CNN just depthbombed Bachman

[GCP]

They told her which camera to look into and lied!

[pacalo]

1. Should have told her it was behind her. :)

[gratuitous]

2. They did

That's just the way Michelle "Crazy Eyes" Bachmann looks.

3. Perhaps she went all Vizzini on them:

CNN: All right. Which camera is on? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide where it is, and find out who is right... and who looks like an idiot.

Bachman: But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of network who would tell me which camera was on, or lie? Now, a clever network would lie, because they would know that only a great fool would accept what she was told. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the camera you suggested. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the other camera.

CNN: You've made your decision then?

Bachman: Not remotely. Because media moguls come from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the camera you suggested.

CNN: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.

Bachman: Wait til I get going! Now, where was I?

4. OK! That's Good!

:rofl:

5. Usually there's a light on the one that on so that speakers

know which one to face...

6. She was reading the teleprompter

"Real" TV cameras have built-in teleprompters so that you look into the camera while reading them. It appears the tea party folks didn't use one.

7. It really puts you on the edge when she looks just barely off camera.

Created exactly the effect that it should have.
