Already in poll quicksand, Malicious Malkin’s hand-picked candidate and honeygirl, Michelle Bachmann, all but torpedoed her own campaign over the weekend when she started channeling Pat Robertson, stating that Hurricane Irene was “God’s warning” to Washington, DC.
GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann says Hurricane Irene and last week’s earthquake are messages from God to warn politicians to start heeding divine guidance.
Bachmann made the remarks during a campaign stop Sunday in Sarasota, Fla., attended by about 1,000 people, the St. Petersburg Times reported.
“I don’t know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians,” the third-term congresswoman from Minnesota said. “We’ve had an earthquake; we’ve had a hurricane. He said, ‘Are you going to start listening to me here?'”
Robertson, as you’ll recall, proclamed (among other things), that God wouldn’t protect the town of Dover, PA, over their dumb-assed tossing of intelligent-design advocates in their school board elections.  (Which may or may not be true, but I don’t think I’d be naming names when it comes to something like that, but rather speaking in more general terms, y’know?)
It didn’t help things any that Bachmann was already viewed as a flake – now she’s confirmed it.  And killed any chance she ever thought she might have at the White House.
Now, she did  try walking this dumbshittery back, calling her comments a “joke” – but the damage was already done.
S’long, Michelle, we hardly knew ye.  Now Malicious Malkin is gonna have to find another RINO to kiss up to. 
UPDATE:  Actually, I probably shouldn’t call Bachmann a RINO – her conservative street cred is probably sufficient.
But she is  an idiot.  We knew this when she hired Ed “I Hate Sarah Palin” Rollins to be her campaign coordinator.  Which, nowadays, is like begging Bob Shrum to run it.
So let’s say that Malicious Malkin has to find another fellow idiot to cozy up to, and leave it at that.

Unfortunately, it seems as if my favored candidate is not doing well. It is my considered opinion that Herman Cain’s business experience more than qualifies him to be president. We have seen what career politicians do, and we have seen what community organizers do. Now I think it is time to give the businessman a chance.
