Michele Bachmann Calls A Spade A Spade

by Rebecca Schoenkopf

"Go to sleep"Does Michele Bachmann lie in bed at night thinking up clever new ways to drop casual racism into her bon mots? Well, what else would she be doing in bed? First, Michele drops a little polling science on Bob Schieffer. What happened in 2010, Michele? “In 2010 women went Republican instead of Democrat and they will this time as well.”

But Schieffer, weirdly, pushed back! “With all due respect, Congresswoman,” he said, “the polls do not suggest that.”

“Well the polls showed,” Bachmann riposted, “and the ballot box showed in 2010, women went with the Republican.” 2010 today, 2010 tomorrow, 2010 for ever! That is just how elections work, she rests her case! But why will they go with Daddy Warbucks this time? Blah blah blah Bachmanncakes, “With all due respect to the president, he’s not competent to deal with the economy,” Bachmann said. “Mitt Romney is competent in spades.” No no no, Congresswoman. Mitt Romney is not black, he is Messican.

Here, watch Michele Bachmann’s eyes twirl around their sockets like Kaa, the snake in The Jungle Book.

And I am calling a dumb cunt a dumb cunt.

boobookitteh May 7, 2012 at 10:57 am

With all due respect, of course.

FakaktaSouth May 7, 2012 at 11:06 am

I just called her a cunt too, then I thought, ugh, she's worser than that even. What's under a cunt? A taint? She's a dumb-ass taint. (there, I got all three parts into one comment.)

Barb May 7, 2012 at 11:17 am

Fakakta, you never cease to amaze me with your excellence.

Pop_Socket May 7, 2012 at 11:11 am

Bill Maher, is that you?

Barb May 7, 2012 at 10:52 am

Is Michele hoping to be the VEEP choice? I'm pretty sure that conservative Mitt is going to ask liberal Mitt to be his running mate. It's two, two Mitts in one!

James Michael Curley May 7, 2012 at 11:22 am

One is a breath Mitt the other is a laxative Mitt.

Barb May 7, 2012 at 11:30 am

Someone got the joke! I feel good now.

Lascauxcaveman May 7, 2012 at 11:24 am

I'm pretty sure his species reproduces by mitosis, so if you've seen him eating a lot lately, you'll see him split off a veep any day now.

Boojum May 7, 2012 at 11:42 am

Is that what they mean by "sister-wives?"

James Michael Curley May 7, 2012 at 11:43 am

That may happen. Unfortunately along the way Mitt is experiencing a reverse mitosis of the Cerebral cortex. This phenomena has only previously been observed in amoeba, some jelly fish and drill sergeants.

redarmyzombie May 9, 2012 at 12:56 am

That's odd, I could have sworn they came from pods on the solar winds….

nounverb911 May 7, 2012 at 10:52 am

I thought Bachmann was only activated by the Queen of Diamonds.

Pop_Socket May 7, 2012 at 11:11 am

Leave Marcus out of this.

Tundra Grifter May 7, 2012 at 12:10 pm

Ole Crazy Eyes is really more like the Queen of Hearts – a word means precisely what she says it does; no more and no less.

glasspusher May 7, 2012 at 5:19 pm

Queen of Diamonds (noun): Gingrich, Callista

"Women are intelligent and competent…"

except apparently when it comes to making decisions about their health care which their bosses are more competent to make and also they don't deserve equal pay because men are the head of the household.

Callyson May 7, 2012 at 11:52 am

"Women are intelligent and competent…"

Which is why, contrary to what Crazy Eyes would have us believe, they did *not* vote overwhelmingly for the Reeps in 2010–it was only by a slight margin, and it was when they were smart enough to claim that they were going to focus like a laser on jobs…

mavenmaven May 7, 2012 at 10:54 am

She meant "poles", a subject Marcus thinks a lot about.

AlterNewt May 7, 2012 at 10:54 am

I'm sure that she's a very nice woman and I wish her all the best.

boobookitteh May 7, 2012 at 10:57 am

Bless her heart.

