Michele Bachmann EPIC FAIL: The Gift That Just. Won't. Quit. Giving.

It's getting so bad that I'm starting to actually feel sorry for her. The Minneapolis City Paper reports that Michele Bachmann, that Energizer Bunny of Crazy, came up with a one-to-one mapping of swine flu outbreaks and ... well, did another public face-plant, courtesy of Pantload Pajamas Media:

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.

Let's do just a little deconstruction:

• "Democrat Party". Still reading out of the Luntz codebook, I see – so 2002.
• Jimmy Carter was President from Jan 20, 1977. The 1976 Swine flu outbreak debuted on the 5th of Februaru 1976 ... when Gerald Ford was President. Who was, as History records, a Republican.
• "and I'm not blaming this on President Obama." I just want you to associate the words "Swine flu epidemic" with words that sound very much like "Larack Wobama".

Not interesting. Not a coincidence. Just another clumsy, ham-handed, Michele Bachmann-brand EPIC FAIL.

It's getting so I'm hurting for her whenever she lays another egg. She certainly doesn't let it bother her.
