that besmirch right off her face.
Although I do have some regard for her after finding out that one of her favorite pastimes is adopting children. I came across this picture of one of her little darlings and it really attests to her merit as a wonderful parent:

CanadianBacon March 30, 2009 at 11:20 pm

I found it so cool watching Geithner’s facial reactions to her line of questioning and Hannity saying that Geithner doesn’t understand her question. But she was right. The Constitution does’t have any provisions for saving the economy after some rich people screwed it up. It also doesn’t mention saving companies that make vehicles propelled by internal combustion engines. But it does mention the right to bear arms. So, unless a problem can be solved with a gun, it must be left alone.
