We love Michele Bachmann. But we love her for all the wrong reasons. It seems like she says something awesome every single week. Ever since she went on Hardball and called for an investigation into members of Congress (and Barack Obama) for anti-American bias, she’s been a gaffe machine. The hits keep coming. Yesterday she had two more. You be da man, Michele. You be da man!
In the first clip, Bachman tries to make a connection between swine flu and “Democrat” Presidents. Even though the 1976 outbreak happened under Gerald Ford and not Jimmy Carter.
Then in the second clip, she blames the Great Depression on the “Hoot-Smalley” act, which doesn’t exist. The “Smoot-Hawley” Tariff Act, on the other hand, had been signed into law by Herbert Hoover in 1930. “Hoot Smalley” sounds like some nickname she probably gave to girls in the locker room. Somebody needs to get her a history book or Wikipedia or something.
