Just who do you think Michele Bachmann might model her Presidency after? Perhaps watching her fawn over a recent President will provide us with a clue.
Jesus, that was disturbing.
One has to wonder if there had not been a crowd present exactly how Bachmann might have shown her affection for the Worst President Ever?
It is kind of bizarre that if the Teabaggers were honest about their frustration over what has happened to their country they would seek to have George Bush brought up on charges of treason, but I guess because he is white like them he gets a free pass.
Well if this is the guy that gets Bachmann's panties all wet, I have to imagine his two terms would serve as the blueprint for her own. As if we needed yet ANOTHER reason to dismiss this nutjob.

Guess she got herself all excited when you 'ain't getting any at home!!!'
ReplyDeleteThe white haired woman behind Bachmann is Virginia Foxx (R-NC) who is just as crazy and nasty as Bachmamm and the half term governor but because uf her age and ugliness does not have the exposure they do.
ReplyDeleteBill
I remember seeing this when it happened and wondering who let that woman near him. I didn't know she was a Congresswoman, just thought she was some giant, over-excited nut job with a very big mouth.
ReplyDeleteThis is what IMMEDIATELY comes to mind when I hear that woman's name. She would have played Tonsil Hockey right there on the floor if she could have gotten away with it.
ReplyDeleteThis needs to be on a loop, over and over again, no voiceover, just black and white screen asking if THIS is who should represent the "greatest nation on earth."
All I can say is, thank God Garaldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton were our first serious national office candidates of note.
ReplyDeleteNot these hair whitening freakjobs like Sarah and Michele.
As a rule, I am not watching these offered video's anymore - but whether or not he was massaging her or she him, if it is anything like the POTUS rubbing German Chancellor Merkel:

Thanks, but no thanks.
Not one to be overshadowed, Sarah's going to pole dance for Bush the next opportunity she has. She needs to do something big and desperate to get back on the fundies radar again.
ReplyDeleteAn article about Bristol FILLED WITH LIES!!
ReplyDeleteLook at these quotes from that LYING STUPID IDIOT plastic looking Leno-chin Bristol!! She just doesn't know when to shut the F up!

The story about Keith might be coming out.
Women don't appreciate sexist remarks about other women Jesse. No matter what woman you're talking about. Can you please leave that out of it?

ReplyDelete"The story about Keith might be coming out."

Keith who?? What story are you referring to??
The first Keith that popped into my mind was Keith Olbermann and my thought was 'What?' as I sat with a mystified look on my face.
Offended Anon @ 1:23 p.m. - I'll bet that more than half of IM'ers are women, and we don't feign outrage all of a sudden at 'sexist' jokes.
ReplyDeleteAnon @ 1:16 p.m.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link.
"I've grown up a lot. I'm 20 years old now," Palin said in a phone interview.
Wow, sounds like Mama Grizzly when faced with a recall in her first term as Wasilla Mayor ("I grew tremendously that year." - no she didn't.)
"I think we have some of the thickest skin," said Palin.
(Sigh. Why do they insist on painting big fat KICK ME signs on their back?)

I think Keith is the father of Levi and Mercede.. he has been linked to some unknown and quieted scandal..
ReplyDeleteI think it must be Keith Johnston that a story about must be coming out? Hopefully soon?

When those you speak of play their 'sex' card as we've seen Palin do ad nauseam, my attitude is if you want to play in the 'big' club -- Suck it up and deal with it. To scream sexist is 'weak' in some circumstances and Palin and Bachmann wanna play in the 'big' club -- SUCK IT UP. They toss the bombs against the males and therefore they deserve everything back.
I'm 56 year old female and I'd call you out face to face. This sexist shit is total bullshit.
Palin would fuck on stage if she knew it would further her mission so get off your polly anna pulpit and frig off.
As for Bachmann - in that video her mind was she wanted to ram her tongue down Bush's throat.
Sorry Anon 1:23 -- Grow the fuck up. Go play on the kiddy blogs as clearly you indicate you lack too much to play here.
You're probably one of those that stand beind those same women and cheer when they go at the men.
Bye Bye Little Child. Enjoy your kiddy boards.
Offended Anon @ 1:23--
ReplyDeleteI'm a woman, and what offends me is Skank Hoes using their skankiness to get ahead in life instead of their brains and actual skills. It may seem sexist because all the focus is on these two women right now, but when the Mass Senator Scott Brown's beefcake photos showed up, there was plenty of scrutiny there, too.
Of course, he didn't continue to wear his hot pink shorts in public, or wink, or flirt, or lick his lips seductively, or wear clothes only a hooker would find acceptable. He appears to have grown up, which is something I'm not sure Caribou Barbie will ever accomplish.

