HE'S COMING FOR OUR FOOD.... Back during the presidential campaign, Barack Obama noted, "We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK." The comment, made 16 months ago, was obviously about over-consumption and America's role in the world.

A year and a half later, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) is worried. "President Obama said we can't eat as much food as we want and think the rest of the world will be okay about that, as if that matters to freedom-loving Americans," she told her colleagues from the House floor this week.

"Well, we just heard last week that the Federal Government now under the Obama administration is calling for a re-ordering of America's food supply. What is that going to mean? Now will the White House decide how many calories we consume or what types of food we consume?"

Yes, Michele, that's exactly what it means. In fact, ACORN will now be responsible for preparing all foods in all households. President Obama will appoint a "dinner czar" to make sure you don't skip your vegetables. If you do, a "death panel" will decide whether you qualify for dessert.

[unpossibles]

1. idiots

god forbid they actually try to be responsible.

[glinda]

2. Media should point out she has cracked up and needs help

[Grinchie]

12. Sorry, Eli Lilleys's lawyers would take issue with that.

Bachman, Beck, and Limbaugh are their greastest examples of the efficacy of their mind altering, psychotropic drugs.

[glinda]

30. Oh yeah, I forgot!

[Lucy Goosey]

3. Wow, she's better than Colbert - she really inhabits the character...

of the crazy right-winger perfectly! Good job!


Oh. I've just been informed that Bachmann is for real. Really? Are you sure? What, is someone going to tell me next that Glenn Beck for real, too?

[demwing]

11. Don't worry, Glenn Beck is absolutely for real

Rush Limbaugh told me so. I think. Actually, let me get back to you on that, the voices are arguing with Rush, and I need my meds and a nap.

[MineralMan]

4. I think it's the Repukes who want to do that, by

bankrupting us all through paying the health insurance companies an ever-higher percentage of our income. Before long, food will be something we can't afford.

[fryguy]

5. reality and Bachmann don't get along very well

her years in congress are basically becoming a Fox News audition tape at this point

[harvey007]

6. Eat this, Michele

[road2000]

24. Then let her eat ACORNS! n/t

[Wizard777]

7. Shouldn't she be in an Acorn office impersonating a prostitute?

[Vilis Veritas]

19. Wouldn't that be Reality TV?

And I hear she does only in call.

[lysosome]

8. Oh, I love this. Obama killed the SUV, not $4/gal gas.

[EmilyAnne]

25. Nor changes in taste and environmental awareness. nt

[demwing]

9. I just lover her to death!

she's so freaking insane, it's a never ending source of amusement. America will lose a great comedic resource when Bachmann finally loses her seat, and I want to be there to see it happen.

More, you crazy lady! I want MORE!

[newmac]

10. Fearful Dum Sh++t; what law has he passed that will keep you from buying food??

These nutcrackers are all about future fear. All the what ifs.....

[robinlynne]

13. shit, I didn't realize she is a congresswoman. thought she was a tv crazy!

[Plucketeer]

14. The best thing she could do for her "agriculture state"...

..would be to offer herself up as fertilizer.

[Kerrytravelers]

15. If what Ms. Bachmann says is true, she better watch out. Comrade Obama may take away all her food.

Do people actually vote for this woman? Seriously?

[windoe]

16. I hope she gets voted out of office when the time comes.

Because her time is up masquerading as a sane adult, much less a representative.

[Turbineguy]

17. Another butt-nugget of wisdom

brought to you by the Dumb-as-Fuck Wing of the Republican party.

18. WHO is asking Americans to consume less food, Michele?

Bachmann: Prayer and fasting will help defeat health care reform

On Wednesday Rep. Michele Bachmann was part of a star-studded “teletownhall” meeting to discuss health-care reform. The event, billed “Keeping Faith with the Unborn,” was sponsored by the Susan B. Anthony List, an anti-abortion advocacy group. The organization’s president, Marjorie Dannenfelser, claimed that there were some 350,000 listeners on the line.

“That’s really where this battle will be won — on our knees in prayer and fasting,” she told the listeners. “Remember: faith without works is dead. So we’re asking you to do all of it: pray, fast, believe, trust the Lord, but also act.”

20. does this white blouse make me look fat? Huh? does it?

I do mean her head

[road2000]

23. I just read your title wrong...

Thought you wrote: "Does this white house make me look fat?"

[burning rain]

21. If she wants to lure Jerry Nadler into switching parties,...

she's going to have to try harder than this. He's a committed progressive.

[abq e streeter]

22. to all who keep voting for her.....I have to assume you're even more insane than she is

at least she gets paid well to let the entire country see and hear what a brainless fool she is. And her supporters' excuse is...? ( I'll take dumb as a fencepost for 200 Alex)

[sheldon]

26. "As if that MATTERS to freedom loving Americans!"

She accidentally showed her true colors there..... these clowns don't see beyond their own petty interests, and the rest of the world can go fsck itself...

27. Larry King,

some years back, had an interview with the Dalai Lama. At the end, King asked his Holiness if he had any advice for the American people. The advice was "eat less".

[abq e streeter]

28. yeah, but isn't he a muslin from Kenya?

who hates white people....(and then there's that Dalai Lama guy too....)

[toad2927]

29. bachmann

don't worry Michelle-we won't make you eat less! But might I recommend that you talk less. We wouldn't know how stupid you are if you would just shut up

[hmorehead]

31. Palin/Bachman '14 wooo-hooooo!
