I'm not telling people they should vote for Bachmann. Hell, as a republican, there's virtually zero chance she'd get my vote.

My problem is that Rolling Stone has allowed someone who has spent the last several years spewing incredibly well-written hyperbole about the republican party to write a profile about a republican presidential candidate.

In the next issue of RS, Michelle Malkin profiles Michelle Obama...

 

Seriously, if you want someone to go back and post a bunch of ignorant quotes from Obama that would not be very difficult. The fact of the matter is that Taibbi is a lefty and I doubt anyone reading the profile on Bachmann expected anything other than exactly what they read. I doubt that piece changed anyone's mind...it just made those on the left chuckle because, of course, they know she is a "lightweight dingbat" and those on the left shrug because, well, that's Taibbi being himself. It isn't like this profile will make one bit of difference either way. I think even the independents realize Taibbi is what he is...a gifted, brilliant writer who chooses to use his gifts to take a giant crap on people more often than not.

 

I really agree with this. Bachmann can get the attention now, and Romney and Perry can get the attention a year from now.

 

For Bush being such an idiot, Obama has continued a lot of his initiatives.

 

Bush 43 graduated from Yale & Harvard Business School.

Al Gore flunked out of Divinity School and Law School.

Who does the media portray as the smarter, more learned individual?

Bush had better grades than John Kerry. Kerry went to B.C. Law School, despite doing his undergrad work at Yale. That's not an upward path.

Who did the media portray as more serious, more thoughtful, and educated candidate?

 

Another great point.

 

Mizzou and Boom...do you realize you are trying to convince a board full of liberals that George W. Bush is smarter than ANYONE...and that this is the greatest exercise in futility you could ever take on? I have a nice brick wall if you want to come over and bang your heads against it.

 

Why can't you just tell DoubleDown that the facts aren't in dispute and move on.

 

I drew blood on that brick wall in 2008.