ReplyDeleteThat's why I posted my comment that I did at 12:22 - the first comment.

Anon @ 2:15--
ReplyDeleteI find it rather odd that Marcus always seems to have his hands on her, guiding her away from the crowds, sometimes actually pulling her.
And Bill, you are completely right about Virginia Foxx. Virginia Foxx is that crazy old lady who lives to spread gossip all over town. My sister lives in her district, and I've tried to tell her how crazy the woman is. But no, she's an "R", so that's all that matters.
I live near Foxx's district, and she is indeed a hateful representative. Can you believe that woman was an educator? Community college president or adminstrator. My representative is bad and needs to retire (Coble) but at least he doesn't embarass me on the national news, like Foxx does. Don't judge NC by these folks. NC was blue by 14,000 votes in 2008. Then in 2010...well, thanks to our Republican state legislature, I'm out of a job. This is what happens when people are careless about their vote, or don't bother to.
ReplyDeleteI have to differ that Bush is the "Worst President Ever". I sadly did not become actively involved in politics until my oldest (now 21 yr old) son challenged me on my political views.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I did not have the time to research and understand because I was a mother raising my children while my (now) ex-husband traveled the world for business. Now my oldest is about to finish his senior year at a nationally recognized university with a 3.98 GPA (in Political Science & Journalism). The reason I mention this is because this son was the replica if the stereotypical republican, Michael Keaton from "Family Ties". A person grows from knowledge (both him and I).
While I acknowledge being politically ignorant - my son has made me a well-informed person.
The politician that Sarah loves to emulate - Ronald Regan – SORRY - he is the worst president ever. Bush just happens to be the most incompetent. The historians and media may want to “idolize” Regan, but if you look at history – he is responsible for the beginning of the catastrophe our country is now facing. Yea Sarah – he’s your hero – which really says it all! History cannot be made up to suit one’s purpose.
If you thought that was disturbing, then check out this clip from 2006 when Bachmann was running for Congress.
ReplyDeleteShe's "Hot for God". Her own words.
"God then called me to run for United States Congress" also her own words.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrJA25HdGLM
Another 2006 church campaign appearance video has her proclaiming that "...you are now looking at a fool for Christ. This is a fool for Christ."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ4wtwcrybM&feature=related
She's a fool for sure. She needs to be banished to the rubber chicken circuit.
PRIOR: All I can say is, thank God Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton were our first serious national office candidates of note.
ReplyDeleteRESPONSE: Don't forget (although you may be too young to remember) Barbara Jordan and Shirley Chisholm.
(I guess Eleanor Roosevelt doesn't count for a politician)
And Ann Richards (from Texas!), Margaret Case Smith, Clare Booth Luce and a few others.
The fact that there are so few says volumes, but Hillary & Geraldine stand on their shoulders (and I think they would agree with that - and neither was the first on the party national ticket for the presidency. Shirley CHisholm was the first.
Actually, it hadn't occurred to me until just now, but with Nikki & Michelle & Sarah and some others, it may actually suggest that women are becoming more equal. There are scores of white males who are incompetent, idiots, unethical, whackadoodles. No one blames white males for the bad apples. But bad apples among underrepresented groups are rare. When your group can be represented by an idiot, it means you are gaining in the equality race. No way would an overtly sexy, beautiful woman have been elected to anything 20 years ago.
Barbara Jordan gave one of my favorite speeches of all time. Go here: http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/barbarajordanjudiciarystatement.htm
It was the most eloquent, despite being a junior member of the House, up against many titans giving a speech on the same topic.
Betcha George wouldn't have anything to do w/Palin...remember his Mama suggested Palin go back to Alaska!
ReplyDeleteProbably throwing things at her refrigerator AGAIN!!!
I'm guessing that if she had her druthers, Bachmann would be to Bush as Lewinsky was to Clinton.
ReplyDeleteBachmann is a an arrogant, self righteous moron. It is hard to say who wins the stupidity contest between Palin and Bachmann. The one thing I can say is that if either one of these insipid batshit crazy buffoons wins, we ALL will lose.

