Michele Bachmann Celebrates Opposites Day, Says Romney Is the Better Candidate Because Obama Is Too Wealthy
Have you ever had an acquaintance who was so self-deluded that you were actually jealous of that person, because they seem to actually believe all of crazy juice spewing out of their mouths? That’s kind of how we feel about Michele Bachmann. Like, how fun would it be to live in that woman’s brain? Everything just is how you want it to be in your imagination!! I want a rainbow to appear, poof! I’m the best candidate for president, poof! Huma Abedin is a terrorist, poof! My husband isn’t gay, un-poof!
Or, if the candidate for president you support is one of the wealthiest people ever to run for the office and has a widespread reputation for being out of touch with common Americans, just pretend it’s the other guy who is Thurston Howell, III. Witness this exchange between Michele Bachman and a reporter for USA Today:
Reporter: You’ve outlined all the problems in the US, in the economy, and then there are those who say, ‘How can someone with that kind of vast wealth really connect with the American public, really understand what the plight of the American public is?’
Bachmann: Well, President Obama is extremely wealthy. He and his wife have been wealthy for a number of years, and so I think that’s really the issue. President Obama is wealthy, what does he understand about the common man right now?

She's daft. I can't even believe how clueless she is. I'm thinking she must be mentally ill.

I can't tell whether she actually misunderstood what the reporter was asking, or if she was trying to be clever and turn the question around or something. Either way, yes, mental illness is a distinct possibility.

Come on folks. Ms. Pretzel (pun reeeely intended) would have been the poor persons candidate.

A mere $1.5 Mill is only a tad above the poverty level these days.
And be nice to hubby. He'll be doing a guest spot on "Glee."

When you see quotes like this, you understand why people thought the parody Michele Bachmann website and twitter feed were real. But the funniest part of that short-lived parody was the fact that Michele's followers were retweeting those over-the-top parodies with approval as if they were the real thing.

Poe's Law at work.
I always laugh when I see people commenting re Dolt articles (on Fark.com or reddit or other places) saying "Wait, is this like an Onion knock-off or something?" Nope. Not satire. People just really are that crazy, namely Bachmann and Akin.
