Race to the Bottom

[digitaldiscipline]

flemco caused me to pull an ab muscle with my mad, bitter laughter yesterday evening, by sharing this link.

No, it's not the blatant partisanship of the WND's stance, which is all well and good and First Amendment-y. It's the fact that Rep. Michell Bachmann (R-Denial), arguably the dumbest biped ever elected to public office, is considering a Presidential run.

Rep. Bachmann, I salute your chutzpah, ambition, and utter divorce from reality. If this is the sort of candidacy that self-identified conservatives, and that faction within the GOP, believes is right for them, I can only rub my hands together in evil glee for the day when the vast majority of the American citizenry hands them their fucking heads and lets them know exactly how far they are from where people who don't wear their colon as a stocking cap find them to be.

Unlike flemco, however, I have no desire to see Rep. Bachmann and former Gov. Palin wrestling in mud, jello, or anything else. Just seeing them standing behind podia and looking like the utterly clueless fools they are is enough to peg my schadenfreude meter (not to mention, it'll probably make an awesome drinking game. Take heed, debate schedulers - make this sucker on a Friday night).

Rafe, don't you get it? Apparently blatant stupidity and no concept of reality is exactly WHAT the repooplicans want out of their female candidates... I also think they need to re-adjust their definition of "hot" seriously... this is parading the worst of the horrid class of people I define as "powermommies" people who make you want to rip out your own uterus and strangle someone with it.

I'm all for it, too. Bachmann has her head so far up her ass that she's become a walking Klein bottle, and she'd probably get stomped in a debate against Dan Quayle.

And once again proves the concept of "That's what ball-gags are for."

Take a drink every time Palin says "you betcha." Drain the glass whenever she uses her handicapped infant as a prop to get the sympathy vote.