HE"S BAAAACK!
As of 8 a.m. this morning they lifted the evacuation order for Los Alamos. Even though I did not have to leave my home, life ground to a halt this last week due to the fire all around us and the oppressive, choking smoke. My evacuation was confined to the one IN MY PANTS when we first saw the smoke and flames - but that is a different story.
The Lab will open Wed. and some businesses are even open today. We have a hospital again and life may finally approach normalcy in the coming days.
Thanks for all of the prayers, rain dances and wet dreams directed toward New Mexico. They may be working as it is beginning to rain here.
Actually, the thought of the IM community engaged in a kind of a mass unison wet dream struck me as enormously side splittingly funny.
It's good to be back, even if I do smell a bit smokey.
I posted the links to the videos at 3:03. Both videos are connected with the DumpBachmann site.

The one idiot recognizes the other idiot as an idiot and turns quickly away from her.
ReplyDeleteHay maybe Duhbya does have a single functioning brain cell.
CORRECTION: I misstated earlier (incomplete research - my bad). Geraldine & Sarah were the first to be on a national ticket for the presidency/vp. Hillary still hasn't been the nominee of a national party However, she was the first woman to win a major party's presidential primary for the purposes of delegate selection, and the first to campaign for the nomination in all 50 states.
ReplyDeleteMargaret CHase Smith was first woman to be nominated for President on a national ticket (Republican)
Shirley Chisholm was the first woman to seek the nomination on the Democratic ticket. I imagine Hillary and Shirley would have been great friends.
more fun facts:
Elizabeth Cady Stanton was the first woman to run for the U.S. House of Representatives (even though she was not eligible to vote.)

And there is a pretty impressive list of political women of lesser national and and state stature.
I'd put Barbara Jordan above any other political woman of post WWII, but probably not above Elenore Roosevelt, unless you count how far down the social pecking order Jordan had to start relative to Roosevelt.
Jordan was awesome and died much too young.
Anonymous @ 3:00: You are so right on. Reagan was the worst and the beginning of all this crap. He was a senile puppet. I will never understand the Reagan worship. Bush was destructively incompetent. The puppetmasters had more difficulty making him look like he was in control because he wasn't senile, just stupid.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm a 51 year old registered republican woman and I don't find this post "sexist".
ReplyDeleteWhat I find "sexist" is that a dumb ass like Palin or Bachmann can even be considered higher office material when the only reason for their entire career is their looks.
I'd vote for a woman for VP or President but I'd never vote for either one of these two. McCain had an opportunity to place a smart, accomplished and experienced female politician on his ballot as his running mate, instead, he chose Palin.
He only chose Palin because she is pretty. Had she looked like Virginia Foxx, she'd still be an obscure governor from Alaska.
Now THAT'S what sexism really looks like!
Bachmann's husband appears to be a closet gay and Sarah's husband Todd does the prostitutes, not really sure if Todd swings both ways.
ReplyDeleteMichele Bachmann has also said, repeatedly, that her husband is the "head of their household" and "he makes the final decision"> So....really, Marcus Bachmann will be running our country if she gets elected. Isn't that nice? Blech.
ReplyDeleteAnon @ 3:00,
ReplyDeleteAs bad as Reagan was was - I couldn't stand that shithead - W was DEMONSTRABLY worse because he got us mired in an unnecessary war and fucked up a necessary one. There are tens of thousands of dead to buttress my assertion.
True, Ronnie wiped his ass on the Constitution every chance he got, but he killed far fewer people than W. By that metric, W is easily the worst.
That and he is thicker than shit.
I used to live in Texas when that moron was governor and I tried to warn people that no good could possibly come from a W presidency.
Boy was I right, or what?
On the eve of the anniversary of our country...I'm so flipping depressed. Half the people in our country are so stupid that I get a little forlorn, the other half, those of us here on IM, are struggling to get heard through a sea of mentally challenged, Bible-thumping, logic-hating shouters...It's depressing..I know our country has seen worse days and I know that there will be worse days...but this is such an obvious down time for us....

