It is arbitrarily time once again to dust off one of our favorite 2011 primary season word games, What the Hell Is Michele Bachmann Talking About, starring everyone’s favorite low-hanging Republican fruitcake. What have you got for our players today, beloved Minnesota state loon? Let’s jump right in and have your thought fragments on Barack Obama’s mild new proposal to boost oversight of oil futures trading in an attempt to address high gas prices: “This is just about waving a tar baby in the air and saying that something else is a problem.” Shit, it’s a tough one. So… let’s say “this” refers to the attempt to lower gas prices, and although there is no indication of who is the idiot madly “waving” derogatory terms around “in the air” we think she means “Obama,” since he is a racist. The rest of the sentence, “saying that something else is a problem,” is such a preponderance of vagueness that it is like a multivariable calculus equation with a wide variety of possible solutions that all make your head hurt. We really have no idea. Your checkmate again, Michele. Let’s have another!
How about the next sentence from the same interview:
“I have never seen a more irresponsible president who is infantile in the way that he continually blames everyone else for his failure to first diagnose the problem and second to address the problem. It’s always everyone else’s fault.”
There we go, a much easier one. Silly Obama, she is saying, always blaming “everyone else” when we all know that it is only homosexuals who are to blame, for anything. [The Hill]

Needs more Uncle Remus?
She didn't say tar baby! She said tar PAPER!
Why are you libruls trying to cram words down her throat?
Tar Blahs?
Why are you libruls trying to cram words down her throat?
Uh, because a railway sleeper won't fit?
If Marcus would spend more time cramming his shicklgruber down her throat instead of up gay men's butts, she wouldn't have to resort to these desperate measures to get attention.
would she notice?
"Marcus, is there spinach in my teeth?"
No, she said "Tah Bahbah".

Have you seen us?
Uncle Remus?
We look pretty sharp in these clo'es
Unless we get sprayed with a hose
It ain't bad in the day
If they squirts it your way
'Cept in the winter, when it's froze
But it's hard when it hits on your nose
So Miche!e, who's fault is it that no one voted for you?
Satan, obvs.
Is Michele channeling Sarah Palin now? Love those wandering sentences, heading off in one direction then, whoa! over here! No wait, let's go there! Obama bad. The End.
Nah, all the cool kidz are channeling K-Lo for their conservative glossolalia needs.
COOL kids don't DO K-Lo. Obvs.
Is Michele channeling Sarah Palin now
Other way around, oddly enough: yesterday, Palin borrowed She1ey's three-legged stool imagery, which metaphor I had already dismissed as full of FAIL.
Still, Palin didn't quite take it to Bachmann's level of incompetence as when the latter began outlining her "three" legs of talking-points, then kept going to four…
As usual, Saint Ronnie of Santa Barbara was way ahead of the power curve on stool legs…in his I-quit speech, Frothy (remember that guy?) mentioned the Four Legged Stool of Ronald Reagan. It's the only real conservative approach to avoid falling off your stool, and no safety net required!
Speaking of Frothy, does our very own FROTHY have a new name now?
Yes.
Uh … yes, darlin'. I surely do. (Kisses the Raven on each feathery cheek)
Personally, if I were Santorum I'd avoid talking about stool.
Yeah, well, you're NOT Santorum. He's got nothing else BUT stool.
This is just about waving a tar baby in the air

Dr. Freud might point out her calling Obama infantile right after citing the tar baby. Methinks there's a connection, too.
Paging Freudian Slipz … white courtesy phone, please.
Well, eh, Marcus wouldn't care.
Obama: Please GOP, whatever you do, don't throw me into that second term!
Looks like we've got some competition for the "Who's Crazier Than Sarah Palin" contest
All of them, Katie.
So President Obama is now blaming everyone else for things that are his fault? It beautifully complements his alleged apologies for everything — whatever he does that isn't covered under one accusation can surely be covered under its opposite.
The Ivy League white men at Goldman Sachs are OUTRAGED at being seen as tar babies.
Don't you get tar all over your scalp when you do that, tho?
I mean, sure, if you have eczema, that's great, but I always thought Michele had pretty nice hair and no flakes at all.
