The president was lofty. "We will move forward together, or not at all — for the challenges we face are bigger than party, and bigger than politics," he said in his State of the Union address.
The official Republican response, too, aimed high. "Americans are skeptical of both political parties, and that skepticism is justified — especially when it comes to spending," said Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. "So hold all of us accountable."
And then there was Michele Bachmann.
As the leader of the Tea Party Caucus in the House, the Minnesota Republican gave her own, unauthorized response to the State of the Union, live from the National Press Club, filmed by Fox News, broadcast live on CNN and telecast by the Tea Party Express. It had all the altitude of a punch to the gut.
"After the $700 billion bailout, the trillion-dollar stimulus and the massive budget bill with over 9,000 earmarks, many of you implored Washington to please stop spending money that we don't have," Bachmann said. "But, instead of cutting, we saw an unprecedented explosion of government spending and debt. It was unlike anything we've ever seen in the history of our country."
Armed with charts and photographs, but not a word of fellowship, she railed against "a bureaucracy that tells us which light bulbs to buy, and which may put 16,500 IRS agents in charge of policing President Obama's health care bill."

I have it! Palin Bachmann in 2012!
Who does it have to be authorized by?
Bachmann does live in an alternative universe. One where you have to pay your debts and can’t borrow forever.
I think what we’re seeing here is flat-out panic set in as the Lieberals are realizing the shellacking has only just begun if they continue their big govt-big spending agenda. So as the Adults take over again, the only cards they have to play are the predictable ones - race, hate, stupid, alternate universe, looking into wrong camera, etc ad nauseum...
I guess since he’s decided that Gov. Palin’s name won’t pass his lips, he has to find another conservative woman to be catty about.
Bachmann Lives In An Alternate Universe

Where is it?
I’m packing my bags and headed there pronto...
It the same Article I posted this AM with a alternate title. The more the merrier, I reckon.
They were pissing on her because the REPUBLICAN party did not approve.
Geaux Tea Party
Amen to that
In SA German it is called "Gauleiter."
So I geuss he’s subbing his obsession for Palin with his obsession with Bachmann. These liberal men and their hatred on conservative women would make for an interesting pschyological study.
Since this is an adult website, We are not interested in the thing which will pass his puckered lips especially if it involves the anatomy of someone else I am not interested in.
Do I sound aggrieved?
How did a WaPo kool-aid drinker make it onto IBD?