Anonymous 2:54 pm proud mom (and deservedly so):
Agree that Reagan is reason GOP can worship at the altar of "No Tax Increases" at the country's expense. See today's NY Times article that describes how the median pay raise for top 200 execs was 23% in 2010 while the average worker's increase was 0.5%. Why doesn't this spark outrage? Why don't Dems remind voters that they're not supporting tax increases, they are eliminating GWBush tax cuts?

ReplyDeleteNot if you've seen any Marcus video's!
Michele needs herself some, in a Baaaad Way!
I saw this when it happened and I was appalled. She literally refused to let go of him. Crazy stuff. Yes that defined lack of class and judgement.
ReplyDeleteI was in the grocery store today and guess who's daughter was leaving a trail of juice behind her as she walked. And that was only from being able to see some fresh vegetables up close!

You don't know what you are talking about. McCain was told to select Palin -- he did not want to. The rest of the story is unfortunately history that will affect us for some time to come.
Gee,for a conservative woman, she sure knows how to get the wrinkles out of GW;s manpart in short order.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what it is about this woman, but she repulses me almost more than Granny Quittypants
5:26 - I was watching a couple the other day, and this has to be one of the funniest comments I've ever read:
ReplyDelete"He's gayer than me, and I'm currently wearing a red damask caftan smoking Virginia Slims from a long cigarette holder".
I can sympathize with closeted gays; especially someone his age. Things were different 50 years ago. But he has said that gays are "barbarians" who need "discipline" (I'll refrain from making a snide remark). He's receiving federal funding to counsel teens to "pray the gay away".
I think people like Marcus Bachmann (i.e. Larry Craig) are jealous of gay people who live openly and happily. They want all gays to live in denial like they've had to.
Anon @ 7:13,
ReplyDeleteYou wrote:

You may, but I certainly won't.
Marcus Bachmann wants to spank all of those naughty gays for being very, very baaaaad boys. Then he'd like to be spanked himself.
Methinks he doth protest too much.
Nothing a good spanking won't cure.
Gasman, glad you're back and okay; glad your home is fine as well. Missed you!
ReplyDeleteRe: Bachmann's comments about her husband being the "head of the house" and "God calling her" to run, this is pretty standard evangelical Christian verbiage. Because I (to my lasting detriment) grew up in this subculture, I'm surprised at how foreign these kinds of comments are to people outside it. But it's phrases like these, as well as her political positions, that tell evangelicals/dominionists that Bachmann is one of them.
Male "leadership" is a HUGE trope and jealously guarded principle for many conservative "Christians." Many dominionists--especially the highly chauvinistic, "this country started deteriorating when women got the vote" kind who attempted to indoctrinate me--wouldn't go for Bachmann if she didn't clearly (claim to) defer authority to her husband.
Many dominionists also sprinkle their language with "God called me to..." or "then the Lord told me..." or "Lord willing" (when speaking of future plans--even something like "We're going on vacation to Hawaii next week, Lord willing"). When I was a teenager in dominion-land, I tried to talk this way too, but it always felt artificial to me. I started to wonder how many other people felt that way, too, but continued to use these phrases out of the fear of sounding less spiritual than their peers.
Now, I get the heebie jeebies when I hear people talking this way. I usually excuse myself, go sit in a dark corner, and listen to Korn or Cradle of Filth until I feel better.
@ Balzafiar,
ReplyDeleteWow, could you be any more condescending to me? You don't know me, yet you state I "don't know what I'm talking about?"
I stand by my statement. If Palin had looked like Virgina Foxx, she wouldn't have been chosen no matter who made the decision to choose her. Bottom line is McCain had final say so in who shared his ticket.
I know from watching the male members of my family (also republicans) fall all over themselves trying to defend this woman's position on McCain's ticket and the defense always ends with the declaration "besides, she's hot".
Again, she was chosen because she was pretty. If she was accomplished, educated and intelligent such as Kay Bailey Hutchison or Olympia Snowe it would be another matter but she isn't. She's dumb as a box of rocks and the only qualification I can see or apparently my siblings can see is she looks good in a pencil skirt and heels.
Several people I know were at a private party in Dallas ( they're not supporters and were not happy to be in the same room as W.) and all saw him openly drinking beer. So much for "recovering" alcoholic!
