The Woman Is Crazy

Michele Bachmann has officially lost her mind on Sean Hannity's radio show.
"At this point the American people - it's like Thomas Jefferson said, a revolution every now and then is a good thing. We are at the point, Sean, of revolution. And by that, what I mean, an orderly revolution -- where the people of this country wake up get up and make a decision that this is not going to happen on their watch. It won't be our children and grandchildren that are in debt. It is we who are in debt, we who will be bankrupting this country, inside of ten years, if we don't get a grip. And we can't let the Democrats achieve their ends any longer."
It gets worse from there.

She is certifiably insane.

[UPDATE] And now she's gone on from Hannity the Manatee's show to...you got it...THE DOOM BUNKER.
Michele Bachmann was recently on Glenn Beck’s radio show, so that two of the right-wing’s most prominent nutters could talk, inaccurately, about currency issues:

BACHMANN: Let me tell you, there’s something that’s happening this week in Congress that could be the eventual unravelling for our freedom, and it’s this. I had asked the Treasury Secretary and Ben Bernanke, the Federal Reserve Chair, if they would categorically denounce–

BECK: I know.

BACHMANN: –taking the United States off of the dollar and putting us on an international global currency. Because as you know, Russia, China, Brazil, India, South Africa, many national have lined up now and called for an international currency, a One World currency. And they want to get off the dollar as the reserve currency.

BECK: Most people don’t understand what that means.

Here, for once, Beck is on the money.
As Iggy puts it, "Keep in mind that these aren’t just two weirdos hiding out in a cabin somewhere. Beck has a show on a major cable news network and Bachmann has a seat in congress." And yet we're talking about a member on Congress that is so far out of line and off her rocker it's breathtaking. Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul are totally out there as far as Congressmen go but they make an awful lot of sense every once in a while, and they are both very intelligent people. Bachmann on the other hand is a complete nutjob who seems to be incapable of learning anything.

The worst part of all this is that there really is a danger should China or the EU or the UN ever really get serious about dumping the US dollar as world reserve currency, which is a completely different problem than the lunacy Bachmann is spouting.

Bonus verbatim Bachmann:
Well, Glenn, I have experienced that throughout my political career being labeled a kook.
Well damn, I wonder why that is?
