Guys, I don’t know about you, but I’m starting to think maybe we should vote for her! Like, as a hilarious goof!
“Haha, you guys are hilarious.” – the rest of the world
That’s what it would be like. No one would get anything done at the G8 summit because it would just be wall-to-wall high fives and people congratulating America on the great joke.
(Thanks for the tip, Kevan!)

It might be inappropriate to use a German word here, but sometimes I just loooove schadenfreude.

Dankeshein.
Growing up, I was a great Chutes and Ladders player. Holler at me, Mister President!
Michele Bachmann – #1 Goy rights advocate
Why do they need their own special rights? I heard you can just pray the goy away.
once again, she’s speaking in code. i believe “choot-spa” is another name for Planned Parenthood. she’s linking stimulus money to abortions! [ps. I got an A+ in Prof. Professorson's Conspiracy Theories class]
I didn’t make this.
On behalf of Minnesota, I feel the need to say oh dear. You know, apologies just aren’t going to cut it anymore, huh? We will start self-flagellating as penance shortly.
No more drinks for you guys. That’s it, I’m cutting you off.
Well, we are already taking care of that. no worries. since the Gov’t is shut down here, Mill/Coor’s, cant renew their license to sell booze in MN. If it drags on there will be no more cigarettes either.
isnt betty whites character on golden girls from minnesota? what other connections can you divine?
She is, from St. Olaf. Also from Minnesota: your favorite, Prince.
NNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also from Minnesota: Rachel Leigh Cook, Josh Hartnett, Bob Dylan, The Coen Brothers, F Scott Fitzgerald, Garrett Hedlund
…there’s more…I’ll think of them…
Ahem.
You’re welcome, universe.
Mitch Hedberg, I believe.
You guys get an infinite pass for electing Jesse Ventura
Remember that time she tried to say “mishegoss” and it came out sounding like “Slavery had a disastrous impact on African-American families, yet sadly a child born into slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in a two-parent household than was an African-American baby born after the election of the USA’s first African-American President?”
This quote is remarkable for its sheer weirdness. These words, together, make sense in her brain? What a weird brain!
Check out Ms. Cool Brain, everybody.
the counter point to that little number is “yeah but if your dad is tracy morgan and you’re gay you might be better off to not have him around because HE IS GOING TO STAB YOU and/or JOKE ABOUT IT!!!!” which is worse?
A Joke > Slavery
Depends on the joke…
this can never be talked about enough.
To be fair chutzpah is a Jew word, and saying it correctly makes you a socialist
when matt taibibi (sp?) did that rolling stone bit on michelle bach-man (which was plagiarized?) and he made that point that the more she is made fun of by effette liberal blogger snobs the more the redneck hater demographic loves her, that little bit reminded me of the scene in the first star wars movie where carrie fisher is telling either darth vader or that other dude (grand moff tarken?) “The more you tighten your grip the more star systems will slip through your fingers!”
Rad point I just made there. Enjoy it.
I’m upvoting this, but for Alderaan reasons
I upvoted Hoth of you.
It seems not a Dagobah when I don’t upvote all you guys.
Please stop. I can’t Endor any more of these puns.
I just may have to Ewok away.
as long as you are updating my rad sense of all things star wars (old school version only, before the dark times, before george lucas chose the quick and easy path of the CGI garbage), let me dust off this old joke I wrote and originally posted here to the videogum commentator web section:
What did George Michael say to the star wars themed jukebox?
“I find your lack of Faith disturbing.”
Ahhhh?
I meant upvoting not updating, duh wilber
TO YOUR ORIGINAL POINT: I am sorry to say that I actually believe that Bachmann (and Palin and probably others) purposefully introduce these verbal gaffes into their memorized talking points in order to be criticized for something irrelevant (while appealing to their fanbase of xenophobes) in order to (1) keep the spotlight on themselves and to (2) deflect attention from things that actually matter. I further posit that they learned this trick from GWB saying “nucular” all the time and it fucking drives me crazy that I think that they are intentionally doing this, so let’s instead talk about George Lucas’ restraint in the prequels in that he could have made Mace Windu Lando Calrissian’s dad but didn’t.
to your point, that is like saying coca cola deliberately introduced a crappy new coke in order to have this terrible negative buzz and PR disaster was all just an elaborate nefarious scheme to create buzz for classic coke. They were not that dumb and they were not that smart.
as far as george lucas restraint, as the red letter media guy said, we should be grateful we didnt have baby han solo
That’s pretty far down the crafty Republican conspiracy rabbit hole for my taste. I think she says “choot-spa” for the same reason people say “eye-rack” or “eye-talian”. Good old fashioned American willful ignorance.
Also, Mace Windu was not revealed as Lando’s father because in the next trilogy we find out that it’s the other way around and Lando is a time traveler.
it wouldn’t surprise me if this was true. i mean, so, so much of bush was really calculated- he had a fucking texas accent for chrissakes, and he is a goddamned yankee blue blood if ever there was a yankee blueblood! i heard somewhere awhile ago that bush was also really different in the texas primary against ann richards- that he was ruthlessly practiced and smart and demolished her. and that everyone was surprised that when he went national he went all “aw-shucks-i’m-just-an-average-man-mr-smith-goes-to-washington” schtick. i actually tried to hunt down the debate tapes but i couldn’t find them. can any texas monsters back that up?
