Really, don’t they do more than one take? I mean geez, they’ve got all the time in the world to get it right. Guess it’s time to send Marco some cases of fancy people water. (Note- Per TP it’s Poland Springs) Via.
Thank you for saying it out loud, Bill Maher.
“We don’t have a Progressive party in this country. We have a right wing party, and we have center right party.”
Chris Jansing: “Her knowledge of the basics is lacking.”
“Thank god she’s not writing the nation’s history books. If this is the Tea Party’s representative, I am confident that they will not get one vote from this nation’s black population,” said Bernard.
“It floors me because even as members of the Tea Party expound how much they love the constitution, they don’t even know it,” said Jeff Johnson, contributor to theGrio.com.
And just for kicks, I documented Bachmann’s apparent inability to focus on a camera lens (or much else for that matter) by taking a few screen grabs of her rebuttal rebuttal.
Hey Michele… over HERE!

UPDATE: This is my snarkitude, not her real speech. (The fact that it could be confused with the “real” Bachmann speaks volumes.) I thought I made that clear at the bottom of the post, but apparently not clear enough. This is a spoof of what’s coming. The real excerpts can be found at the link.
Talking Points Memo has excerpts from Michele Bachmann’s rebuttal to the rebuttal to President Obama’s State of the Union address, and they go a little something like this:
The Founding Fathers pulled an all-nighter writing on parchment until slavery was abolished. It was a really long night. Really, really long. Especially for John Quincy Adams.
That’s CLEARLY why we have to cut every single tax to every single zillionaire, stop all that silly fretting about global warming, give those sexy hott corporations some deregulation love, extend prayer time at official government meetings, hang a few historical paintings of children riding dinosaurs in the halls of Congress, increase face time with our favorite right wing Supreme Court judges, cut health care for every ailing– or potentially ailing– American, buy every patriot who tells me I’m pretty a three-cornered hat and a case of Lipton’s, and petition Sarah Palin to be on the 2012 ticket with me as my vice president.
And finally, as a sincere show of gratitude for all those donations you’ve thrown my way, free Botox! But only for real Americans.
Oh, but I kid the BalloonHead.*
For a few actual samples of her handiwork, go here.

Ben Smith got one of the most amusing emails I’ve seen in a long time:
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann has confirmed with us that she will broadcast her response to Barack Obama’s State Of The Union address this Tuesday. You’ll be able to watch her rebut Obama via her address which will be broadcast on our website: www.TeaPartyExpress.org
Only Michele could top Ba-Ba-Baaa-Bobby Jindal. I wonder if Tea Party Express will provide a laugh track.
And I also wonder if this is the tea party’s not so subtle way of slapping the GOP upside the head.
