What makes you think that Michele Bachmann is trying to steal Sarah Palin's mojo? I mean besides everything?

The idea that Michele Bachmann is ACTIVELY trying to supplant the Grizzled Mama in Teabagger hearts is simply ridiculous.  Bachmann even said so herself a  few days ago.

"They want to see two girls come together and have a mud wrestling fight, and I am not going to give that to them," Bachmann told a voter Wednesday who asked about her relationship with the former Alaska governor.

See media? No mud wrestling! (Even though from a purely male perspective that would be pretty AWESOME! Sorry, had a little testosterone surge there.)

So get over it media.  Just because they sound alike, screw up historical facts alike, and dress alike,


sometimes exactly alike, it does NOT mean that Michele is trying to rip Sarah Palin off.

So just relax and enjoy watching Bachmann launch her Presidential campaign with her bus tour, and....

what?

Oh come on!  ALL candidates have a bus that they ride around on to meet the voters.  Why must we compare Bachmann's bus to....


Wow, they are similar aren't they? Are those even different buses, or did she actually steal Palin's bus and repaint it?

Well forget about the buses, because beyond that they have very little in common. And I am sure that most political observers would agree with me on that.

I'm sorry Sarah Jones, of Politicususa, what is that you are saying?

Both Bachmann and Palin are GOP puppets; religious extremists dressed up, puffed up and pushed out, sold to the highest bidder to put a pretty face on ugly ideas. Both women seem nice enough from afar, both are ostensibly good mothers from afar, both are absolutely hypocritical on almost every issue they purport to stand for and too ignorant to know it. Both are wildly over-confident, in the way that can only come from a small mind that cannot conceive of larger issues beyond the self-aggrandizing, unregulated id that drives them.

Both women bring out the worst in our culture. Both appeal to the lurking sexism, hooking it with a wink and bringing all women down into the mud with them if we dare call them out on it. Yes, if we dare say a word, we are then labeled ugly haters or “fat”. It’s as if we are back in Junior High, only I never knew anyone so shameless and tawdry as either of these two women in Junior High. It offends me to even address their vulgar cries for attention via their sexuality.

Oookay, well perhaps I misspoke. 

Fine, I guess Bristol IS right for once and Bachmann is copying her mother (And doing it better by the way), but SURELY Sarah Palin is a big enough person to let it slide and simply enjoy what she has going for her. 

You know like Bristol's very successful book tour.  Oh that's right.

Well how about her new film?  It's not like her supporters have to fake attendance numbers in order to make it seem more pop...oooh that's going to leave a mark.

Okay well Sarah Palin has "tough skin" so I imagine like any Mama Grizzly whose life is in the shitter she is taking all of this in stride, right?


Did anybody else just lose the feeling in their testicles? (Look away, Gryphen, look away!)

Yeah somehow I think that things might be a little chilly at Casa De Grizzly for he next several weeks.

Now if only no OTHER potential candidates do anything to piss her off, or make her feel like even more of a loser, things might just settle down.

From Politico:

Mitt Romney is slated to have private sit-downs with top officials while he's fundraising in London next week, potentially including Prime Minister David Cameron, per the Globe.

The story raises the possibility of a get-together with Margaret Thatcher, which would be noteworthy on a few levels - including her recent reported refusal to take a meeting with Sarah Palin. (Thatcher's office reportedly denied two British papers' stories that there was an intended snub by the elderly former politician) .

    What strikes me as odd about it (any of it, all of it!) is this: If Palin truly did keep the hoax from even her closest colleagues, and they believed that she gave birth to a baby only 4 days before, were they not curious about how she could humanly pull this off?

    As The Leaky Wheel, who tipped me off to the peculiarities of this particular email said, how much milk do you have to pump to pull this off?

    How much exhaustion can you shake off, how much effluvia can you emit before your body gives out? Before your husband (fek9wnr@yahoo.com) says "enough."

    So, you might say, "Well, she wasn't pregnant. And her staff didn't know she wasn't pregnant."

    Then I wonder why there was not the slightest scintilla of doubt in their emails beyond this could be "exhausting." Why there wasn't, "Is she sure she feels up to this? Can she really leave the baby this soon?"