basically we get the politicians that we want. they’re very manufactured people, in this fucked up way. raplh reed basically said once that the new republican party was going to be made out of school board warriors- like he’d rather have 10,000 conservative school board members than 10 conservative congressmen- and that’s exactly where she came from.
While there may be some validity to the whole “practiced gaffes” thing, but chutzpah is actually a weird word to pronounce and I would probably screw it up or just avoid it all together.
On the other end of liberal bloggers ripping her to shreds: I don’t really think chutzpah is a thing to rip someone to shreds over, or all that embarrassing. Much more embarrassing is the fact that Michelle Bachmann is an asshole and doesn’t understand what governance means.
I thought I was solo in my appreciation of this comment, but I guess it had more force than I realized.
Yoda man!
Whoops wrong reply ugh ugh ugh.
Here are why we can’t vote for these people, in pseudo-Yiddish terms:
Barack Obama- Too much “chut-spa”
Joe Lieberman- Celebrates “Chon-akkah”
Sarah Palin- quit her chob as governor of “Chalaska”
John Boehner- Cries a lot, becomes easily “Fort Klamped”
Mitt Romney- Quite handsome; has an extremely distracting “touch-us”
Tim Pawlenty- Does not seem intelligent and sounds like a “shlamm-ale”
“Remember Fort Klamped.” Tey-has State Motto
See, I’m that asshole that always corrects people when they mispronounce something (I do it out of love!). I doubt I would have made it through her point before shutting her up and making her pronounce it correctly.
Today’s to-do list:
1) Get the Jewish vote (nailed it)
Hey, kids. Way back in 2000, a bunch of people in certain liberal circles thought it would really teach everyone a lesson if George W. Bush were elected because he was clearly an idiot, and if we let the dummies have this one election, the nation would never elect another idiot to office again. Heck, certain people even thought that electing an idiot like Bush would galvanize liberals and strengthen the Democratic party. Plus, since Clinton left the country on strong fiscal footing, four years of a bozo in office couldn’t hurt the country THAT MUCH, could it?
I guess I’m just saying “please be careful what you joke about doing when you joke about voting Bachmann into office”. I will never, EVER, take the position again that “it can’t get much worse” after enduring the past twelve years of politics.
were there really people who voted for bush with that reasoning? i can’t remember that ever coming up. i do remember a lot of people saying that he could never really get elected because he was such a dummy, which is a different discussion. and i also remember people going with nader because it was finally time to vote for the best candidate since there was no way gore could really lose, right? also, bush is a dumb man, and she’s a dumb lady, and the fact of the matter is she’s not going to get the same swing at the plate because of it. she’s just here to entertain while some other good ole boy gathers the nazgul and makes a real game of it.
Years ago, when Family Guy’s first season came out on DVD, I was listening to the commentary (in between all my dates with ALL the ladies in my high school, no duh) and Seth McFarlane talked about a joke featuring a future where George W. Bush was president. The premise being that the idea of Bush actually being president was so far-out and ridiculous, that it was comedic gold. Am I saying that Seth McFarlane got George W. Bush elected? Yes. Absolutely.
Am I also saying that Carlos Mencia’s act and Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris’s stand-up routines are suspiciously similar? Also yes.
When I was living in New York, this idea actually did come up – especially among the Nader voters in order to justify the argument that Bush could legitimately win because Nader was splitting the progressives in the Democratic party. I was among those Nader supporters who really and honestly thought Gore and Bush were the equally terrible choices for the country, and would echo the sentiment that it was good if Bush won – that it would teach the country a lesson and things would correct themselves in 2004.
I am not, however, saying that I was right in thinking any of those things. I was excited by a progressive push in politics, and naive to think that things could swing so far to the right so quickly.
being excited about a progressive push was your first mistake! the overwhelming largeness, deep political divisions, and stupid electoral college means we’re always going to have to settle for mediocre at best and horrifying at worst.
I place a lot of the blame on the primaries system. People who vote in political parties’ primaries tend to be the most dedicated followers of that particular platform, and so candidates need to cater to those voters. In the general election, however, candidates then need to backpedal and present themselves as blandly and middle-of-the-road to cater to most of the American electorate, who are usually pretty apathetic.
Do I sound like a musical robot?
Upvote just for your avatar.
Thanks…but I think its a bit more-ish.
That Michelle Bachmann, she sure has some brass ko-jonnies.

That is how we pronounce it in England. Maybe she is trying to inject a bit of Trans-Atlantic glamour into her appeal, like Madonna, or Gwyneth Paltrow. She tries so hard for you bloody coastal elites, and this is how you repay her.
