Michele Bachmann claims Swiss citizenship - Tim Mak - POLITICO.com
Oh god, we can be rid of her!!!!
And BURN!
It’s sad because it’s true… I’m not so sure the social wedge issues are going to whip up the same old base as much anymore. 2012 will be interesting.
Alec Baldwin and I share the same reaction!
Hate that I missed SNL last night.
Glad that it’s on my DVR.
Texas governor RICK PERRY, responding to Michele Bachmann’s claim that a drug company’s lobbying got him to mandate the HPV vaccine for young girls in Texas.
Pretty compelling response. But that won’t stop Michele Bachmann.

omg HOMOSEXUAL PROPAGANDA! ahahahah
wow
OOH SHIIIIT.
Manhattan mini-storage always has awesome ads like this. A few years ago it had one that said “Your closet is so narrow it makes [Dick] Cheney look liberal.”
Oh, Manhattan Mini Storage. “New York: Seven Professional Sports Teams and the Mets” (or some variant thereof) was one of my favorites. Along with the one that says if you store your stuff with your parents it means you have to visit them.
Best.

And the hits just keep on coming.
While funny also a bit sexist
Here’s a response to Michele Bachmann’s claim that Gardasil, the HPV vaccine, can cause mental retardation. I’m pasting their release in its entirety so I can bold for emphasis.
The American Academy of Pediatrics would like to correct false statements made in the Republican presidential campaign that HPV vaccine is dangerous and can cause mental retardation. There is absolutely no scientific validity to this statement. Since the vaccine has been introduced, more than 35 million doses have been administered, and it has an excellent safety record.
The American Academy of Pediatrics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the American Academy of Family Physicians all recommend that girls receive HPV vaccine around age 11 or 12. That’s because this is the age at which the vaccine produces the best immune response in the body, and because it’s important to protect girls well before the onset of sexual activity. In the U.S., about 6 million people, including teens, become infected with HPV each year, and 4,000 women die from cervical cancer. This is a life-saving vaccine that can protect girls from cervical cancer.
Before anyone wants to claim they are not speaking to Bachmann directly, I’d like to remind folks that she’s the only one making the claim that it causes mental retardation.
This is one of the few things, if not the only thing, Rick Perry has done right as governor as Texas. Opponents have this idea that if young girls get the vaccine, they’ll suddenly become sexually active. This assumes that parents are telling girls they are getting a vaccine to prevent cervical cancer caused by a form of an STD and this means they can have all the unprotected sex they want. I’m 100% sure that’s not the case. Parents are also able to opt out of the vaccine requirement if they wish.
To me, Bachmann’s statement is cruel and reckless. Often, women don’t know they have HPV because they display no symptoms - same with men. It’s estimated that by age 50, 80% of women will have contracted HPV, and nearly all cases of cervical cancer are linked to persistent infection with the virus. Bachmann is in favor of jettisoning a measure to prevent a form of cancer simply to score political points.
She belongs with the crowd cheering the deaths of uninsured, because those “innocent little girls” she’s so worried about would see their chances of developing a deadly cancer skyrocket - just so she could outdo her opponents. If that’s not heartless, I don’t know what would be heartless.

So those 23 foster children you took in, was that before or after you started manufacturing iPhone parts?
“Not a great night for the Minnesota firebrand as even her patriotic brooch appeared to be having second thoughts about most of (Michele) Bachmann’s answers.”
