The pants-pissers still fear ... THE SOVIET UNION!!

In an interview with conservative talk show host Jay Sekoluw, Bachmann said she knew what was bothering the American people. Bachmann described America's worries as a "unified message," before listing off about five things, one of which is a long-gone country:

It really is about jobs and the economy. That doesn't mean people haven't [sic] forgotten about protecting life and marriage and the sanctity of the family. People are very concerned about that as well. But what people recognize is that there's a fear that the United States is in an unstoppable decline. They see the rise of China, the rise of India, the rise of the Soviet Union and our loss militarily going forward.

Good answer, Michele. And what about the Ottoman Empire? Should we fear them, too? Is America prepared for a naval attack from the Phoenicians?

We are also quite amused by "our loss militarily going forward." In English that might have been expressed as "potential reduction of the defense budget," unless Rep. Bachmann believes these United Snakes are going to lose "militarily" some time in the future. The audio. Plus which.

And the just plain silly (Note: On the Just Another Blog™ devil-box there is a burst of irksome static as the advert starts, then, mercifully, there is no advert audio. Take the good w/ the bad, eh?):Who "came out today?" Mr. Representative Bachmann? Or was it Michele, advertising herself as a "man-ette?" And speaking of Mme. Bachmann's fashion adviser/buyer, has no one told him that those sleeveless dresses she wears are very immodest, if not downright slutty?