    And if she did give birth, what fear was driving her to not slow down for a second. Perhaps it was the "August is just around the corner; McCain is squarely in my camp" fear.

    Just sayin'.

    Michelle Bachmann is a decent God-fearing Christian who does not call upon Him- like Palin mother and daughter- to give anyone who disagrees with the ex-mama grizzly the Big Middle Finger.

    And Bachmann hasn't felt the need to wear a huge rhinestone crotch-pointing cross, nor wear The Largest Star of David in the Whole Wide World- to prove her religious bona fides or her support for Jewish people.

  8. My understanding is that Lady Thatcher did not refuse to meet Palin. She probably doesn't know who Sarah Palin is, because of her dementia. It was somebody associated with her who said that she'd never meet with Palin, because Palin is crazy.

    Dementia is an awful, awful disease. Much depends on the quality of people providing care, and the dedication of her family. And frankly, I can see a family member explaining that Sarah could certainly come and visit- they'd take a million pictures and release one or two that makes Lady Thatcher look somewhat alert. That's if the family is willing to use Lady Thatcher. I think it's degrading to her, but I've never noticed conservatives have any standards of behavior anyway.

    Michele Bachmann Equals Sincere Ignorance Plus Conscientious Stupidity

    Martin Luther King, Jr. once said “nothing in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity,” and Bachmann exemplifies this as no other Presidential candidate today. She is an ideologue who simply has no use for facts, sincere in her ignorance and conscientious in her stupidity. Worse still, her supporters don’t care whether she gets the words right as long as she is humming their tune.

    Bachmann is certainly not alone among her Republican brethren in her disdain of facts and accuracy, but it is her breezy disregard for such that makes her unique. Mitt Romney anguishes publicly over whether his criticism of Obamacare is intellectually honest in view of his own state-run system in Massachusetts. Sarah Palin was shamed into trying to paper over her Paul Revere gaffe by attempting to tweak history to comport with her original misstatement. Bachmann, however, is utterly immune to shame. When confronted with reality, she simply brushes it aside, saying “people make mistakes,” and forges ahead. What is more significant, her supporters consider this praiseworthy.

    Similar and the Same.

    The CEO of the private company that Bachmann was licensed through for fostering children has openly talked as he worked directly with her. Not standing behind an 'Anon'.

    Those 23 foster kids she repeats ad nauseam that they 'raised' -- Not so much!!! They housed, they fed and they indoctrinated them and got PAID for it.

    When you are only licensed for 8 years from 1992 - 2000, the last placement being in 1998 meaning truly just 6 years. It's pretty difficult to squeeze in 23 life long raisings of foster kids!! Most certainly when you are only licensed for 3 at a time and only wanted 'unwed mothers' aka 'pregnant teens'. Guess in her pro-life mind, she counted the pregnant teen as '2'!!!

    To only want pregnant teens - was that to 'indoctrinate' them? That which she and her husband accuss gays of doing to children??

    Huff story is a must read of statements made by CEO, former Bachmann neighbors and church members who stated 'few sightings' of these foster kids.

    Fox’s Liz Trotta: Palin And Rep. Bachmann Took Same History Course At ‘Fleabag U’

    Fox’s Saturday commentator Liz Trotta came out swinging this weekend, taking down both Rep. Michele Bachmann and colleague Sarah Palin for their historical inaccuracies. Quoting Ezra Klein and Matt Taibbi, Trotta joked the two shared an alma mater in “Fleabag U,” and that “as far as flubs go, they are leading the field.”
    Trotta didn’t seem surprised that Rep. Bachmann and Palin were being compared: “it’s almost preordained because it seems to be they both took the same american history course, and it may have been at Fleabag U.” She chided them for both their latest gaffes– the Paul Revere comments that sparked controversy from Palin, and Rep. Bachmann’s “Lexington and Concord and in New Hampshire” quip. Using various quotes by Taibbi and Ezra Klein (“Rep. Bachmann is the candidate that Sarah Palin is supposed to be”), she argued that “they can’t get away from these criticisms, and even laughed at Rep. Bachmann’s claim that she has a “scholarly background.” The scathing critique seemed to have left anchor Uma Pemmaraju, who Trotta threw back to, rather speechless.

