Pat Oliphant for June 16, 2011

Did Michelle say those things?

Crazy She-Bat comes to mind

Because you don’t like him? There’s nothing in this toon that is false.

Sarah Palin’s twin?

Nope. It’s was clear from the statements that she thought Concord, NH was where the “shot heard around the world” happened.

It was equally unambiguous that she didn’t realize the founding fathers did not end slavery.

I’m pretty sure she knows there isn’t 57 states – and this isn’t 2008…

I don’t think Pat has drawn Michele before. It looks like he’ll make her into a harpy the same way he made Palin into one.

And THIS is who they’re calling the winner of the Repub debate.

It’s not Bachmann getting history wrong that amazes me so much as her screaming paranoia and wild-eyed religious fanaticism.

i’m sorta libertarian, but i can see that this crowd of clowns is gonna make it easy for bho to go for 8.c’mon, gop, quit the dork-fest; as trudeau noted: Do we really want to give this individual nuclear weapons?

I don’t know of a worse way to choose a leader than a popular vote. The constitution sets up an ideal way to elect a president, but we do not follow the intent or the wisdom of the process. We elect the members to the Electoral College, but then require them to vote the way we would if doing so in our own living room, or in the outhouse. The Electoral College should be a sitting body of intellectuals and high minded citizens who would, nominate, elect and install a President in accordance with the best practice of the system. This would prevent the rise of air heads who match the mentality of the majority. It certainly would not prevent all mistakes, but could be a much better way than smoke filled rooms, primary elections, rubber stamp Electoral College, and president for life by incumbent’s decision.

I live in Minnesota and Michelle Bachmann is batsh$% crazy..

I still like the fact that Michelle’s chief of staff said she would be just as pretty as Palin, but smarter. Now there are some serious qualifications. Of course, the party of people like Bush II, Newt, Perry, Cain, et al has a long way to go. Fortunately for them, they can make historical mistakes and they will go over the head of their followers.

An unusually cheap shot, Pat.

She is batshit crazy and uninformed, the perfect GOP candidate.

Beware the St Cloud Harpie.

the tune is “Michelle- Ma Bell” who never met a corporate monopoly she didn’t like. She demands a porthole in her environmental yellow submarine- so she can open it under water. And her world of Oz is filled with scarecrows singing merrily down the yellow brick road in search of….

She is freaking crazy.

Richard, I believe the error was that he was trying to say he had visited forty-seven states (out of the 48 continental states), and he mistakenly said “fifty” instead of “forty”. I think it was on Snopes where I read that.

Pat, I admire your work, but your Weiner is noticeably absent.

As a conservative, whose politics are more 18th century republican than anything current, I wonder just what happened that our country and culture produces people like this, on either side of the aisle???

The last era of prosperity was under Clinton. No one else but the rich have prospered since then.

Democrats have always had to depend on the kindness of strangers. As soon as you know a Democrat, you have taken the first step to becoming a Republican and later an informed citizen.

Oliphant takes cheap shots because he ain’t got the collective wit to put two pennies together and make sense out of them.

His dominate audience thinks what he says is gospel so he too thinks it is. All you hick hipsters out there are gonna be a might bit hurting’ come 2012 when all your WORST nightmares come true. We gonna show you how to live an upstanding life without being permanently attached to that guvmint teet.

Darrow…for the Prosecution

^Wow, that’s impressively illiterate and ignorant. And using the Unibomber as your picture? Charming. Really charming.

@ Craig Linder…thanks for the info. Gotta do more research.

Yeah, I bet you’d say the same to the Civil Rights movement back in the 60’s. You got yours, so f**k everyone else, eh?

A GOP quote: “She makes Sarah Palin look like Count Metternich,” - Mike Murphy

Too bad Christine O’Donnell is off the radar. Pat drew her so CUTE!

In “Armageddon”, actor Keith David described the oil drillers as “a bunch of retards I wouldn’t trust with a potatoe gun.” The same pretty much describes the GOP candidates so far. I’m not convinced Obama is our best choice in 2012, but so far there isn’t a GOP leader worth consideration.Every one of them preaches reducing the national debt, yet every one also preaches reducing the national income (cutting taxes) and sees no inconsistency. Merely cutting spending will not reduce the debt. At the very best it will keep it from increasing.Solutions to the economy are obvious and could be done, but no career politician of either party has the guts to even suggest them publicly—well, except for increased taxation, which the Dems do suggest and which is absolutely and unavoidably necessary to start reducing the debt, but won’t help the economy.

I know it was Newt who suggested loyalty oaths, but the fact that he was taken seriously when he said it tell me all I need to know about the mindset of the GOP. They are ready to bring back McCarthyism.

Don’t believe anything you read on the Politico without verification.

Bachmann is against government subsides…except for herself and her cronies.
