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.

Mitt has very good relations with the spades.
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?
