Apparently the question surrounding Michelle Bachmann’s sanity has moved from “Is she crazy?” to “Just how crazy is she?” There’s no more disputing that she is; at this point it’s simply a question of degrees. I could get detailed and go on forever here, but instead we’ll let the Congresswoman make her own insanity plea by presenting some of her more memorable quotations:

On swine-flu:

“I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under another Democrat, President Jimmy Carter. And I’m not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it is an interesting coincidence.”

Great. Critical thinking from an elected official, huh?

On her home state:

“I am so proud to be from the state of Minnesota. We’re the workingest state in the country, and the reason why we are, we have more people that are working longer hours, we have people that are working two jobs.”

Congresswoman Bachmann is damned proud that the people of her state can’t make ends meet unless they are working themselves to death?

On the environment:

“The big thing we are working on now is the global warming hoax. It’s all voodoo, nonsense, hokum, a hoax.”

On her man, G.W. Bush:

“I could not believe I was discussing what flavor of custard to order with the President of the United States.”

We’re not kidding about her obsession with GWB. She positively gushes over him.

Here’s a link to a DailyKos article that’s like a case study in whacko:

The presidential portrait for hanging in the anteroom of the Bush Library was unveiled today by First Lady Laura Bush. Take a look. I’m not sure I need to say much more.

It was revealed today that Hank Paulson lied on national television (surprise!) when he said that he deliberately left oversight out of his Wall Street bail out request. He assumed that the Congress would assign that. The reality is that Hank Paulson and his boss, imperial leader George W. Bush, stipulated that there would be no oversight from the courts or Congress. Hey, he learned from the best. If that isn’t enough to freak you out, a spokesperson for Mr. Paulson admitted that the $700 billion figure is meaningless. They just needed to pick a “really big number.”

Researchers today presented to the scientific community a newly-discovered species of monkey whose ancestry can be traced back to the Bush family.

The Fez-Topped Chimpeach (FEZUS IMPEACHUS MAXIMUS) was discovered in the most isolated areas of Australia’s Wet Tropics Rainforest by explorers from Australia, the United States and Russia.

The Fex-Topped Chimpeach loves to perform in front of crowds and will begin a nationwide tour sponsored by National Geographic Magazine. The tour will culminate in a month-long stay at the new Bush Presidential Library at Southern Methodist University.
