| Ah, come on--one more quick Bachmann story before we go to the elections.
Just 44 minutes ago, more false witness from America's most notorious evangelical conservative:
PolitiFact: In recent statement, Bachmann's pants are 'on fire'

U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann told Sean Hannity on his Fox News Channel show last month that the House health care bill prohibits people from buying private health insurance after a certain date.
(But according to Politifact:)
"Bachmann isn't just guilty of misinterpreting the language from one page of the bill. She's taken that misinterpretation to a ridiculous extreme -- the claim that no private insurance could be sold after a certain date...That ignores the central tenet of a plan that's been discussed for months -- that the plan would rely on a marketplace of private insurance."
...
(Politifact) reviewed seven of Bachmann's statements in the past year. It found three of her statements to be false and four got a rating of "pants on fire."

So she's seven and O as this week, just like my beloved New Orleans Saints. Truly astonishing. Seven high profile claims by Bachmann evaluated; seven high profile claims exposed as lies.
And this is the rising star of the Republican Party: a role model for other politicians, according to conservatives! |
