She's the new Palin. I'm sure we've all seen The Daily Show make fun of the above fact. She got her timeline wrong.

She's a perfect example of Colbert's 'truthiness' concept. Facts don't matter as long as the emotion is right--pretty much what Rousseau said a couple of centuries ago when he was in his Romantic mood.

Hilarity ensues....

(Warning:If you choose to watch the video and own a weapon, make sure you put your pistol in its box, lock up the box and put it in the closet. Gather all other rifles and shotguns and put them in the closet along with your pistol, then lock up the closet. Take all ammunition, seperate it and lock the ammo up somewhere else. Go back to your computer, press play and prepare yourself to become a little more than 2 minutes stupider.)

Michelle Bachmann has been in politics for nearly 10 years and thats the best you can come up with?? No wonder why the left is so afraid of her.
A decade of her gaffes equals about 1 week of gaffes in Joe-Biden-world. I admit its a bit weird to hear her talk about God/religion, but in all fairness she was preaching to the choir, not on capital hill.
I've seen her on TV quite a bit and for the most part she is extremely articulate and knowledgeable.
Just for fun, here are some of Obama's gaffes. Not that you would ever know from watching the mainstream media. At least not to the extent you would hear about Sarah Palins missteps 24/7.
