It takes one idiot to praise another... Club for Growth's Chocola on Congresswoman Bachmann...

... and another to put out their press releases...

Another note for amusement for you folks... This just across the wire. It sounds like the new Club for Growth's president, Congressman Chris Chocola doesn't know what sex Michele Bachmann is... Or as one person notes, perhaps he wasn't sure about her, much like many of us aren't sure about Ann Coulter when looking at her Adam's apple...

Not clear whether Chris Chocola actually read his notes wrong and was quoted that way or if the copy editor screwed up. Now I remember the size of glasses that Chocola wore when I knew him as a kid in Michigan growing up, so it wouldn't be surprising if he read something oddly if he was missing his contacts or something like that.

Gender confusion from Bachmann’s office
July 30th, 2009 – 11:11 AM by Eric Roper

BachmannRelease.JPGRep. Michelle Bachmann’s office sent out a press release this morning announcing that the Club For Growth was honoring her with an award for defending “economic freedom.” The quotation from the club’s president Chris Chocola, however, was quite puzzling.

“With his/her score of 91%, Congresswoman Bachmann is a champion of the pro-growth agenda,” said Chocola.

(emphasis mine)

A good reminder to double-check your work when using the copy-paste function.
