[RandySF]

I'm going to take one for the team and watch Michelle Bachmann's response. Feel free to post reactions here.

[snappyturtle]

1. Who's covering it?

edit: Sorry....Wolfie just announced they're waiting for Bachman's response....oh, goody!

[RandySF]

2. Yes, CNN.

[dixiegrrrrl]

5. When is it supposed to start?

I have CNN online, nothing there yet.

[brooklynite]

21. Even FOX couldn't tear away from its focus group to cover Michelle...

[RagAss]

3. That's the rumor.

[AsahinaKimi]

4. CAN WATCH IT ON LINE HERE

http://www.lasvegasmixx.com/tv-news.html on CNN

[dixiegrrrrl]

6. Got it...thanks!!!

[dixiegrrrrl]

7. She's speaking AWAY from her mike.

Like that famous scene in Singing In the Rain.
Turns here head, gets louder, turns the other way, less volume.
And obviously reading a teleprompter.

[seabeyond]

8. tell me when she is done. i will go back into my room, where hubby has tv on. nt

[rucky]

9. Even the local FOX affil cut away from that one. n/t

[dixiegrrrrl]

10. KO tweets: why isn't Rep. Bachmann LOOKING AT THE DAMNED CAMERA?

[white_wolf]

11. I think

I'm actually getting stupider listening to her. Of course unemployment went up during the early years of Obama's administration, you can't fix 8 years of Bush in less than 2 years. Hell I'm not even a fan of President Obama, but to say it is his fault is the height of ignorance. Oh and who would have thought that Tax cuts during a recession coupled with the necessary spending to keep the majority of the country's poor and middle class afloat would have raised the debt? If you want to lower the debt stop giving Tax cuts to the Rich! Raise their taxes and the deficit will go down and we can spend money on important social services, infrastructure, and other things.

12. Is It Halloween?

Her makeup is terrible.

[dixiegrrrrl]

22. KO said: "Eyeliner explosion? "

and Michael Moore said:
Oh great! It's Michelle Bachman! If your watching "Cougar Town" on ABC switch back now -- this is funnier -- and it's a REAL cougar!

They both said:
Seriously, somebody at the Tea Party needs to run on the stage, grab her, and POINT TO WHERE THE CAMERA IS.(KO)

and
Michelle, MICHELLE -- THE CAMERA IS OVER HERE! ( Mike Moore)

[snappyturtle]

I think she resurrected Clarabelle to do the eyebrows.Normally I NEVER

comment on clothing, hair, or make-up but it was so-o bad it was distracting. imho

[Maru Kitteh]

13. This is funnier than hell. It really is.

[bushisanidiot]

14. She has no idea what she's saying.

newt gingrich gives her her scripts. she just reads them.

the repukes batshit base won't care and won't fact check any of it.

morons.

[tishaLA]

15. She's like everybody's least favorite 4th grade teacher

complete with charts.

Oh fuck now she's giving her own special history of Iwo Jima.

[MadBadger]

16. These brave young man!

[WiffenPoof]

17. Showing A Pic Of The Marines...

raising the flag. I wonder if she knows that they had to retake that pic several times to get it right?

[lumberjack_jeff]

25. "The crisis we face is different, but..."

:rofl:

... but I'm trying really hard to explain why this photo has any relevance whatsoever to current events."

[blogslut]

18. Um, Michelle

That photo was staged. The flag was raised but that photo was staged.

That was kind of like watching an infomercial.

[IDemo]

19. That should have ended with a bats in formation flyover n/t

[Maru Kitteh]

24. LOL.

[snappyturtle]

20. OMG! Where does one start. Did she hear the President's SOTU?

She obviously doesn't believe in global warming....she makes Iwo Jima sound like a fairy tale. Proclaim liberty because we will never give up...I think at the end she was dog whistling to the extreme right wing.

[Ilsa]

23. Keith said:

Rep. Bachmann's response expected to focus on how Founding Father John Quincy Jones ended slavery while producing "We Are The World" :rofl:

[snappyturtle]

26. Funny!

:rofl:

[dixiegrrrrl]

28. Twitter was the best way to follow tonight.

Michael Moore was funny, too, in his tweets.

[demtenjeep]
