Michele Bachmanmn explains whe she's an ineffective congresswoman: "I'm a fairly new freshman"

[Minnesota Raindog]

Yes, after more than three years in Congress, Michele Bachmann explains away her ineffectiveness by saying she's a "fairly new freshman" in the "deep minority." When asked, she can't name a single piece of legislation she's passed. And she says--incredibly--that people have an image of Washington being one big boxing match. Now where would they get that idea? Not from her--she works with Democrats all the time. There are plenty more howlers here:

Want to help beat Bachmann? Sign up for Tarryl Clark's (her opponent) Moneybomb when Sarah Palin comes to town stumping for her:

1. I've been contributing to Tarryl's campaign for a couple months and

also made a pledge for the Moneybomb push even though I can't really afford it.

But our country can't afford to have lunatics like Bachmann loose in DC.

2. There's one majority she can claim: that group of people who never had a thought deeper than what to

wear, until yesterday.

4. About as dumb as a box of rocks! n/t

7. Way, way beyond dumb - Palin is dumb, Bachmann is fucking nuts. nt

[RoccoR5955]

10. Filberts, Cashews, or Walnuts? n/t

14. Mixed, with sea salt. nt

5. knr. I pledged.

[indy legend]

6. She is ineffective because

she's a f#%kin' moron. If the GOP ever wants to make Palin look intelligent just have her stand next to this blithering idiot.

8. K & R pledged

9. Hmm, Bruce Braley is a freshman and more effective than she is. But then he's smart.

[Sal Minella]

13. Wow -- yes!!! Iowa Public Radio has him on call-in shows fairly frequently

and he's just a joy to listen to. Articulate and knowledgeable and humane and practical and actually interested in the welfare of the citizenry he was elected to represent. What a concept!

I looked to see what town in Iowa you're from, and you live in Tennessee? How great that Braley is getting known outside his home state. He's the sort of person we need in our national leadership, definitely.

[11 Bravo]

11. She's even dumber than we thought! Representatives serve a two-year term. How in the Hell ...

can that ridiculous twit claim to be a "freshman" in her third year? This fucking idiot will say anything that pops into what passes for her brain.

[mascarax]

12. Actually, she's never passed any legislation - including her previous position in MN

She's managed to do nothing but confirm that she's a complete nut job on both the state and federal level.

19. I'm beginning to think she never passed any bars either

16. Stereotypical Boomer culture warrior.

Screams a lot while doing nothing.

[Political Heretic]

17. She is awesomely bad! :)

Seriously... I'll sort of be sad to see her go because she makes me laugh so much.

(Obviously, the people of her district deserve a serious representative though.)

[farmout rightarm]

18. Maybe she ought to get a physical...a doctor can probably tell her what her gender is...

:D
:rofl:

[KingFlorez]

20. She's been there long enough to be effective

On top of that, she was a state senator. Claiming inexperience isn't a good route for her to go.