Doktor StrangeZoom May 7, 2012 at 11:15 am

I'll be praying for her.

RedneckMuslin May 7, 2012 at 10:56 am

Even though republicans have no hearts, someone should club this bitch.

Knowing Cheney, I figured it was from an Iraqi child or one went "missing" from Walter Reed.

She's always waiting for Marcus to deal her in, unaware he's just not that into poke'er.

not that Dewey May 7, 2012 at 11:17 am

Pass.

Biel_ze_Bubba May 7, 2012 at 1:41 pm

The Dems never seem to figure out that the GOP has a void in hearts.

actor212 May 7, 2012 at 10:57 am

Really? She didn't a call a spade a "fucking nearer"? Then I applaud her new sense of sensitivity and diversity.

Come here a minute May 7, 2012 at 10:59 am

Michele Bachmann is not playing with a full deck.

actor212 May 7, 2012 at 11:04 am

Or a full dick.

ManchuCandidate May 7, 2012 at 11:00 am

She also believes Marcus is not gay and does not sleep with her because he is very tired after spending hours of research on Rentboy.com.

Dr. Nick Riviera May 7, 2012 at 11:14 am

He was just going there for instructions on how to get away from there!

James Michael Curley May 7, 2012 at 11:00 am

When will this alleged Congresswoman take her rightful place as the Supreme Matron of the Alabama Eastern Star? Her intellectual capacity extends to being able to separate the chocolate frosted cupcakes from the vanilla frosted ones and smile sweetly while her male cohorts screw the 'common folks on that side of the tracks".

Your move, Texas. Or rather, our move, since I am Texican.

Arizona just defunded Planned Parenthood. Old, dried up Governor signed it. Arizona may become a swing state. Shine on, you crazy diamond.

I swear, do you think PresO called her and thanked her for making his election campaign a tidge easier in AZ? Jan is a gift, I tells ya!

Mumbletypeg May 7, 2012 at 11:22 am

But Michele Bachmann says there is no war on women! I CAN"T HEAR YOU BOB SCHIEFFER LAALALALALA *plugs ears* *draws hair like curtains over her face*

FakaktaSouth May 7, 2012 at 11:01 am

FIRST of all – SOMEONE needs to teach this cunt the google – according to the first 10 articles I found, she's not only a wannabe racist fucktard, she is a fucking dumbass lying liar – even during the TeaParty Revolution of the like 29% of the total population that voted, women weren't all of a sudden a HUGE repub majority, or a majority at all –

according to the first abc article I found, she can brag about OLD women, but that's it –

"Women are voting 49-49 percent for Democratic vs Republican House candidates. President Obama won women by 13 points in 2008. This is the best for Republicans among women in national House vote in exit polls since 1982. Young women favor Democrats for the House, (61 percent Democrat to 36 per cent Republican among women 18-29 years old) but the gap closes for the 30-64 age group (64 percent of women), and reverses for women over 65 (41 per cent Democrat vs. 57 per cent Republican)."

Chichikovovich May 7, 2012 at 11:09 am

"And among women who had an over 50% actuarial likelihood of dying before November 2012, the Republicans did even better! Be afraid, Obummer!"

fartknocker May 7, 2012 at 11:33 am

In the Fartknocker household, there's me, my 51 year old wife, and 2 daughters, both whom were raised as Democrats. Daughter 1 is a nurse and her husband is deployed in Afghanistan. Daughter 2 is working towards her MS in Chemical Engineering. We all sat around the Sunday dinner table yesterday and concluded that the current misogynistic strategy and Planned Parenthood attacks has pissed them off and damn near everyone of their female counterparts to the point they will vote for our current President over the current GOP candidate.

If Michelle's strategy is to foster votes from really old conservatives, she should keep it up. In my house, the conservative and compassionate females have extremely well calibrated bullshit detectors.

