Bachmann's Gaffes and Lies Mean She's Unfit for White House
Tweet Share on Facebook June 29, 2011 Comment (38)Is there a dumbing down of America?
When Rep. Michele Bachmann stated that John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa, and it was actually John Wayne Gacy, many went ballistic. How could she not know that, being from Iowa?! How could she confuse an American icon with a serial killer? Many said it was a gaffe, an honest mistake, and I agree; I really didn’t have a problem with it.
What I do have a problem with are the numerous gaffes that Bachmann has made, some of which are outright lies. Here are a few examples:

Obama Should Withdraw From Afghanistan
Tweet Share on Facebook June 22, 2011 Comment (6)Tonight, the president will address the nation from the White House. The topic? The withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. How many? Well, we won’t know until the president shares that with us this evening, but most speculate 10,000.

Republican Debate Should Have Been Called 'The Biggest Losers'
Tweet Share on Facebook June 15, 2011 Comment (18)And the winner is… nobody!
As Americans, we always like to talk about who won or who lost. I am reminded of a time when I was in a café in San Francisco and the World Cup was on. I was sitting next to a woman who was cheering for the Netherlands because she is from there; they were playing Trinidad/Tobago. The game tied up, the broadcast went to commercial, and she, as well as the rest of the café, emptied out. I asked her, “Aren’t you going to wait to see who won?”
She laughed and said, “God, you’re so American.”

Rep. Anthony Weiner Joins the Bipartisan Ranks of Stupid Men
Tweet Share on Facebook June 8, 2011 Comment (8)I believe it was Forrest Gump, the character in the movie of the same name who said: “Stupid is as stupid does.” And wow, was he right.
Let me introduce you to some “stupid” men--and I stress men:
Mark Foley, William Clinton, Larry Craig, Mark Sanford, Eliot Spitzer, David Vitter, John Ensign, Chris Lee, John Edwards, Arnold Schwarzenager, and of course, our newest winner of the “stupid” contest, Anthony Weiner. I made this intentionally bipartisan because the issue of men doing stupid things that involve their private parts is clearly bipartisan.

Palin Bus Tour Looks Suspiciously Like a 2012 Campaign
Tweet Share on Facebook June 1, 2011 Comment (20)Will she run or won’t she? That is the question.
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, could it be a duck? If it looks like a campaign bus and a campaign tour, could it be that Sarah Palin is out campaigning to run for president?
