Bachmann channeling Tailgunner Joe

First Joe Six Pack, then Joe the Plumber.  Now we’re hearing from another Joe, this time via the comedy stylings of Minnesota’s premiere nutjob, 6th District congresscreep Michele Bachmann…

From Jed L:

On whether there are anti-American members of Congress:
“The news media should do a penetrating expose and take a look. I wish they would, I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out are they are pro-America or anti-America.”

On Obama’s advisers:
“I think the people that Barack Obama has been associating with are anti-American, by and large.”

On whether Barack Obama himself is anti-American:
“Absolutely, I’m very concerned that he may have anti-American views.”

What was America’s reaction to the spectre of Joseph McCarthy feeding Michele Bachmann her lines on Hardball tonight?

Well,  let’s put it this way:  in the few hours since Bachmann’s appearance, her opponent El Tinklenburg has raised over $53,000 in campaign donations, and the last I heard  the total was still climbing by the minute.

To contribute:

Act Blue:  MN-06:  Time to Kick Michele Bachmann Out of Congress

C’mon, people:  before Bachmann holds a seance to summon up Roy Cohn (to keep Marcus occupied?),  let’s send this laughingstock, this wretched excuse for a human being, this poster girl for batshit insanity, this monumental embarrassment back to the fetid depths from whence she slithered.

* Yeah, I shoulda known I wouldn’t be the only one using the ‘channeling McCarthy’ line….