    Oh, they do NOT like Michele B at Fox at all!

    Red Eye Panel: Did Michele Bachmann Use A Tom Petty Song To Get Publicity?

    Rep. Michele Bachmann is one prone to some controversy, though the type she found this week was certainly new: musician Tom Petty requested she stop using his song “American Girl” on the campaign trail. It’s neither the first nor last time that a politicians finds themselves in that position, and the fact that it’s common knowledge one needs permission to use songs had last night’s Red Eye panel asking: did Rep. Bachmann spark Petty’s wrath on purpose?
    Host Greg Gutfeld retold the story of how Petty tweeted he wanted nothing to do with Rep. Bachmann, joining Katrina of Katrina and the Waves, who also protested to Rep. Bachmann’s use of “Walking on Sunshine.” The panel agreed that artists should have a say in where their music is played– panelist Joe DeVito put it succinctly: “I think you should be able to decide where your song is being played.” The problem, Gutfeld noted, was that this significantly narrowed down the playlists for conservative politicians to Lynyrd Skynyrd and Ted Nugent, and… that’s about it.

    On his part, Bill Schulz seemed bored by the controversy. “We’ve seen this movie before,” he yawned, noting the dispute between Ronald Reagan and Bruce Springsteen. “When Reagan used Springsteen’s song ‘Uptown Girl?’” Gutfeld interjected, which Schulz replied to affirmatively– “he wrote it for his model girlfriend, Naomi Campbell.” Schulz suggested it was a move “completely and utterly calculated by the Bachmann camp” for publicity, a point Andy Levy later found to have some merit, as campaigns “know they didn’t get permission from the copyright holder” for the music, so the backlash is entirely expected.

    Reposting this:

    Gryphen, I am just about finished with Blind Allegiance, and I was wondering if people up there are doing anything about some of the revelations, especially Frank's admission that personal issues were handled on the taxpayer dime and very little work was done, also the backdoor deals, outrageous handling of Beth Kerrtula's appointment, etc.

    I'm finding it hard to get through the book partly because it's so disheartening. I'd be furious if that were my governor, and I'd be ready to get some people together to file a lawsuit for not doing her job.

    Also, the wine bottle that was auctioned off with her signature for a fund raiser, but it was actually Kris Perry's signature.... stuff like that.... is anything being done up there, and are people talking about recourse?

    There's no way I would ever vote for Michele Bachmann and I would seriously consider moving out of the country if she was elected, but even though on the surface she's like Palin, Bachmann is NOT evil, Palin is. Bachmann reminds me of alot of the women in the church I grew up in, her world is very, very small. She only associates with conservative Christians, only reads Christian or conservative literature and publications, doesn't watch secular television or movies. This is why so many of her "facts" are wrong. She's not malicious, just grossly misinformed with no hope of reading or seeing anything impartial enough to open her mind a little.

    Remember the story of Bachmann screaming in terror, saying she was being threatened when two lesbians came into the restroom she was in to talk with her? She was terrified they could literally convert or defile her if she had to stay there and listen to what they had to say. She's a zealot and a fundamentalist who believes what she says and lives it. She wants to turn America into a theocracy with her god at the head of it (not the real Jesus who is loving and gracious). She has actual principles, even though they are way, way off base.

    Sarah Palin is not a fundamentalist, or a true believer, or a zealot for any cause besides herself. She has no higher principles or values. She doesn't walk the Christian walk in her actual life, or even try to. As long as she can trick people into believing she's a God-fearing woman, that's good enough for her. She wouldn't sacrifice herself or anything she has for a greater purpose. She is a complete fake and a fraud. For Sarah, this is only a game, a performance. She's one of the carnival barkers Obama talked about. She only wants and needs two things, money and worship. This is why she is so threatened by Michele Bachmann, not because she thinks Bachmann is trying to steal her shtick, but because she knows Michele is authentic.

    9:20 you are spot on. The reason Bachman continues on her way when confronted with her mistakes harkens back to the evangelical meme: "People are human, they make mistakes and I will be forgiven in the afterlife if I accept Jesus in my life." Unfortunately, she simply keeps getting it wrong in a lame attempt to push her own agenda and a twisted notion of Christianity. She and her husband have truly lost the way.

