HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELVIS!
Yes, those are the words uttered yesterday by GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, who was visibly excited at her knowledge of current events and the opportunity to seize an Elvis Presley celebration and use it to her advantage.
Except…um, Elvis Presley was born in January. The momentous occasion Bachmann witnessed Elvis fans marking yesterday was not the date of his birth, but rather the 34th anniversary of his death. Oops!
No word yet on if anyone ever told Michele “pray away the gay” Bachmann of her enormous gaffe, or if she even feels any sense of embarrassment from it.
Suffice it to say, somewhere, Sarah Palin is rejoicing “Thank God those stupid remarks didn’t come from me (this time)!”

Bachmann, like Palin, is an absolute embarrassment to women like Me.She possesses NOT a speck of common sense. Not a tap. To say nothing of her actual intellectual functioning level. And yet she's actually considered among the "leading" Presidential candidates of the Republican Party!?! It boggles the mind.The Europeans are holding up the likes of THIS woman on Our national political stage, and others of her extreme right-wing, know-nothing, "Conservative" ilk (Palin, Perry, et al.,) as proof positive of America's decline.And who can argue with that point of view?Not Me.
