Tom Toles for May 30, 2013

Musta seen how well it worked for Sarah P.

So much for the Left getting the memo when Obama called for civility in politics. OHHHH!!! That’s right, it didn’t mean THEM, just meant for the Right. I’ve never been able to accuse the Left of being civil.

We should be so lucky. Too bad she doesn’t really mean to get out of the public eye. Oh no. It’ll be Fox, Redstate, World Nut Daily, and Breitbart spots ad nauseam a la Palin. Lot of goobers out there willing to be fleeced.

When does her job at FauxNews start?

Yeah, who’s gonna pay her all that money to go shopping, aside from her “farm subsidy”, which is probably propping up her hubby’s “business”?

I’ll miss her history lectures.-What’s amazing is that Fox “news” viewers actually believe her. Amazing and disgusting.

Oh, yah, baby!

I look into my crystal ball and see a lucrative Fox News career ahead, complete with her guarantees of a permanent high-quality government pension and healthcare for her and her huge welfare family for life.

No, that’s exactly Bachmann’s core principal. The problem you have with your projection is that liberals these days generally base their ideas on truth. Bachmann bases hers on bizarre unsupported conspiracy theories that wouldn’t make any sense even if there WERE evidence. (Note: immunizations don’t cause retardation. FEMA does not have internment camps. Government CAN create jobs, and cutting taxes on rich people does not boost the economy.)

“She will run for President in 2016”

She already ran for president and she lost to Robme, who then lost to Obama.

I hope she does!

“She will run for President in 2016”Who, Bachmann? If she does, it will be as spectacular of a failure as her 2012 Presidential run. She represents a staunchly conservative congressional district, yet only received 55% of the votes cast in her reelection campaign.

“She will run for President in 2016.”If you mean Hillary, maybe. If you mean Bachmann, no she is politically dead. She has been exposed as a hotheaded lightweight, same as Palin. Bachmann will follow the Palin trail & make some money on TV & speaking for extreme conservative groups.

Somebody else will havve to step up to the plate…… Ummm, There are already too many? Oh, OK.

Hey, maybe there is a god! No … wait … it hasn’t happened yet, has it.

“Don’t you people ever get tired of being the intellectual equivalents of rodeo clowns?”

I’d say that was an insult to rodeo clowns, who are fit, highly skilled and perform a necessary and dangerous function in support of fellow competitors.

Doesn’t sound much like the New GOP to me …

Leaving Bachman out of it, vaccinations are a medical procedure, and should not be mandated by government.

The government should not be practising medicine. It has no license.

Ahab/Hawthorne: we obviously need to bring back smallpox and polio to give our younger generation a challenge to get along without “government mandates”.

“GOP mandating that women receive forced vaginal ultrasounds “are a medical procedure, and should not be mandated by government. The government should not be practising medicine.”

Brilliant. Thank you.

Or a religious demagogue. Or a right-wing wackaloon anti-science kook. Or a clown posting under the name “onguard.”

Bingo.American politics as it is now can be reduced to two sentences:1) Republicans are the problem.2) Democrats are not the solution.You read it here first.

“And I’ve been doing it for free all this time?”The difference being I highly doubt the young women Bachmann took in were in any danger of being taken advantage of by Marcus.

She will be missed, mostly by late night comedians but also by RWNJ’s that she made look less crazy.
