Michele Bachmann runs away from CNN

CNN correspondent Dana Bash hauled serious tail in the hallways at CPAC to question the validity of Michele Bachmanns’s accusatory speech on Tuesday. The Minnesota congresswoman erroneously cited President Obama for “frivolous spending” at the executive mansion that includes having “five chefs on Air Force One” and “two projectionists” 24/7 in case the Obama family wants to catch a midnight screening of, say, “Humanoids from the Deep” (even though it’s totally on YouTube).

According to Anderson Cooper, Bachmann’s drummed-up accusations came from a Republican lobbyist’s self-published book that has no sources to back up its claims. The CNN anchor directed his viewers to a Washington Post story that, unlike Bachmann’s sound bite, lists academic studies showing that George W. Bush’s White House expenses in the fiscal year 2008 were higher than President Obama’s. Instead of answering the reporter’s perfectly legitimate questions, Bachmann kept her walking-and-talking point connected to the one thing on which the GOP loves to hang its wide brim hat: Bengazi.

“She was moving so fast,” Bash told Cooper, “I have to tell you it tested my endurance.” You gotta hand it to Bachmann: She’s damn good at this stuff. Watch the segment below.

1. To bad she just doesn't run away where noone has to listen to her.

[Aerows]

10. That would be a blessing

She's malevolent enough to keep speaking her trash, though.

[Voice for Peace]

2. so glad I'm not her, for so many reasons.

[sharp_stick]

3. She really makes Minnesota look bad

Al Franken can polish off some of the grime but damn this woman is right up there with Louis Gohmert in the fucking loon category.

You know that Gerrymandering works wonders when a true intellectual lightweight like Bachmann can cruise to re-election. My fucking cat could out-debate this twit.

7. intellectual lightweight

Likely she wanted the Intelligence Committee post because she thought there would be audio books and other things to bring her up to an 80 IQ.

[Brother Buzz]

15. She makes Minnesota's 6th district look bad

I understand she is not well received by the rest of the fine state of Minnesota. I also understand there is a good chance she will not survive the mid term election; her shelf life has expired.

4. Michelle Bachmann is a poser.

A fraud, a phony, and a prima donna. She is a discredit to the people of Minnesota.

[datasuspect]

5. unhinged

who in the living fuck are these breathing fucksticks that elect pieces of shit like this?

[Brickbat]

6. She has a history of running away and hiding.

Hiding in the bushes to spy on a pro-gay-rights rally at the state capitol, fleeing from constituents at a town hall meeting and then claiming that militant lesbians trapped her in the bathroom and harassed her...

[AndyA]

8. Bachmann is a crazy lunatic and a liar

She doesn't want to be confronted with facts, she wants to spew garbage out of her mouth and not be held accountable for her statements.

Is it any wonder this country is so screwed up, when we have people like her making the decisions?

She ought to be removed from office, and deported to Crazystan where she can be amongst others just like her.

[Aerows]

9. In other words

She's full of shit.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

11. Where was all this right-wing lunatic outrage after bush/cheney

ignored the PDB warning of Aug 6, 2001 warning that bin laden was poised to strike the U.S.?

Where was the fucking outrage at those war criminals allowing the deaths of 3000 Americans on the morning of September 11, 2001?

She needs to shut her foul fucking mouth!

[HughBeaumont]

12. Didn't she run from reporters at a State Fair a few years back?

I'd post a video, but I'm at work and you know how that is.

Mickey B seems to be an expert at sprinting while in her figurative hamster bubble. The fact that she's a continuously elected official and cable news gives this nut-dish a voice should thoroughly embarrass this country. But somehow, it doesn't seem to. I find that troublesome.

[tblue37]

13. She's hauling tush so fast that her hair is blowing in the wind!

I am reminded at the end there of Joe Scarborough chanting, "Benghazi! Benghazi! Benghazi!" to shut down Mika and whoever his other panelist was that day when they tried to raise some legitimate topic that showed Republicans in a bad light.

They are all like Chatty Cathy dolls (remember them?). Just pull their strings and they chant one of a few prel-loaded (and pre-tested) phrases.

[Blue Owl]

14. It's OK Michelle -- CNN is a safe harbor for rapists and republicans

n/t

[Cirque du So-What]

16. How did she ever attain a law degree?

That takes a modicum of intelligence, after all, which leads me to believe she's not as stupid as she lets on. Still, it must be a feat of logical gymnastics to hold such stupid ideas if she actually doesn't believe her own BS.

[olddots]

17. imagine her being president

she runs from soft ball questions from CNN .I'd like to see everyone at CPAC running off a pier .

[sinkingfeeling]

18. Is that hate fest still going on?
