1. what`s the government going to do with all those ipods?

she`s a stupid _____________

[The_Commonist]

2. Would that be an iPod Touch?

Or an iPod Nano? Or the iPod shuffle?

Can your daughter buy an iPhone and have that cover 6 months of the debt?
How would the voice and data plans fit into this?

[opihimoimoi]

3. Her Creds are LONG GONE....only the Baggers Suck for her SHIT

[Avidor]

4. You'd Think.....

You'd think a politician who wrote a letter to President Bush asking for a pardon for a man convicted of money laundering, gun & drug traffiking & mixed up with convicted felon Tom Petter's Ponzi scheme... not to mention accepting $10K from and having her picture taken with a guy who ran a sham charity... would shy away from talking about felons, but not Michele Bachmann.

5. Excuse me asshat. What did W inherit from Clinton? What did Obama inherit from W?

[AlbertCat]

11. Excuse me asshat. What did W inherit from Clinton?

I was gonna say.... remember the surplus???


But of course Clinton didn't exist, y'know...except when he caused 9/11.

[INTMANOMYST]

23. yeah- the Daily Show

did a hilarious piece on what was permissible to blame on Bush and what on Obama.

[patrice]

40. Re Clinton, just goes to show you that even when you do play by their rules, they'll screw you anywa

[Wickerman]

6. Wow, she already has three

a running one, a touch, and a shuffle. Are there that many more choices out there? Colors, perhaps. If not, that is wau too many Michelle.

Myself, I prefer Sansa. :shrug:

[onehandle]

7. WTF does that mean? I'm Not going to watch this.

Somebody spare me the pain and tell me what it's talking about.

Oh and... http://tarrylclark.com

[AtheistCrusader]

16. She's blathering about the cost of the bailouts

and trying to equate the cost with interest to the cost of an iPod of some mysterious model every month for 46aaasdasdasdasdajskhfkjhsdfjkhsdfjkhfdss

fuck man, it's stupidity on tap, I don't even know.

[Frisbee]

8. Thanks for posting this...

Gonna buy me some Apple stock!

[The Wizard]

9. babbling idiot (nt)

[jnickels13]

10. I love the Coleman won argument she has. LOL

I see every right wing nut case out there is repeating the whole Coleman won because Felons voted. First this study was done by a "conservative watch dog group" (code word for GOP political hacks). But the most they come up with is 340 felons that voted. Franken won by 314. So that would mean Franken got almost all the Felon votes?? Come one!!

[AlbertCat]

13. I love the Coleman won argument she has. LOL

Well, Gore won in 2000.... and that didn't make any difference, so.... get over your Coleman loss, bitch.


I can't listen to this psycho babble.

[JHB]

30. Newsflash Michelle...

...It doesn't freaking matter. They have the right to vote.

Two other things, of course:

1) The claim assumes they all voted for Franken. Why? Because otherwise it's meaningless.

2) Are they talking about guys in jail? Or guys who served their time and are trying to integrate into society?

[lobodons]

32. They can vote!!

Felons can vote in MN if their case has been completed. Granted they can't have a gun forever, but they can vote after completion of their case.

[Mojambo]

12. At the rate they're releaing these things that was probably going to happen anyway. n/t

[Grassy Knoll]

14. .......?

[WhoIsNumberNone]

15. So how much are our daughters paying for Iraq and Afghanistan?

Incidentally, I see that according to some Republicans over at the Ministry of Truth, Afghanistan is now Obama's war, which he chose to fight in spite of all historical precedent.

I also see the Gops are sticking to the whole "ACORN is a criminal enterprise" meme.

[DesertDiamond]

17. OMG! She's wakier than I thought!

[Bitwit1234]

18. Gee Stillwater is in her district and I am going to look it up she has

another penitentiary there also. So who has felons voted for them. BACHMANN BACHMANN BACHMANN.

[dflprincess]

20. Stillwater is probably one of the more liberal areas of her district

(and, strangely, where she lives). There is some hope that Stillwater might wind up in Betty McCollum's district after the next redistricting. This is especially likey if Minnesota loses a Congressional seat.

