She will have to hide him in a campaign. He clangs gaydar all across the land.
Bachmann has about as much chance at the nomination as Gingrich, that is to say none. As I’ve said before, it’s Romney’s to lose.
With Romney on one side, trying to navigate around the Tea Party, changing his positions with each audience he faces, forgetting that those cameras facing him actually record the stuff he says, and the crazy wing of the GOP on the other, all trying to out-crazy and out-God each other to sew up support from primary voters, the majority of which are Tea Party sympathizers, this primary season is going to be fascinating.
Has Bachmann pinned the Olso bombing on Obama yet, or is she going to wait a few hours?
It’s rushes to judgment and baseless assumptions like this that lower the Board’s standing as a rational place for considered discussion. You should be ashamed of this knee jerk-like response.
Clearly, it’s the Guliani exploratory committee that’s likely to blame the Oslo bombing on Obama.
He’s running for mayor of Oslo?

So here’s an article by some (probable) non-believer who feels like kicking the beehive. His basic tenet is that hearing the voice of God telling you what to do is tantamount to being insane and ergo, Bachmann is nuts. Frankly, I think the author has an axe to grind and someone saying “God inspired me to run” usually doesn’t imply that they heard the actual voice.
Still, brings up some interesting questions:
a. Does Bachmann claim that God literally told her to run? As in, did she actually hear voices?
b. What are the odds that she is literally and not just figuratively batshit crazy? I’ve heard some of her interviews, and her ability to completely ignore interviewer’s questions in order to hammer on some bit of rhetoric seems to me to be even beyond your normal politician’s, as does her ability to disregard consensual reality.
c. If you were an armchair psychiatrist and were forced to give a DSM IV of Bachmann, what would you choose?
To gnaw my own arm off, club her with the book (it’s pretty big), and do that Bugs Bunny strut out to public accolade.
I’ve said it before, but it is so damn insightful that I’ll repeat it. Romney’s political views are in superposition. He holds all possible beliefs simultaneously and it is only when he is measured (by speaking in front of a particular audience) that he collapses to a single position.
The metaphor doesn’t work. With quantum superposition and wavefunction collapse, if you measure one variable, and then measure it again in the next experiment, you get the same result.
I thought that was only true if you made no other interim measurements. Given that he has never been asked the same question again in front of a different audience without being asked another question at some other time, the state measurment of the first question is once again in superposition.
Correct that one, bitch 
I quote myself: “…and then measure it again in the next experiment…”.
Even so, you’d think that at least some policies would commute, such that he could be in an eigenstate of both at once.
This sounds like science, so it’s nothing to do with Bachmann.
A wizard did it.
-Joe, !!SCIENCE!!
Bachmann took a loan backed by Fredie for 417,000 dollars while screaming about the organization in front of congress. She is a lying hypocritical bitch who wants to get a job she does not qualify for. She is a joke.
Bachmann says she, not husband, running for office
So there’s that question answered!
She also says, “Unlike all of you, who I’m sure paid cash for your homes, there are people out there like myself who actually have to go to a bank to get a mortgage.”
:eek: Sarcasm? Cluelessness? Doesn’t nearly everybody have to borrow to buy a house?
A Fannie/Freddie loan at that. Just remember, folks, IOKIYAR, kids!

Refusing to talk about her husband or his finances smacks of shady dealings. Her FNMA and GNMA comments are a major faux pas. What’s next: blaming the lamestream media for ‘gotcha’ questions? She’s self-destructing right before our eyes, and amen to that.
I put this in the pit too. How much stupid can you person utter? You would have to be blindfolded and have ear plugs in all the time to believe this woman deserves consideration.
The problem with that article is that the roughly 30% of the nation goes down that list saying “yep, yep, yep, I agree, testify sister, uh huh, of course, right again, yup, well sure, I knew that, …”
I think that’s more of a problem with 30% of your nation. It’s not the article’s fault they’re buffoons.
