The Gloves Come Off During The Republican Presidential Debate
Last night during the Republican Presidential Debate in Iowa, we got a rare look at how Fox News reacts once they lose their ability to play the role of Republican candidate puppeteers. The first instance of this occurred after Chris Wallace asked Tim Pawlenty about whether he believed Michele Bachmann was unfit “to serve President [...]
Michele Bachmann Rides Again
Last April, Michele Bachmann caused herself a huge amount of totally unnecessary embarrassment through her complete ignorance of matters relating to the world economy, and her dogged determination to make incendiary pronouncements on the subject anyway, despite her complete ignorance. She must have come to miss that experience over the last fifteen months, because she [...]
Economic Illiteracy Rides Again
This time it’s CBS News. They invited the seriously-divorced-from-reality Michele Bachmann to spout her unmitigated nonsense on “Face the Nation” yesterday. Even though she tends to repeat the same outrageously false statements on any given topic, host Bob Schieffer was not prepared well enough to actually challenge her Bach, Bach, Bach during the interview. So [...]
Ghosts In The Gallery?
Randy Neugebauer is a Republican member of the House, whose enduring claim to fame for the foreseeable future is going to be how he shouted “Baby killer” at Bart “Stupid?” Stupak during Sunday night’s extended healthcare bill debate. What you may not see reported in the mainstream media, though, is how the price of Randy [...]
The Best Laid Plans Of Men and Mice…and God?
It’s a good thing that God plays such an active role in Republican politics. Here he is, putting Sarah Palin forward as their vice-presidential candidate in 2008: Sarah Palin believed that Sen.

It’s Really Not His Fault
(1) Jon Voight, speaking at Michele Bachmann‘s Whites-of-their-eyes Kill-the-bill rally yesterday: His only success in his one-year term as president is taking America apart, piece by piece. Could it be he has had 20 years of subconscious programming by Rev. Wright to damn America? Don’t blame Voight, though, for the nonsense he emits. We have [...]
Just Saying…
Funny how, in the context of the Republican party, the word “conservative” has come to mean unhinged extremists. The poster children for conservatism are now Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Michele Bachmann and Dick Armey.

We’re Fighting Economic World War 1 (And We’re Winning!)
I had planned to write about this last week. But something else got my attention instead. And I figured that everybody concerned would just quietly move on to less embarrassing behavior. But I obviously sold Michele Bachmann short. The mistake I made was not so much ascribing remotely rational behavior to her, but assuming that [...]