    She also worked on a kibbutz in Israel, as opposed to just a drive by tourist stop.

    Sarah confessed to having a miscarriage in "Going Rogue," but Michele really cashed in on the same experience, claiming that is what made her pro-life. (She became a Committed Christian when she was 16 years old. She was pro-life before she was pro-life).

    They both lack the basic knowledge of American History, and the founding of this country. I'll see your Paul Revere and raise you a John Quincy Adams.

    I'll give Michele credit for dressing better than Palin, and so far we haven't seen much of her family. Her son Harrison is a problem: http://minnesotaindependent.com/tag/harrison-bachmann since he signed up to work with AmeriCorps.

    So according to Bristol the Pistol, women can no longer wear red jackets cause that fashion statement belongs to Sarah.

    So does that mean that if girls have sex in tents and drink wine coolers then they are copying Bristol, the sex is never enough star?


    I did notice these buses were kinda alike, they had round tires on them that rolled. Aha!

    Another good book review for Dunn: http://www.straight.com/node/401932

    You know that a book with the title The Lies of Sarah Palin isn't going to flatter the former Republican vice-presidential candidate.

    But what's so pleasantly surprising about this biography is the incredible depth of research by the author, Geoffrey Dunn, who has written many articles about Palin in The Huffington Post.

    LATimes on her 'movie':

    "if they can wade through the nonstop imagery of martyrdom: lions feasting on innocent zebras, a knight felled by one of countless arrows (fired by the leftist media, no doubt), a woman's corpse getting dirt thrown in its face," he wrote Friday."----

    Both of them are hardly girls.

    No woman is if she's of legal age.

    Why do these idiots keep trivializing their adulthood by referring to themselves as "girls"??

    I bet Sarah is pissed. MB is getting tons of publicity on all the media and Sarah is getting none. Sarah will have to do something stupid to get in the news again.

    Sarah looks ten years older at least in that photo. I personally never saw this woman as attractive. Her aura has no grace or beauty at all. The fake smile, the clunky walk... Michelle has some genuine femininity and probably really hugs her kids when the cameras aren't on.

    @ R in NC.. Blind Allegiance sure showed the corruption and pettiness in the Palin administration... I am so glad Bailey wrote it; I think it helped open some eyes of thinking followers of SP in the "lower "48"... I cried in the last chapters when Bailey meets a very kind state trooper/fellow parishioner. Well written book IMO. And used SP's actual emails, so it wasn't hearsay! A very timely release!!

    There's a lot of differences between Bachmann and Palin.

    To name one difference, Sarah cries out that America should respect her kid's privacy.

    Honest to God I'll tell you right now that I cannot pick any of Bachmann's kids in a police line up to save my family's life.

    I cannot tell you if MB's kids had sex, but I can tell you everything about the Palin kids. I can tell you who had sex, with who, where they had it, name their partners, when they lost their virginity and so on. I can tell you that Sarah, her mother Sally, Bristol and Track's wife were all impregnated before marriage. I cannot even tell you MB' husband's name or what kinky stuff he is into but I can tell you about Todd's love for prostitutes and give you names and locations. If you want to know about Sarah and Todd's extramarital affairs, just ask America. America can tell you about the Palin kid's crime sprees, drugs of choice, and their hatred for people who are Gay. America can tell you how ignorant and uneducated the Palins and their kids are without even having to snoop into the Palin's trash. All we have to do is just turn on the TV and watch the Palin's family vacation in Boston or news clips of Sarah Palin's Alaska to find out out how stupid they really are.

    Hey Sarah

    Bristol already told the world that you already made up your mind about running for POTUS. Why do you keep telling the world that you are still thinking about it?

    Bachmann can out-crazy Palin. But Palin's spawn is way ahead of Bachmann's in repulsiveness.

    Bachmann's puppet masters are better at programming Bachmann's mental problems. Palin's puppet masters seem to be about to abandon their aging and mentally unstable plaything.

    I suspect Bachmann's monetary demands are substantially less than Palin's, so the men controlling Bachmann will keep her performing for the conservative crazies when Palin has been tossed into the dumpster.

    I cannot WAIT to hear Bachmann running her mouth about Palin's faked pregnancy. At that point, refrigerators will be seen fleeing Wasilla.

