And poor Michele Bachmann....she's just catching it from all sides. lol

On The Lighter Side...

General election issues abound for Representative Bachmann.

If you haven't checked out Whoopie Goldberg's rant on The View yesterday, please do. Bachmann seems to have lost the soccer mom demographic with her signing of the The Family Leader pledge, which among other heinous declarations implied African Americans enjoyed a better family life under slavery.

It's funny, but damn, Goldberg is pissed—really pissed—about the ignorant slavery component of the Leader's pledge. And righteously so. She says:

"Dammit, I am sick of this crap! Could you people get your act together? You don't know anything about how slaves raised their kids or why people were together, just don't add stuff like that if you don't know what you're talking about! Number two: white people, black people, asian people, some of us are single parents, some of us turned out ok with single parents and you know what? Stop pointing the finger at single parents! I'm sick of people who don't know what the Hell they're talking about going off! I'm sick of it!"

Pretty thunderous applause.

It's bad when even resident Fox Head Elizabeth Hasselbeck has abandoned you and declared your Presidential chances gone. "It may put the nail in the coffin for any sort of chance for Bachmann..."

The ridicule factor is very high for the Bachmanns. Gawker compiled this rundown of people wondering if in Bachmann, we're seeing another Ted Haggart, George Rekers or Larry Craig dynamic playing out. Doth the lady protest too much? Some of the high-profile people whose gaydar "Mr. Michele" has pinged on:

Cher, who used her Twitter the other day to riff on Bachmann (as the gay news website Towleroad noticed).

Pundit Andrew Sullivan, who called Bachmann a "ssuper-sserial hunter of gays" and then compared him to Waiting for Guffman character Corky St. Clair.

The Daily Show co-creator and satirist Lizz Winstead, who tweeted that Bachmann is "the white Al Reynolds."

James Urbaniak of The Venture Brothers, who Tumbled: "It's pretty much a given that the most vociferously homophobic men are usually repressing something. But, oh Mary, Michele Bachmann's husband Marcus takes the ever-loving cake. He's a cure-the-gay therapist out of a John Waters movie. I haven't seen flames this high since the last California wildfire..."



Kids in the Hall comic and television actor Dave Foley, who asked via Twitter: "How can Michele Bachman be opposed to gay marriage when she is married to gay man." Foley made a few other tweets about Bachmann, using "#MarcusBachmanIsSoGay"; the hashtag got a bit of traction.

Keith Olbermann referred to Bachmann as a "bizarre-sounding man who's calling gays 'barbarians'" and wonders how you can "hide" him without putting him in some sort of closet.

You can also now follow the parody account @DrMarcusBachman on Twitter. Select tweets:

Sorry I was gone a while, I was burning some old albums all week, the heartbreak. @cher

Like the movie The Undefeated, I'll bring the spirit of John Wayne's co-star, Rock Hudson.

I wish the left would stop calling the tea party, tea baggers. It is not accurate, belive me, i've checked.

Looks like the gays really ARE a threat to traditional marriage, at least, specifically the Bachmann's. The popular gay dating site GAYDAR has offered Marcus Bachmann (NSFW) a free lifetime membership offering him the chance to conduct all the unfettered research into homosexuality any good Christian "scientist" could ever dream of:
