“I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970’s 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 is an interesting coincidence.”
-House Representative Michelle Bachman (R-MN) on April 27th, 2009 once again getting her facts wrong in her quest to demonize President Obama and the Democrats. The swine flu outbreak she is referring to was in February 1976 under Republican President Gerald Ford, eleven months before President Carter took office.
Seriously, how does this woman keep getting elected?

I must be because I simply found this funny.
Seriously. You should meet the people she represents. I'd offer to take you on a tour of her district but I don't go up there anymore. I'll give you a map if you want to go and stop by on the way ... phone numbers ... you can stop in with some of my relatives who vote for her ... like Lake Woebegone but stupider and meaner. More self-satisfied.
