A Live List of Insane Things Michele Bachmann Has Said At CPAC

by Jack Stuef  

We just started watching. Keep refreshing this!

“If the president wanted to be like Ronald Reagan, he would sign a balanced budget amendment!”

“We are the Saudi Arabia of energy!”

“A three-legged stool… won’t fall over easily.” (Conservatives are a three-legged stool.)

“I believe in this three-legged stool.”

“We need to win the Triple Crown of 2012!” Conservatives are going into horse racing.

“For one thing, you’re all incredibly good looking.” That got a laugh, because no.

“Let’s roll!”

And that was it. Then the CPAC tards bombed another Arab country.

If ACA, (mild reforms on for-profit health insurance) is the "crown jewel of socialism", I'd like to see this tool give her Gubbmint paid for healthcare, pension and AG subsidies up and repay the treasury immediately. That, or shut the fuck up.

PuckStopsHere February 10, 2011 at 2:50 pm

I, for one, am willing to keep on paying as long as she shuts the fuck up. It's a good deal for America.

V572625694 February 10, 2011 at 9:57 am

Oh yeah Ronnie balanced the living shit out of the budget. National debt in 1980 was $1 trillion; eight years later it quadrupled.

They just make this shit up, don't they?

Then Saint Ronnie cured the lepers and gave eyesight to Helen Keller…

alfred light February 10, 2011 at 2:14 pm

Oh come on! She can't even understand that the people who ran this country in the 1790s and the people who ran it in the 1860s weren't the same people. How can you expect her to know such NUANCED and DIFFICULT-TO-UNDERSTAND concepts like basic math?

PublicLuxury February 10, 2011 at 9:58 am

Republitards want a triple crown. One for each brain cell.

PublicLuxury February 10, 2011 at 9:59 am

If the President wanted to be like Ronnie Raygun he would triple the national debt and buy everybody using public assistance a Cadillac.

JustPixelz February 10, 2011 at 11:04 am

Also raise taxes 10 times. Sign law legalizing abortion (as gov of CA). Send gifts to Ayatollah Kohmeini. Make deals to send weapons to the Islamic Republic of Iran. Indirectly empower Taliban and bin Laden. Send troops to Lebanon and withdraw them after they were attacked — imagine if Obama did that, or recall Repubicans reaction when Clinton withdrew from Somalia.

CrankyLttlCamperette February 10, 2011 at 11:37 am

Oooh! Don't forget releasing all of the crazies out of St. E's because they should have the right to refuse treatment and wander the streets holding conversations with trashcans.

GOPCrusher February 10, 2011 at 12:43 pm

The "Base",

PublicLuxury February 10, 2011 at 10:03 am

Isn't it curious how Republitards are so focused on 'how people look'. Why is external beauty more important than internal beauty? Republitard's seem to look for the 'would I fuck that' factor. The women too. I heard a Republitard woman say that she would consider 'going gay' for Ann Coulter.

SorosBot February 10, 2011 at 10:05 am

More importantly, why do they see external beauty where it does not exist? See Bachmann, Palin, Coulter; all hideously ugly hags.

Barbara_i February 10, 2011 at 10:21 am

I have a friend who is friends with Ann Coulter. He would email me and CC her and I was just waiting for her to press "reply all" just once. It was the typical and childish shit like the watermelons on the White House lawn. She never did.

alfred light February 10, 2011 at 2:17 pm

(Psst. It's because she doesn't actually believe her own bullshit.)

freakishlywrong February 10, 2011 at 10:06 am

One wouldn't have to "go gay" for Coulter. Its Adam's apple is bigger than a grapefruit.

ianedwarddix February 10, 2011 at 10:37 am

If she stands sideways and sticks out her tongue, she looks like a zipper.

HistoriCat February 10, 2011 at 11:06 am

If this were Daily Kos someone would jump all over you for making fun of transvestites.

mumbly_joe February 10, 2011 at 10:22 am

I dunno, an awful lot of Republitards seem to use fecundity as a proxy for attractiveness, hence the intensely creepy crushes that right-wing pundits have had on Sarah Palin and Liz Cheney. Which I always thought was weird, because, fatigued vajayjays.

Boredw/Gravity February 10, 2011 at 11:28 am

That woman wouldn't have to go gay. Ann Coulter is more masculine than Jon Hamm.

BeWoot February 10, 2011 at 8:04 pm

I'd consider "going gay" for Ann Coulter too. Or at least, telling her I was gay would be among the options I'd consider in the extremely unlikely event she ever made a pass at me.

SorosBot February 10, 2011 at 10:06 am

"Three-legged stool" – is she talking about her dreams of a guy with a really big dick?

ManchuCandidate February 10, 2011 at 10:09 am

Barry Obamar!

weejee February 10, 2011 at 10:07 am

It's the shits, but whenever I see a stool I think of Bachmann.

ManchuCandidate February 10, 2011 at 10:12 am

Bachman/Stool 2012!!!

Monsieur_Grumpe February 10, 2011 at 10:40 am

Isn’t it traditional for the first name to be the one with more intelligence and personality?

ManchuCandidate February 10, 2011 at 11:04 am

True, but the Stool doesn't have a birf certificate.

DashboardBuddha February 10, 2011 at 10:22 am

Great…now I have an image of a turd with three legs scampering away like the baby critter in Alien.

widestanceroman February 10, 2011 at 10:37 am

Great also–now I have an image of it clinging to her face for dear life.

I've heard that we are investing in wind turbans.

