Dems in power during flu, Bachmann notes

It was only a matter of time before the CDC discovered an outbreak of Michele Bachmann quotes.

Bachmann, speaking on Pajamas TV, noted: "I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under another Democrat president Jimmy Carter. And I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it's an interesting coincidence."

The 1976 swine flu scare happened on Gerald Ford's watch.

We checked Wikipedia.

Ford was a Republican.

5. wow and 9 out of the last 10 recessions happened under a Republican

What a coincidence!

[havocmom]

6. Yep, under Ford, but that won't stop the mad woman from her insane rants

Students of history, the GOP aren't.

Say what you want to be true, and keep saying it until people believe it IS true. That is the lesson of the Newt to young GOP pols back in the 90s. Truth isn't important. Selling YOUR argument is all that counts.

Newt is the godfather of the political insanity of marketing over substance of recent years. Bachmann is just the logical result.

7. Once again the Co2 breathing, hide from gays behind the bushes crazy ass Bachmann shows her insanity

Ford was a Bush Crime Family, JFK coverup participating placeholder. Which makes him a Repuke.

8. She is such a moron .............

You look into those eyes, those hollow, empty, unseeing eyes with just a hint of the crazed about them.

She is, really, a gift that keeps on giving. And Tweety pounds her into the ground every damn time, so today is one of those days when I love Tweety.

Tomorrow, he'll do something dickish, and I'll hate him. This happens .....................................

12. Lord is she stupid but when ....

... Newt is the intellectual part of the party

and Rush is the mouth of the party and Rep. Marsha Blackburn tries to outsmart Al Gore

and Mitch McChinless tries to hold up the H.H.S. Sec. during a global flu outbreak

and Sen. Burr of N.C. blocks a double amputee war hero in Tammy Duckworth from working to help vets

and Rep. John Boner wears bronze make up and throws things on the house floor ..... she fits right in.