    "Both Bachmann and Palin are GOP puppets; . . . ."

    Absolutely correct. And when they are over, there will be others. Unless of course the Rabid Right succeeds in grabbing all our civil rights and installs itself into complete and total power, as it is succeeding in doing at present: they would love to have a puppet figurehead like either Palin/Bachmann. (Except Palin is a little shy on following instructions well.) Then we could continue a national dialogue in the press that is entirely about clothes, facial surgery, wayward children, dancing shows on TV, sleazy affairs, mammoth bloopers, and all the other sordid et ceteras.

    Instead of the national dialogue we NEED: about education, taxes, social services, war, infrastucture-building, jobs, Wall-Street abuses, people like Thomas on the Supreme Court, and all THOSE other et ceteras.

    I think Palin started copied Bachmann 4 years ago. Don't like Bachmann but I do believe she really is a fundamental Christian. Palin just turns on the religious talk when she needs a base or to make herself appear believable.

    Palin just morphs into whomever people will pay to see. Whether its the GOP, teaparty or Alaskan Independence Party. Palin will say WHATEVER she thinks will make her popular.

    The reason for the Bachmann's to have girls in the house is because Michelle wouldn't have been able to keep Marcus off any teen boys.
    A "rill" journalist couild get pics of Marcus in public park bushes if they followed him just one weekend.

    He's not the first gay guy to marry a dominant woman. It often works for the couple.

    His BIG mistake is the cure-teh-gay antics which (in their short sighted, narrow minded, lower-end IQs) are supposed to distract the public, but only serve to reinforce what anyone with a Kool-Aid-free brain can see. A few seconds of Marcus on video and my gaydar goes into overdrive.

    What you gotta love about this is, the loonies of the right created Palin, only to realize, many days late and many dollars short, that they had created a monster they couldn't control. I think smarter Peerublicans clued in pretty fast, and maybe even held out fast that McCain would ditch her before the election. Three years later the loonies are peddling a kinder, gentler, less jaw-droppingly stoopid monster, hoping against hope the TeaPartyTwits will embrace her rather than stage an outright revolt & follow their beloved monster Queen. And, yeah, good luck with that.

    I don't buy the idea that Bachmann dresses like Palin. She's been in Congress for several years, although any time she spends there is far too long, but she's always been a fairly sharp dresser. The RNC wouldn't have to buy her a wardrobe for her to campaign as V.P., either. I've never seen her with her hair up and haven't seen her with glasses, either. $arah didn't start a trend of any type by wearing red jackets and black skirts, that combination has been around forever. The only people I've seen who dress like Palin are impersonators and Christine O'Donnell. Otherwise, Bristol is dead wrong. Although her speaking out like this proves that Bachmann running for President has really gotten under Palin's allegedly thick skin and for that I have to say, "Thanks, Michelle". She's a nutcase who doesn't belong in the White House just as $arah doesn't but if she drives Palin crazy that is great news. Bristol's talking about her is confirmation.

    As Rhett Butler once said, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!"
    I wanted to see a female president in the White House in my lifetime, but these two wingnuts (who basically cancel each other out) have crazy glued all the cracks in the glass ceiling for at least the next three presidential cycles.

    Both are crazy, but in differnt ways. Their grasp on reality and historical facts makes all women look unelectable.

    Hillary Clinton made some huge mistakes in her campaign, but she is more than qualified to hold the office. She's educated, can think on her feet, and knows how to handle her personal life despite the media and Republican "scorched earth campaign" with the Starr Report.

    Can anyone imagine Palin and Bachman getting this far if they looked like Bella Abzug or RAM? Women Candidates shouldn't be judged on their "eye candy" appeal, but on what's between their ears.

    Trotta definately got it right in her assessment, the fact that Fox aired it gives me hope that Palin Inc. is about to go bankrupt.

    Excellent post, Gryph. That photo of Quittypants is a keeper! She's barely able to keep her inner demon from erupting in that photo, whoever took it captured Sarah's black hole of a soul.

    Wonder if Sarah will do a commemorative kayak ride on a lake on the fourth, those damn tight abs stopped Piper from being a fourth of july baby, dang it!!!
