oh boy…..

Steve Benen: Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann campaigned in Florida yesterday, attending services at a Baptist megachurch near Tampa. Afterwards, the right-wing lawmaker offered a rather unique perspective on the weekend’s weather developments:

“I don’t know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We’ve had an earthquake; we’ve had a hurricane. He said, ‘Are you going to start listening to me here?’ Listen to the American people because the American people are roaring right now. They know government is on a morbid obesity diet and we’ve got to rein in the spending.”

…. under sensible political norms, this should probably be a career-killer for a national political figure …. anyone who thinks the federal budget prompted God to send a hurricane that killed 20 Americans has issues that far exceed flakiness …. Bachmann’s reported remarks should effectively ruin her political ambitions.

“I’m in sun-and-creativity-soaked Cannes but can’t stop thinking of Kabul……”

True, they’re so similar:

PS I was in Cannes once and never have I visited a more hideous place on earth – a Disneyland for classless tosspots like the Huffy woman. Full of vacuous freaks armed with Louis Vuitton handbags and chihuahuas.

The beach was covered in dog shit – and that was the most pleasant part of the hell-hole.

Among the happier moments in my life was the moment I left Cannes. Honest.
