Occasionally, as Asshole Fuckface will be ignored during a Roundup. This can occur for several reasons. Often, there are worse Asshole Fuckfaces committing far worse acts. Sometimes it is just words instead of action. A heinous act will always get the nod over a statement, particularly if the statement is out of character. And sometimes, the Asshole Fuckface is such a complete tool that I could put her in the Roundup every single week. Seriously, welcome to a Michele Bachmann special edition of the Asshole Fuckface Roundup. Rip out your brain and put on your idiot hat, its the only way youll understand this nonsense.
THE MICHELE BACHMANN ASSHOLE FUCKFACE SPECIAL
Michele has been on a tear the past couple of weeks. She is a miraculous moron in an ordinary year and to say she has stepped up her game is an understatement. She began her trip into the Asshole Fuckface Hall of Fame on March 27th, when she called for a revolution forgetting that our president was elected by an overwhelming majority of the population.
BACHMANN: And really now in Washington, Im a foreign correspondent in enemy lines. And I try to keep everyone back here in Minnesota know exactly the nefarious activities that are taking place in Washington. [...]
I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back. Thomas Jefferson told us, having a revolution every now and then is a good thing, and the people we the people are going to have to fight back hard if were not going to lose our country. And I think this has the potential of changing the dynamic of freedom forever in the United States.
This is exactly what Thomas Jefferson was talking about. Exactly. He was all about energy taxes and hatin on lectric trains and shit.
Next came April 15th, when she conveniently re-wrote recorded history. And Im not talking about old history, Im talking a couple of years ago.
In 2006 six Imams were taken off a flight in Minneapolis and detained because some idiot passengers thought they were suspicious. Suspicious means praying and speaking Arabic. Of course, it was bullshit. They were returning from the Minneapolis conference of the North American Imams Federation and were simply engaging in their evening prayers. Last month, Bachmann explained what happened, but she used non-facts.
BACHMANN: Minnesota was also were the site of the six flying imams.
The imams, the imams were actually attending, ah, Congressman Keith Ellisons victory celebration, when he won as a member of Congress....
They were shouting phrases anti-Bush, anti-America
and were making these statements and when they got aboard the airplane, they switched seats, they didnt go to their proper seats, and they went in the pattern of the nine-one-one terrorists.
No, actually, not at all. They were not doing anything remotely close to what you describe and they had nothing to do with Congressman Keith Ellison, a Muslim. Turns out, not all Muslims know each other, unlike Republican Asshole Fuckfaces. Michele just blatantly lied to a large audience, even though the actual facts are well known. But we should not be surprised.
Next up, on April 22nd, Michele took a dip into Lake Stupid and came out really wet.
Holy fucking shit. Where to begin?
Carbon dioxide is natural, it occurs in Earth. There isnt even one study produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas.
Um. It kills you if theres too much of it. Literally. Kills you. Some people consider dying to be harmful.
Carbon dioxide is a harmless gas.
Except when it kills you.
Carbon dioxide is perhaps three percent of the atmosphere thats in the Earth.
Its not three percent. Its .04%. If it was 3%, wed be sleeping a long, long sleep. Oh, and just because something occurs naturally in nature doesnt mean its harmless. Try drinking some Mercury and youll totally get what I mean. Seriously. Try drinking Mercury.
Next up, our favorite Asshole Fuckface pointed out the shocking coincidences of swine flu pandemics.
First up, the swing flu in the '70s happened under the presidency of a guy named Gerald Ford. Ford was sort of a Republican. The vaccinations began under Ford and continued under Carter. So, you are an idiot for getting your facts wrong. Totally not surprised, but lets pretend you werent.
If you find it interesting that the outbreak of flus occur under Democratic presidents, then you must believe that is happening for a reason. Why else would you bring it up? So, you are basically saying the Democrats are up to something. Apparently, Democrats have quite a bit to gain by setting the flu loose on the American public. So, Democrats want people to die and they have decided to use an uncontrollable weapon that could kill them and their families. I dont know how anyone could find a flaw in that argument.
Next up on the Asshole Fuckface idiot express, Michele said some shit about the past that wasnt true. Can you believe it? Sit back and enjoy the Great Depression according to Michele Bachmann.
Yeah, not so much. Id like to start out by saying its not the Hoot-Smalley bill, it was the Smoot-Hawley bill. We know this because it was written by Senator Reed Smoot of Utah and Representative Willis Hawley of Oregon, both Republicans. Besides that little mistake, Im loving the idea that we should have kept going with the Coolidge awesomeness. Clearly it was really working well until fucking FDR stepped in.
Its true that Bachmann is making an unfortunate error about the names of Messrs. Smoot and Hawley. But her contention is simply that Roosevelt, though he took office in March 1933, was actually able to cause events in the past precipitating the very years-long Depression that led to his election. Its a bit confusing, yes. And somewhat metaphysically controversial.
Her stupidity can BEND TIME. Thats fucking awesome.
Finally, Michele took to the floor of Congress on May 2nd to talk about National Prayer Day, during which she babbled about a prayer Washington wrote
In fact, our Nation's first President let his views be known quite clearly on his inauguration by a prayer which George Washington himself gave at his inauguration.
Of course, it wasnt actually a prayer written by Washington. It was from a letter he wrote when he resigned from the Army which is totally different than an inauguration and totally different from a prayer.
Where did this prayer come from? Well, it's a rewriting of the last paragraph of the circular letter sent by Washington to the governors of the states in 1783, when he resigned from the Army at the end of the Revolutionary War. This paragraph was altered by a church, inserting a few "Thys," "Thous," and "Thees," and adding the "Almighty God" opening at the beginning, and the "through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen" closing to the end, thus creating Washington's "prayer for the nation." This fabricated prayer was put on plaques in several churches associated for one reason or another with Washington, then spread to the Christian nationalist American history books, and eventually to the internet, which is apparently where Michele Bachmann gets her historical "facts."
Then Michele went on to show us why she is a leading scholar of American history.
"And the day that the Founders signed the Constitution, they also signed the first ten amendments to that Constitution; and those ten amendments were given as a gift, a protection to the individual American.
Totally. Except there were these two years between the Constitutional Convention and the drafting of the Bill of Rights by the first Congress. But, almost the same day. Really, you were just off by seven hundred and twenty nine days.
Keep on keeping on, Michele. You are a national treasure.