Well, at least not ON her scalp…
I am a moron and this is my wife
She's frosting a cake with a paper knife
All wut we got here's American-made
It's a little bit cheesy but nicely displayed
“This is just about waving a tar baby in the air and saying that something else is a problem.”
Why, that comment is not playing on racism at all!
Bitch.
The correct term in this context would be "jungle bunny".
Oh please, lay off the political correctness, will ya?
She went on to lambaste "those lazy porch monk–I mean, welfare queens."
We all know Clerks II reclaimed that word for white people.
like that song from Hair. But maybe you are all too young for Hair.
Well, they've already played the Mau Mau card. (See Dinesh D'Souza, Newt Gingrich.)
Should we set up a pool on when 'pickaninny' will be deployed?
I would not describe Michele Bachmann as a "psychedelic urchin".
I"m one of the oldz, but I still have my Hair.
And LOTS of it, ya furry li'l rodent.
Well I'm a colored spade, a nigger, a black nigger, A jungle bunny, jigaboo, etc, etc. Saw it in Chitown in the summer of love.
I lost one of my exes because I kept telling him he was an urban bunny, and I was the … you got it. Man had NO sensayuma.
The only problems infants have to diagnose are problems like "where's my nipple?" and "poo".
Ok, I share these problems. I admit it.
Because babies are cute. Duh!
I want you to take the blame for the problems, not come to me with solutions for them!
She raised 250 foster children! Sadly, there was never room for a tar baby.
She was paid to warehouse 250 foster children. Never confuse "foster" with "adopt"- there's a minor difference, as in "whales are not cockroaches, there's a minor difference"..
And paid very well, tax free, by the marxist Peoples Republic of Minnesota.
Michele Bachman's favorite song is ABBA's Gimme, Gimme, Gimme (A Man After Midnight). Not surprisingly this is also Marcus Bachman's favorite song by ABBA.
Tar Baby, Straw Men – messy combination but mixed together there's an ancient building in LA thats been standing for over 600 years.
For the tea-tards, no matter what the problem is, the ghey's are to blame and tax cuts for rich people will solve it
I thought tar babies were some kind of licorice candy
Do they teach any history or social studies in Iowa and Minnesota? How did MB get so clueless?
Liberty "University"
Being a stupid git is a profession these days- you don't think intelligent people get on fux snooze, do you? Where would be the sense in that? (Or the money…?)
Ol' Crazy Eyes is showing her kinder, gentler side…she really wanted to use spear chucker.
That's Doctor Spear Chucker to you, white bitch
You all are clearly being racist against white racist Americans!
You're the real racist for pointing that out. Wait… I'm lost.
It's easy to go down the rabbit hole.
Is this about tuition at UNC again?
Haha…when I was a kid, the UNC freshman basketball team was called the Tar Babies. I went to their games, which were free . I saw, among others, a young George Karl.
OT
Levon Helm has died. Is Ted Nugent next?
No, only good musicians seem to die lately.
/ wipes tear
Finally pulled into Nazareth. Last saw him in 2010.
Ted Nugent isn't worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Levon Helm.
Ted Nugent is the yellow stain left in Levon's underwear after he breathed his last.
I thought teh nuge was brown. No?
Yeah, longevity is in inverse proportion to talent. Think of comedy: Bob Hope and George Burns lived to 100, while Lenny Bruce and Andy Kaufman died very young. Won't get into Belushi and Farley.
Levon lived the biblical allotment plus one year. He would have appreciated that. Yes, let's not speak of Levon in the same breath as that asshole.
something, something something, niggardly, something, something something.
“I have never seen a more irresponsible president who is infantile in the way that he continually blames everyone else for his failure to first diagnose the problem and second to address the problem. It’s always everyone else’s fault.”
I seem to remember about 8 years of blaming Clinton.
And Reagan spent 8 years blaming Carter, 4 years longer than Carter was even in power.
And dang Clinton to heck and back for that dratted budget surplus.
So neither the tar baby nor the "something else" are really the problem? What is the problem Michelle?
And she doesn't even use a teleprompterz or play golf.
Michele Bachmann does not need to be ‘tar’d and feathered’ to resemble a looney bird. She already fits that bill.
"Infantile". That crosses some sort of line doesn't it?
