Michele Bachmann for the Stark Raving Looney Party: "We're Running Out of Rich People"

by Teh Nutroots | I wish we could say the same about poor people.  That's what you and I would call progress.  But Bachmann is a GOP caricature, meaning she's always completely up front about her real concerns.  Yep, post another entry in the Big Book O' Republican stark raving loonitude. From HuffPost's Rachel Weiner:

In an interview with a conservative talk show host, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) has once again embarrassed herself. Posted by the blog Dump Bachmann and picked up by the MN Progressive Project, the clip has the Minnesota Republican telling KLTK's Chris Baker that she opposes she stimulus because we're "running out of rich people in this country."

Heh.  Benen says:

At one point, Bachmann told the host, "We are literally losing our country."

Congresswoman, you've literally lost something, but I don't think it's your country.

Benen's got a list here of examples of further "unhinged stupidity" which Bachmann ""explained" to the host and Minnesota audience," all of which is wrong, untrue, "in no way grounded in reality," and advanced out of what I am very much afraid is her completely sincere belief that she is merely uttering facts. 

It is simultaneously hilarious and frightening. "I should also note that we're not talking about some strange nut screaming on a street corner; this is all coming from an elected member of Congress," Benen deadpans, just exactly as if the two were mutually exclusive.

Enjoy the onward March of the Morans here.  Viva the Nutterdammerung! .

Speaking of which, somebody's hurt the Malkin's feeeeeeeeelings again.