GOPCrusher May 7, 2012 at 1:17 pm

She's just sticking to the Tea Bagger Talking Points, that clearly state that the President will be replaced and a solid majority of the Senate and House will also be in Republiklan hands, ushering in the new Golden Age of America.
And if they don't do it with votes, then the Hand of God will come down from Heaven and make it so.

FakaktaSouth May 7, 2012 at 3:27 pm

I have been meaning to tell you forever how amazingly happy your avatar makes me.

Also, I like to imagine that if the hand of God ever truly did come down, it would slap the shit out of Michele Bachmann. Just POW – right in the kisser.

AlterNewt May 7, 2012 at 7:00 pm

Because Bachmann is so far out there?

She1ey just tossed a bigger word salad than Lou Sarah's previous best. Wasilla's Wombatty, a new bar has been set at the Thuglican buffet, are you ready?

Schmannnity May 7, 2012 at 11:02 am

Her next dog whistles:

Obama's monkeying with the economy for three and one-half years has not worked.

Mitt's a coondog that can hunt.

Mitt can win–he's no dark horse candidate.

Obama's "chuck a spear against the wall and see if it sticks" economic plan is a failure.

actor212 May 7, 2012 at 11:07 am

Obama's tap-dancing around his failures.

Too. Also.

rickmaci May 7, 2012 at 11:14 am

The Obama Administration economic policies are nothing but a minstrel show.

Talking Point salad, anyone? If anyone isn't still hurling from having read the Newt-speedo comment last thread back just avoid looking into She1ey's eyes around the 3:58 mark. You're welcome!

widestanceromance May 7, 2012 at 11:19 am

I refuse to watch her speak. I am afraid to perceive her with more than one sense at a time.

Also, these clowns (Bachmann, Santorum, Gingrich, etc.) ooze Talking Point Slime. It just slides out of them.

James Michael Curley May 7, 2012 at 11:27 am

Newt and Speedo in the same phrase will go a long way to helping me stay on my diet this year.

Yep, women are going to vote for the party that wants to force them to be second-class citizens whose wombs are government property; that makes sense.

Romney is "competent in spades"? What…he was an effective overseer? Did an ancestor work for Tom Jefferson?

I hate this cunt with the heat of a 1000 suns. I can't wait for Marcus to get caught with a rentboy.

BaldarTFlagass May 7, 2012 at 11:08 am

This reminds me, the new bitch I adopted, I need to get her spayed.

Let us not speak of the Prez's competence, let us speak of Paul Coocoo-bannanas Ryan's shiny-eyed competence.

Thorazine fail.

JustPixelz May 7, 2012 at 11:10 am

"Mitt Romney is competent in spades."

It could be that Romney is competent "in spades" when it comes to the economy. But he has promised the Tea Party he'd set aside those abilities. Instead he will be Bush's third term: more deficit-aggravating tax cuts, more inequity, less financial and physical safety regulation, more unfunded wars.

Let's put it this way: For Mitt, corporations are people and they need single payer, government insurance so they don't get sick.

Biel_ze_Bubba May 8, 2012 at 8:09 pm

Mitt has very good relations with the spades.

DaRooster May 7, 2012 at 11:15 am

“With all due respect to the president, he’s not competent to deal with the economy,” Bachmann said.

Yeah, unlike the guy before him… you know the one who bankrupted every thing he ever touched (like my nation). After all, the President doesn't get to have anyone help him on any issues… like advisers or something.

freakishlywrong May 7, 2012 at 11:25 am

And "with all due respect" has become utterly meaningless with their ilk. Fuckers.

DaRooster May 7, 2012 at 11:30 am

"… and he's a blah negro… not that there is anything wrong with that."

Steverino247 May 7, 2012 at 11:15 am

Who does she blow to get booked on these programs? Seriously, they have to know she's batshit crazy. Do they do it for laughs or something? It's just cruel.

Radiotherapy May 7, 2012 at 11:23 am

You mean cruel to us? Amirite?

Steverino247 May 7, 2012 at 2:42 pm

That depends. If she's not disturbed, it's cruel to us to put her on TV as if she has something meaningful to say. If she's truly disturbed, it's cruel to her, too. Either way, we lose.

