In yesterday’s post, Damocles buried the Minnesota meshugenah midway into a list of the 5 Scariest Things About the 2010 Midterms. I did not do her proper justice, and for that I am deeply sorry. Fortunately Video # 1. below—in which she rails to CNN’s Anderson Cooper about a totally false and comically absurd internet rumor that President Obama’s India trip will occupy 1/10th of the U.S. Naval Fleet and cost taxpayers $200 million a day—reminded me that Michele Bachmann is, hands down, the scariest person in Washington (almost as scary as the 52 percent of voters in Minnesota’s 6th District who re-elected her).
The India nonsense, of course, was repeated over and over again by our friends at FOX and all throughout the wingnut media. To Anderson’s credit, he dropped CNN’s mask of dispassionate objectivity and told Michele, essentially, that she makes shit up.

If you dare, here are some of Bachmann’s other greatest hits. There was:
2. THE GREAT KENYAN CENSUS CONSPIRACY
“If we look at American history, between 1942 and 1947, the data that was collected by the Census Bureau was handed over to the FBI and other organizations at the request of President Roosevelt, and that’s how the Japanese were rounded up and put into the internment camps. I’m not saying that that’s what the Administration is planning to do, but I am saying that private personal information that was given to the Census Bureau in the 1940s was used against Americans to round them up, in a violation of their constitutional rights, and put the Japanese in internment camps.”
3. WITCH HUNT (RELAX, CHRISTINE)
“I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out: Are they pro-America or anti-America?”
4. ELECTION NIGHT 2010: “HAVE YOU BEEN HYPNOTIZED?”
Basking in the glow of her victory, Sweet Mickey Glazed Eyes spooks Chris Matthews once again
5. ALL CULTURES ARE CREATED EQUAL—NOT!
A blast from the past—Michele campaigns in 2005
