Have I mentioned yet that Amanda Marcotte is t3h hilarious?
I did? Oh goody! Well, here’s one more example. I almost did a spit take when I read this comment about Michelle “McCarthyism 2.0, bitches!” Bachmann’s plans to violate federal law by refusing to fill out the census:
Wingnuts have both long (still worried about how Bill Clinton invented the blow job and Ted Kennedy invented the drunk driving accident) and short memories, depending on what they need, and in this case, they’re being instructed to forget that the Census happens every ten years, that it’s constitutionally mandated, and that so far, it has not sapped you or any family members of precious bodily fluids. Instead, wingnuts are being instructed to be up in arms about the Obama administration’s new invention that is surely designed to rape your daughters and take your guns.
I can’t really top that in hilarity if I tried.
And just why was the crazy lady from Minnesota bragging about her intent to break the law a year from now?
In an interview Wednesday morning with The Washington Times “America’s Morning News,” Mrs. Bachmann, Minnesota Republican, said the questions have become “very intricate, very personal” and she also fears ACORN, the community organizing group that came under fire for its voter registration efforts the crime of registering Democratic voters last year, will be part of the Census Bureau’s door-to-door information collection efforts. [Fixed your typo, Moonie Times. — Ed.]
Yes, ACORN. She’s wrapping her head in tinfoil to answer the door when the Census Bureau comes calling! Isn’t that lovely?
I’m starting to see Canadian Cynic’s point on this — these people are not to be engaged or debated. They are to be mocked and ridiculed because clearly they are Not Serious Thinkers™.
