Gore Vidal on Michele Bachmann: "She's too stupid to deserve an answer"
After Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., claimed last month that she left the Democratic Party and became Republican because she was horrified by the portrayal of the Founding Fathers in Gore Vidal's 1973 historical novel "Burr," I reached out to the 85-year-old author.

And today, through an assistant, Vidal offered this written statement in response to Bachmann's creation myth:

"She is too stupid to deserve an answer."

I know this has probably been posted here already, but I've read this twice and I can't stop laughing. :rofl:
