The difference here is that Bachmann is batsh*t crazy.

So, just how crazy is batsh*t crazy? Is it more or less crazy than catshi*t crazy? How about bullshi*t crazy? Inquiring minds want to know.

Acting in a generally insane manner; Tom Cruise.
When Tom Cruise jumped on Oprah's couch, he proved he was bat-sh*t crazy.

One step beyond just plain crazy. It is usually a temporary thing...sparked by something unexpected, or just really awful.
As soon as he saw me humping his mom, he went bat-sh*t crazy.

Crazy to a degree bordering on complete insanity. The state in which one makes decisions which make the exact opposite of sense.

Why did Erin cheat on you with that greaseball?
- Because she's bat-sh*t crazy.

And NONE of this explains why you think she it. You will have to think for yourself for this answer. Not cutting and pasting definitions.

So I will ask you too. WHy does she appear crazy? No one will give a good reason for this thought.

Not only that they digitaly rommoved the audience noise making the scream sound insane..The tape was minuplated. Back in day before I lost interest I spoke many times in front of union members and after you work'em all into a frenzy you gotta start screaming just to be heard. Now If you took away the audience noise and just played what I was saying I'm sure it would sound insane as well...And lets give Michelle a Break..She has no chance so lets try to enjoy her while she's around. If you don't listen to the words she saying, she speaks very well and is somewhat enchanting.

Nobody here had asked why she is crazy. Here's some reasons:

(Sorry, Viking, but this is a cut & paste.)

1. "I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out under another, then under another Democrat president, Jimmy Carter. I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it's an interesting coincidence." -Rep. Michele Bachmann, on the 1976 Swine Flu outbreak that happened when Gerald Ford, a Republican, was president, April 28, 2009

2. "There are hundreds and hundreds of scientists, many of them holding Nobel Prizes, who believe in intelligent design." -Rep. Michele Bachmann, Oct. 2006

3. "Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas." -Rep. Michelle Bachmann, April, 2009

4. "Well what I want them to know is just like, John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa. That's the kind of spirit that I have, too" -Rep. Michele Bachmann, getting her John Waynes mixed up during an interview after launching her presidential campaign in Waterloo, Iowa, where she grew up. The beloved movie star John Wayne was born in Winterset, Iowa, three hours away. The John Wayne that Waterloo was home to is John Wayne Gacy, a notorious serial killer. (June 2011)

5. "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?" -Rep. Michelle Bachmann, calling for a new McCarthyism, Oct. 2008

6. "Take this into consideration. 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." -Rep. Michele Bachmann, June 2009

7. "If we took away the minimum wage -- if conceivably it was gone -- we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level." Michele Bachmann, Jan. 2005

8. "During the last 100 days we have seen an orgy. It would make any local smorgasbord embarrassed … The government spent its wad by April 26." -Rep. Michele Bachmann, accusing the Obama administration of premature fiscal ejaculation, May 2009

9. "That's why people need to continue to go to the town halls, continue to melt the phone lines of their liberal members of Congress, and let them know, under no certain circumstances will I give the government control over my body and my health care decisions." -Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), a pro-lifer who completely missed the irony of using the same slogan as the pro-choice movement in arguing against health care reform

10. "Does that mean that someone's 13-year-old daughter could walk into a sex clinic, have a pregnancy test done, be taken away to the local Planned Parenthood abortion clinic, have their abortion, be back and go home on the school bus? That night, mom and dad are never the wiser." -Rep. Michele Bachmann, on health care reform's potential to dupe parents, October 2009

That one's not crazy - it's funny

You know...I found that one and put it up for a second but deleted it. It's maybe good for a chuckle to some degree but I'm not keen on slamming female politicos in a sexist manner. And I think that does. Just sayin'....

You're right. I'll take it down.