And, once a felon has met any terms of their release, Minnesota does reinstate their civil rights. So there may very well have been felons voting, but many would have done so legally.

[XanaDUer]

19. Sad.

Sad what untreated mental illness can do to someone, and I'm not being sarcastic.

Poor woman.

[AlbertCat]

21. Sad what untreated mental illness can do to someone,

Is unbelievably obtuse credulity a mental illness?

[XanaDUer]

41. No, but I'm starting to think that political conservatism might be

a personality disorder.

[Imagevision]

22. Bachman is only an example of what we have working for...us?!! pathetic almost

as bad as John Boner the Tan Man.

[INTMANOMYST]

24. but seriously- does anyone know

wth is she talking about w/the ipods?
I mean that sincerely- does anyone know?

[JHB]

33. Not that I want to admit "getting" it, but...

...I think she means an ipod's worth of money. Enough money to "buy a new ipod every week"...

[jmowreader]

34. It's a comparison thing

Apparently each taxpayer's share of the bailout is equivalent to an iPod per month for the rest of her life. (This assuming iPods won't get more expensive.)

She's leaving something out, tho: were it not for the Republicans foisting the Commodity Futures Modernization Act and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act down the throats of the American people, and were it not for the bankers deciding to print their own money through mortgages and derivatives no one--least of all the people issuing them--could understand, we wouldn't have needed to bail out the banks in the first place. Apparently we were just supposed to go to your mom and tell her, "We're awfully sorry you can't eat this week, but we didn't want to fetter the banks' ability to make money by telling them not to do this:

write Option ARMs to couples who both work at Walmart, on $500,000 homes.
tranche the Option ARMs into Mortgage-Backed Securities no one will buy because it's fairly apparent the original mortgages will default in three years.
then retranche the MBS into Collateralized Debt Obligations with other MBS written against loans just as toxic.
when no one buys those CDOs, retranche them again and again, with other things stirred in, until someone actually buys them.
then write Credit Default Swaps against these shaky CDOs. After writing them, tranche the CDS into Synthetic CDO.

By the time they're done, they were able to turn $500,000 worth of surety (most people say "$500k of risk" but in this case there is no risk. "Risk" implies the homeowner might default on his obligation, which of course means there's also the chance he won't. In this case there is no risk--you KNOW the homeowner will be living in a van down by the river within three years.) into a $3.5 million disaster waiting to happen.

[INTMANOMYST]

35. I know- I just

commented on the "financial reform" thing that just passed- I hope it makes a difference. I really really really do.
But I can't help but be skeptical.

anyway, I can't think about it anymore for a while. I think I'm getting an ulcer over it.

[Plucketeer]

25. She's just about as stupid as one can be,

and still qualify as human. :puke:

[suzanner]

26. Once I woulda vouched for the mental health of Minnesotans

but Bahmannlanders and others around the state remind me of how we used to joke about California. People like Michelle are past any short-term help.

[Francisco]

27. *face palm*

When are people going to stop believing this bullshit. Who the fuck voted for this moron. :puke:

[Zambero]

28. Because of Bachman...

...taxpayers will have to keep paying for the salary, relocation cost, and training costs for her many Congressional Chief of Staff replacements, at least while she stays in office. The good news -- she won't be in office much longer.

[JHB]

29. She cites Bush v Gore as precedent....

Those with active brain cells will recall that the Scalia Dumpling Gang specifically said it should not be used as precedent.
That was one of the blaring loudspeakers telling you how bogus it was.

But you knew that at the word "Bachmann"

[ProgressOnTheMove]

31. They are the gossiping neighbor party, a whole ipad every month?? really , nooooooo!

[ck4829]

36. Psychonutjob.

37. , said one of the wealthiest 10% of "farmers" who get 75% of fed agricultural SUBSIDIES

38. and this . . .

[herbm]

39. Bachman isn't mad thar felons voted, she's mad because she assumes they voted for Franken,

in Florida she had no problems with active duty service personel votes being counted, because she assumes they would have swung towards Kerry. Situational ethics are the hallmark of teabaggers.
