Bachmann runs from prior gay stmts-Anderson Cooper reports

Welcome to the national stage, Ms Bachmann.

I think they missed the more interesting part of the interview, where she deflected on a question of "would you appoint an openly gay judge?". To me, that's a fair, substantive question - and her ridiculous evasive answer makes her position pretty clear. Either she's straight up homophobic, or relying on the votes of homophobes who would not want a gay judge.

Either possibility is really embarrassing at this point. I'm also disappointed when interviewers aren't better prepared for ridiculous stonewalling - he could have done better at forcing this point.

American politics is such a shambles right now; either they're morons or so desperate to get a piece of the moron vote, that they'll persist in utter nonsense while their country falls apart. This is a prime example, as was the "birther" tragi-comedy. And it's not just Republicans.

Remember the obvious fake Rather-gate Bush memos? It was ridiculous the lengths people went to to avoid writing them off, either (again) because they were credulous morons or they weren't sure whether there would be enough other credulous that it would be worth holding out hope.

USA, please get your crap together - it's messing up the whole world.

As a Canadian, I can not fathom how this woman is getting any media attention what so ever.
She is bat shit crazy and her views are myopic at best.

It really scares me sometimes being so close to a Country that has such a willingness to go to war, and to imagine a person as stupid as this in charge of the United States.

We're not real big on redeeming qualities here in the USA, you see. We like people that make us feel smarter.

Gee, watching this really makes me nervous hoping an democrat gets elected in 2012. I don't want to imagine what it would be like if a souless, two-faced idealouge made it into the whitehous.... He already did? Promised change and delivered turd cupcakes you say? They're figuatively licking a corn kernel out of their own asshole in the false belief it's a tasty fresh ear of corn you say? Well sir, I contest that Americans aren't so messianic they would imbue their [liars] with such lofty attributes that this behaviour was out of the question.

Christine O'Donnell seems to have been taking lessons from the Bachmann:

Being close doesn't put you any more at risk...our military-industrial complex can deliver multiple megatons of destruction anywhere on the globe. All for the low, low price of just a few billion dollars a week.
