See Update!!! and Update II and Update III and Update IV below.
Michele Bachmann on Joe Wilson’s outburst:
The President’s speech on Wednesday was just the same plan you have already rejected wrapped up in the President’s charisma. They can’t argue on the facts or the issues, so they have to make it about personalities and they have to paint stupid conservatives like me as evil, uninformed, or crazy.
Update!!! I am told I got that quotation wrong. She did not say “stupid” conservatives like her. She said “strong”. I want to set the record straight, and keep the journalistic integrity at this site above average.
My bad.
Update II: Shortly after posting this I got an email from Halberto Fredlund at the Institute for IQ Evaluation in Landover, MD. According to Fredlund, Bachmann “is indeed stupid, by our measurements. Her grasp of issues is narrow, and her frame of reference is ‘us’ versus ‘them’ where ‘them’ are ‘elites’ and ‘pointyheads who brag about their education as if it gave them ‘common sense’, which I have a lot of,'” in Bachmanns’ own words. “Such defenses,” said Fredlund, “are standard for the low-IQ reactionary, and are especially prevalent among conservative Christian right wingers.” I can only add to that a study done by Jonas Beerston of the Paramount Institute, which quantified the IQ of various public figures by measuring the quality public rhetoric and scaling it according to broadness of frames of reference, reactionary nature of thoughts, and “black” vs “white” thinking. According to Beerston, Sarah Palin’s IQ was “almost negligible, perhaps in the low 80’s”, while Bachmann scored a good deal higher, at 90. Newt Gingrich, on the other hand, scores in the high 130’s, indicating that there are indeed significant intellectual abilities are in the Republican party, but that they seemed confined to a few very smart leaders who have many dumb followers. The Democratic Party, said Beerston, is “pretty much the same.”
Update III: Another emailer, this from a reader in New Hampshire, says “Cut the snidety! You ain’t no Einstein.” To which I confess, I ain’t no Einstein. I could be in way over my head, not understanding negotiating and confrontation theory and all. Still another emailer, this one from Montana, says “There is more knowledge about journalism in a thimble than you possess.” To which I confess, I know nothing about modern journalism, other than it isn’t very informative.
Update IV: True sotry: Police in Radnor, PA, interrogated a teabagger accused of a crime by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message “He’s lying” was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the teabagger wasn’t telling the truth. Believing the “lie detector” was working, the teabagger confessed.
Please submityour stupid teabagger jokes here.

Kind of works, but too strident.

It has been ‘suggested’ to us by our leaders and certain undisclosed PR firms working for the Democratic National Committee and the makers of Prius’s that we begin to openly voice our criticism of teabaggers as being stupid people.
Since we are suggestible, and followers by nature, we are doing as is suggested to us.
