Palin or Bachmann?
"Michele Bachmann will appeal to those who like Sarah Palin but wish she would be a little less intellectual. She will be as viable in 2012 as Dennis Kucinich was in 2008. She will have an eventful ten or fifteen minutes of fame and the media will love her for the same reason that kids love zoos."
Charles Walcott
Professor of Political Science, Virginia Tech

9. I've met her (Bachmann) as she is my congress critter.
She ain't exactly bright in the intellectual sense but she is sly. She plays the femme fatale role to the hilt and has the christian victim schtich down pat.


Me - I want her and Palin to primary against Palenty and any other nut that wants to run. We need to get a light to shine on these roaches.


Bumpersticker: Palin/Bachmann 2012 - double batshit crazy with fries to go.

16. Better Bumper Sticker
Someone here at DU stated the phrase, NO BALLS, JUST NUTS, for this duo, and I have been repeating this phrase ever since!

Question: Which one is "dumb" and which one is "dumber"?

15. I've known mushrooms and Sarah Palin is no mushroom.
No way is she a "fun guy" or a "fun girl".

19. The professor's comparison to Dennis Kucinich is not correct.
Dennis was for the most part shunned by the media and not allowed to debate in many instances because he was considered a fringe candidate. If the media will love Michele, then she is no Dennis Kucinich.

22. Why not Both?
It's not a trifecta, but it would be amusing.

24. Good point, Sarah would only serve a half term anyway.
Michelle continue the lunacy for another two years.

25. It's far more than a trifecta, Sarah comes with Tawd and lots and lots of bad children,
some of whom she claims who might not even be hers and Michelle comes with those frankly psychotic googlie eyes.

If Palin were any less intellectual, she would be a bag of hammers without the hammers.

28. The Zoo?
I thought it was more like NASCAR. They just go 'round and 'round real fast. They drive for 500 miles and end up right where they started three hours before. Maybe there will be a terrible crash. And... the cars just look so purty.
