While in New Hampshire, Michelle Bachmann gave the state credit for the battles of Lexington and Concord, telling a group of like brain dead legislators:
“You’re the state where the shot was heard around the world in Lexington and Concord,’’ … “And you put a marker in the ground and paid with the blood of your ancestors the very first price that had to be paid to make this the most magnificent nation that has ever arisen in the annals of man in 5,000 years of recorded history.’’
Not to worry. They all sympathized:
“Honestly, when she did it, everybody looked around, obviously, and was like ‘uh oh,’ but she carries herself in such a professional way — they’re all legislators in that room, and every single one of them has made the exact same mistake, maybe not on the same topic,’’ said Andrew Hemingway, chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire, which organized the event, in a phone interview. “When you’re speaking publicly that much, you’re going to make mistakes and say, ‘I know better.’ ’’ (Emphasis added)
I’m not quite sure how one could make exactly the same mistake, but not on the same topic, but let that pass. Bachmann, however, did make the exact same mistake, twice, in the same speech, which leads this reality based guy to believe that the word “mistake” doesn’t quite apply. In her defense, it’s asking a lot for her to keep track of all 50 states, particularly the small ones that are crammed so close together.
I do so hope she runs. I’m looking forward to the Bachmann-Palin match-up, as they ratchet up the crazy to lay claim to the tea party vote.
