Michelle Batshit thinks it’s “[interesting](http://blogs.citypages.com/blotter/2009/04/bachmann_intere.php)”: > [@](#): > > “I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under another Democrat president Jimmy Carter. And I’m not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it’s an interesting coincidence.” Someone who speaks religious nutcase would have to explain why that would be “interesting” even if true, but in point of fact, it’s not even _true_. The last outbreak started under Ford. There’s also some bonus Bachman nuttiness in the linked interview where she says that CO2 makes up 3% of the atmosphere (if that were true, we’d all have gills). ---

In other news, Israeli official has asked the epidemic be renamed because Swine Flu is [offensive](http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5ieHZRubAS3lyjn2GBiCPkXkHrXwwD97QROAG0) to devout Jews. Speaking of Israel, the first entity to recognize Jesus for who he was happened to be a _Legion_ of demons that Christ drove into _Swine_, in Israel. And the same year that Jimmy Carter was elected there was an outbreak of [Legionairre’s Disease](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legionellosis). That was in 1976, about the same time that Obama began using marijuana and cocaine in Hawaii. And what country did Carter host peace talks for? Israel. Not saying there’s a connection necessarily, but it is interesting. I think the reason the devout Jews in south Florida chose Hillary was because they recognize Obama for who he really is. ---

Guys, it’s Obama’s attempt to solve the economic crisis, obviously. Fewer people means more money per person! It’s part of his _socialism_. Also God did it because he hates us. God bless America! ---

Naw, it’s the Iowa Gay Agenda. Here in Iowa, the major pork-producing state, we let gays marry each other because we hate heterosexuals, and Swine Flu is the plague we are introducing to God-Fearing Americans via terrorists who cross the border from Mexico disguised as migrant laborers. Duh. ---

The Wikipedia article on this Michelle Bachman person states that she is “also mentally retarded” as if any further proof is needed. (I understand that Wikipedia is NOT to be fully trusted.) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michele\_Bachmann](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michele_Bachmann) ---

When my proposal for “Celebrity Nitwit Challenge” is picked up by Fox, one of the episodes will feature a wrestling match between Michelle Bachman and Cynthia McKinney in a vat filled with lemon meringue frosting and used 10W40 motor oil. Or maybe Jenny McCarthy vs. Tonya Harding. Optimal contestants will be narrowed down via focus group analysis. ---

Bachmann has also declared recently that FDR “turned a recession into a depression” (even though he took office with a 25% unemployment rate) and one of the tools he used to make that happen was “Hoot-Smalley tariffs.” Oh yeah. She’s got the dumb. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/michelle-bachman-again-maybe-there-should-be-a-sticky/494774.md?page=2)
