Bachmann Tries To “Pray The Gay Questions Away”
For any of you loyal Rocketeers who did not happen to see “Meet The Press” yesterday, you are in for a special treat here at the Blast-Off today!
For one of the very few times since he has taken over the program following the untimely death of Tim Russert, David Gregory actually held a guest’s feet to the fire during an interview. Yesterday’s guest was Republican Presidential candidate and Tea Party favorite Michele Bachmann fresh-off her Ames (Iowa) Straw Poll victory. For the first several minutes, Gregory was his usual self in that he asked questions which Bachmann ducked and he did not thoroughly follow-up thereafter.
To be fair, Gregory did push back a little bit when Bachmann claimed that she was, what Republicans like to refer to as a “job creator”. He asked her to explain that assertion. Bachmann then said that she was an attorney at the IRS. Gregory quickly shot back that her position was not one which created jobs and that in fact, her particular job was one which was created by the federal government. Point-Gregory.
Gregory truly hit his stride however, when he questioned Bachmann about her own statements regarding gays. Rather than try to recreate the magic in print, let’s watch the actual interview:
Ouch! That is going to leave a mark, especially with gay and socially moderate voters throughout America. Not only did Michele Bachmann say that gays are “part of Satan”, but she made it clear that she would not appoint gays to any important positions within her administration or to judgeships if she were to be elected President. How do we know this? Because she said that any potential appointees must share her views. Since it is a certainty that no gays will share her view that they are “part of Satan”, it is also a certainty that none will be appointed to those positions.
Will Michele Bachmann dare to appear on “Meet The Press” again any time soon? Don’t count on it.

BACHMANN
(sung to the television theme song “The Flinstones”)
Bachmann. Michele Bachman
A Congresswoman that is bat crazy
She and Sarah Palin
Driving voters from the G.O.P.
She can’t form a sentence that’s complete
Now she’s targeted for big defeat
When you’re Michele Bachmann
You’re just living off the state dime
Endorsing hate crimes
Exposed during prime time
Bachmann. Michele Bachman
Hates Blacks, children and those that are gay
She is clearly brain dead
Can’t seem to get out of her own way
She talks right through the rain, snow and sleet
Every single thought is incomplete
When you’re Michele Bachmann
You’re just living off the state dime
Endorsing hate crimes
Exposed during prime time

You may have inspired me to write a “She’s Got Bettie Davis Eyes” song parody! Thank you.

Judging by today’s WSJ, Rupert has seen enough: “Mrs. Bachmann has emerged from cable-TV land in recent months to be a viable competitor. More substantively, her attempt to position herself at all times as the anti-establishment outsider has made her seem on occasion less principled than opportunistic.
She quickly distanced herself from Paul Ryan’s Medicare reform when it came under liberal fire, even as she purports to be the scourge of uncontrolled spending. Her recent opposition to the debt-ceiling deal on grounds that GOP leaders should have insisted on first passing a balanced budget amendment, while holding only the House, was a political fantasy.”
By Jove! I like the cut of your jib!

Plutocrate Pete, LOL! I didn’t realize you were a nihilistic moron willing to crash the entire economy…
Gadzooks, I say old chap….
So, like Bush, she will appoint no one to her Cabinet who doesn’t ‘share my views.’ That is totally terrifying. A Cabinet should not be a bunch of yes-men who agree with every ludicrous thought in the POTUS’ head. She doesn’t understand governing at all. Go away, Michele…ma shell.
Wait until her husband is outed by some kid on Craigslist. Or some guy in the men’s room at the airport or something like that.
