Michele Bachmann, to man with no teeth: The free market will save you [VIDEO]
--snip--
Michele Bachmann's campaign, once a roaring fire that threatened to consume us all, has been reduced in the last few weeks to a small pile of burning embers. But that doesn't mean you won't still get burned if you stick your hand in there.

At a campaign event in New Hampshire yesterday, Bachmann fielded a thoughtful question from a man who asked about the future of Social Security and Medicare. The man asked about Bachmann's previous policy statements, which boil down to, "Let them die." (The programs, not the people! We think.)

"We have uncertainty right now," Bachmann told him, launching into a wide-ranging answer that mostly focused on how Barack Obama will personally walk into hospitals and old folks' homes and throw people out windows.

Turns out, this guy's got enough uncertainty already: He's losing his teeth. Bachmann's policy answer: Maybe he should go to... a church? Or, oh! Better idea: Sit on the street corner and beg for change.

In order to get to the revealing turn, you can slog through the first few minutes of this video.

1. She's not crazy enough to be the Republican nominee
I know she's trying awfully hard to let her deep psychosis shine through, but she needs to focus a little harder on the crazy in order to have any chance this year.

2. Yeah, I'm sure the President referred to his health-care plan as "Obamacare."
Bachmann is so full of shit!