Reverse psychomocology or not, I would happily throw crazy-face into a briar patch.
"This is just about a bunch of tigers chasing one another around a tree until they turn into butter. For pancakes. Next question?"
"I didn't mean that in a racist way – my uncle used to keep monkeys on his porch."
Barry would shrug off his name and 'Tar Baby' being in the same sentence. But, ooooo – so help you God if you mention Bachmann and 'crazy-eyes'.
What the hell does "waving a tar baby in the air" actually mean, for us sane and not-racist people??? The woman gets nuttier by the day.
What exactly is a tar baby?
always blaming “everyone else” when we all know that it is only homosexuals who are to blame, for anything
Well if the gheys would remove their dicks from America's oil wells.
Actually, I think she's complaining that they're lodged in Marcus' orifices.
How the fuck does she get even a single vote? Or Louis Gohmert, also?
I came up with a whole response to Michele calling the Pres a titty tar baby for addressing the gas price problem in the only real legislative way he possibly could. Then I got mad at myself for spending this much time dissecting the sentence she pooted out so that it some how was related to the current issues at hand. I HATE when I look so deeply in to such shallow ponds (or crazy eyes) when you know she just wanted to say a racist thing so people would send her money.
Gov. Jan Brewer has issued a statement saying she's outraged by the use of that extremely racist term, when everyone knows Obama is an Uncle Tom.
Michele: "All right, Mr. deMille, I'm ready for my close-up."
“This is just about waving a tar baby in the air and saying that something else is a problem."
First it's "drill baby drill". (Why OSHA allows babies to be used as drill bits is beyond me.) Now there is a baby covered with tar. And someone is waving him in the air? This really has to stop. As a nation, we are better than this.
Fuckin' goons…
For fuck's sake. What is it with old people and these goofy, racist ass expressions? Not one person thought in all the years they were slinging around "tar baby" that maybe, just maybe, it was super hella fucking racist?
She's really, really smart. She's calling Obama to task for not doing anything about all the problems of the world, including the price of oil in Saudi Arabia, and saying that if Ol' Uncle Remus would have had an abortion there wouldn't be a Tar Baby to wave around in the air for emphasis. Atta girl, One Ell, you're starting to make sense to all the voters in the state mental hospital.
DO YOUR FUCKING JOB, BITCH!
"Due to email volume, Representative Bachmann will only be able to answer emails from Minnesota's 6th district. Please enter your zip code below for verification…"
Yeah, that's the way to avoid harsh criticism. Coward.
You mean your zip-a-dee-doo-dah code?
+4, at that. I guess I could write her at her .gov email(?)
Edit: http://bachmann.house.gov/Email/
Enforcing laws to restrain speculators is pretty much actually attempting to solve a problem.
"Spades" and "tar babies". If you don't think she knows EXACTLY what she is saying in Wingtard code talk, you really are missing what is going on in the RepubliKKKlan party.
Code???? This is code? I guess the N- word is the only one that isn't code and when RIcky Santorum started to say it, people claimed he didn't
And she will claim she was just using non-racial common phrases. All in the same breath.
I'm starting to think the GOP is some sort of weird performance art that has gone on way too long.
Angry Black Lady has a funny, albeit suitably enraged, take on this:
Michele Bachmann, Tar Babies, and the Ni-CLANG! Event Horizon
The Homosexuals are behind everything.
//rimshot
The woman in the picture isn't even Michele Bachmann! I was a part of a contingent behind her car that year and we were laughing and wondered if she had to pay the stand-in.
Heh, heh; Michele who?
If only Disney would drag Song of the South out from the very back of the vault, slap a "Racist Shit Inside" sticker on the box and let us once again enjoy a classic movie from our youth.
Of course even with a non-racist reading of the term, what One L said still makes no sense.
Hugs 'n' kisses. How did you pass up the name "Austrian Warmblood'?
Boy, it's good to see y'all again. You know I don't have enough cash or class to know what the fuck an Austrian Warmblood is (I was in Australia when all that shit hit the fan, I think, or perhaps still discombobulated). I thought you were talking about der Goobernator Schwartzenegger, at first. (Yeah, ew. Srs ewage.)
Ew, so Marcus has a soft, green putz?
i thought she might mistake it for a toothpick