GOPCrusher May 7, 2012 at 1:21 pm

You have to give Michele credit, she will actually go off the Fox farm and do interviews.
She just thinks that they are laughing with her instead of at her.

Chow Yun Flat May 7, 2012 at 11:17 am

Bachmann-speak: “Mitt Romney is competent in spades.”

English translation: Mitt Romney is a dumb as I am.

Baconzgood May 7, 2012 at 11:18 am

I really do miss her.

flamingpdog May 7, 2012 at 11:18 am

Why is this women still on the Sunday morning news talk shows? WHY is this woman still on the Sunday morning news talk shows??? When Ron Raygun emptied out the mental hospitals, was there some clause that mandated (no Marcus jokes here, please) that schizophrenics had to be on Sunday morning news shows????

Fortunately I'm on a fast ahead of oral surgery at 2 PM, so there's nothing to vomit after listening to 4 minutes of her oral drivel.

freakishlywrong May 7, 2012 at 11:27 am

Because we are a "center-right" nation and she currently represents that "centrist" viewpoint, don'tchaknow.

chascates May 7, 2012 at 11:19 am

So public discourse has descended to the point where a half-wit bible thumper gets media attention (see also Allen West, Louie Gohmert, et. al) lies about the economy and women's rights?

crybabyboehner May 7, 2012 at 11:20 am

If she could afford a real snake, do you think she would be appearing on a show like that?

She is a replicant, for Chrissake!

cheetojeebus May 7, 2012 at 11:20 am

oh, for christ's sake, just shut the fuck up.
I can't believe I wasted a minute and a half listening to this cunt.

Also, Tracy Morgan is competent in spades, too.

What chutzpah!

Now that she has no chance of winning, like Santorum, I am enjoying watching all the ex-candidates and their fucking political party implode.

So she's just saying don't renig?

BarackMyWorld May 7, 2012 at 11:52 am

Please stop inviting this woman to be on serious news shows. I know there's a good chance she'll say something crazy and get your show some free publicity, but so would bringing back Connie Chung and slipping her some LSD.

SheriffJoeBiden May 7, 2012 at 11:59 am

Don't hate Michele. Hate the people who vote for her, the party that so values her useful idiocy, and the degraded system that prevents anyone with any credibility and influence from saying what needs to be said about her and everyone like her: That she is nothing more than a cute little sticker that covers the conservatives' true agenda. Which is: "Fuck you all, fuck your kids, fuck the planet, I love money and status and I'm gonna get as much as I fucking well can." That is it. Full stop. That's their entire agenda. If you think I'm being unfair, make friends with a few wealthy conservatives and they'll flat tell you themselves, eventually.

valthemus May 7, 2012 at 2:01 pm

This is why I kind of admire the conservatives here in Maryland — they're so baldly greedy. They also tend to be a little nuts, which is why I wonder how they're making so much money.

Wile E. Quixote May 7, 2012 at 12:06 pm

I still want to do an awesome video of ABBA's Gimme, Gimme, Gimme (a man after midnight) starring Michele and Marcus Bachman. I think a scene where they're both singing the chorus and staring lustfully at the same well-muscled and incredibly hung multi-ethnic guy (I'm thinking someone like Coby Bell, Mark Dacascos or Vin Diesel) here, would make it a huge hit.

owhatever May 7, 2012 at 12:06 pm

Must have been a really slow news day for the producer to dredge up ole Crazy Eyes to be interviewed on TV about anything…anything!

Tundra Grifter May 7, 2012 at 12:15 pm

Biel_ze_Bubba May 8, 2012 at 8:07 pm

Apparently, it's a world where countries can be run like corporations. You run them for profit, and you can, umm, "fire" the citizens who aren't providing you with the services you require.

This has actually been tried many times; see, e.g., Mugabe, Amin, Bokassa, Abacha, Kabila, etc. etc. etc.