EatsBabyDingos February 10, 2011 at 10:28 am

"Be like Reagan" is code for "dead for a decade." And she wants us to be the Saudi Arabia of religeous freedumbs.

CapnFatback February 10, 2011 at 10:30 am

Triple Crown, three-legged stool . . . ♫ sounds like someone is angling for a threesome . . . ♪

HistoriCat February 10, 2011 at 11:07 am

Her husband agreed to a three way but only if the third was a hot guy.

cheaphits February 10, 2011 at 10:35 am

Wouldn't Saudi Arabia be the "Saudi Arabia of energy"?

not that Dewey February 10, 2011 at 10:41 am

Indeed. US America is more like the Saudi Arabia of Lethargy.

Zvi_Bleindmeis February 10, 2011 at 11:32 am

The Saudi Arabia of energy drinks and snack foods.

Monsieur_Grumpe February 10, 2011 at 10:37 am

I was just down in the cafeteria and Bachmann was on the TeeVee spewing this stuff. The extension of my middle finger is apparently an involuntary reflex now.

I now know how Pavlov’s dogs felt.

GOPCrusher February 10, 2011 at 12:49 pm

Why do you hate our troops?

mayor_quimby February 10, 2011 at 10:49 am

Isn't 3 the minimum number of possible legs to make a stool, and the least stable stool possible?
Yeah, that about fits CPAC

Zvi_Bleindmeis February 10, 2011 at 11:37 am

The current stool has one leg, she implies. And not much stability, she demonstrates.

AddHomonym February 10, 2011 at 10:49 am

Bachmann is the Bachmann of dumb.

hagajim February 10, 2011 at 10:57 am

If Obama wanted to be like Reagan he'd sign a balanced budget amendment….maybe I'm fucking wrong, but didn't asswad Ronnie Raygun spend this country into massive debt? WTF is she talking about?

DaRooster February 10, 2011 at 11:19 am

Yep, balanced… as in "Fuck the POOR!"

Just like before!

GOPCrusher February 10, 2011 at 12:49 pm

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

hagajim February 10, 2011 at 10:59 am

“Three-legged stool tools… won’t fall over easily.” – There…fixed.

KenLayIsAlive February 10, 2011 at 11:00 am

I don't want to hear Bachmann saying "Let's Roll" unless she's she's about to die in a fiery plane crash.

In other words, I want to hear her say it later today.

SorosBot February 10, 2011 at 11:04 am

Maybe she just means we're lying about how much oil we have too.

JimmyCarlBlack February 10, 2011 at 11:11 am

Triple crown, three-legged stool–these are just variations of a Cleveland Steamer, right?

nounverb911 February 10, 2011 at 11:14 am

If we are the Saudi Arabia of energy does that mean we are a Muslin country now?

Troubledog February 10, 2011 at 11:23 am

I am the Saudi Arabia of ennui.

MrsBiggTime February 10, 2011 at 11:43 am

I was watching on CSPAN and noticed that as she mentioned "stool" there was a little froth o' Santorum in the corner of her mouth.

Callyson February 10, 2011 at 11:44 am

“A three-legged stool… won’t fall over easily.”
I don't know…that third leg seems to have knocked down several Republicans lately, Chris Lee being the latest…

nounverb911 February 10, 2011 at 11:49 am

“Let’s roll!”

Having successfully overthrown the hijackers, Bachmann now wants to overthrow the muslin president.

yellowerdog February 10, 2011 at 11:59 am

Q. How can you fit Bachman, Palin and O'Donnell on a 3 legged stool?
A. Turn it over

mourningnmerica February 11, 2011 at 1:03 am

Today's winner.

“If the president wanted to be like Ronald Reagan,”

He'd take more naps.

Redhead February 10, 2011 at 4:05 pm

But only if it's in his horoscope that day.

MLHencken February 10, 2011 at 12:29 pm

Is Mr. Bachmann brave enough to push in Mrs. Bachmann's stool? Inquiring Wonketeers want to know.

alfred light February 10, 2011 at 2:12 pm

Two Bachmanns, One Cup.

ttommyunger February 10, 2011 at 12:35 pm

Lets just be thankful the Rightards don't have an attractive, intelligent, articulate, sane spokesman to front for them. We, as Liberals, are blessed by the foibles and shortcomings of our enemies.

joobajooba February 10, 2011 at 12:41 pm

And her Chevy Cobalt is the Cadillac of fine cars.

Who's watching your kids, Michelle?

OzoneTom February 10, 2011 at 1:30 pm

They're upstairs playing with their Bedbug Farm™.

sweetcommunist February 10, 2011 at 1:34 pm

Jesus.

bagofmice February 10, 2011 at 1:03 pm

So three legs of shit rolling into a crown is what I should think of when you say conservative. Nice!

sweetcommunist February 10, 2011 at 1:35 pm

Michele Bachmann is the Saudi Arabia of metaphors.

HempDogbane February 10, 2011 at 5:14 pm

Minnpost's Daily Glean mentions the Bachmann speech and links to "Jack Stuff and the Scurrilous Wags" at Wonkette. I think they're playing at the Turf Club next weekend.

BeWoot February 10, 2011 at 8:05 pm

A three-legged stool sample would generate considerable excitement in the lab.

miss_grundy February 10, 2011 at 11:45 pm

I should look it up but does she represent Joe McCarthy's old congressional district? Because the people who voted this broad into office are really, really dumb.

MrFizzy February 11, 2011 at 9:13 am

I had a three-legged stool this morning – it made a brief speech about Reagan and Saudi Arabia before saying "let's roll" and disappearing. I named it Michelle.
