I presume the FAIL tag is for Bachmann? Because what CBS did is AMUSING.

I mean, seriously... why would any major network waste time asking questions to the political equivalent of the homeless guy on the street ranting about how Buddha's ghost penis is violating his ear canal and squirting crazy ideas into his head?

I'm no tv insider but that email looked to me more like they wanted to be sure they had time for others in the post-debate show.

Pathetic.

This is a woman that would be a detriment to society if she won a school board election, and somehow we're talking about this?

you can get pretty good entertainment value out of that (which is how Bachmann made it as far as she did). But, I think they've slowly realized that without a catch phrase and a better hair stylist (yes, even better than that husband of hers), Bachmann's never going to reach the level of awesomeness that a candidate like The Rent is Too Damned High Guy had, so they really don't need to ask her as many questions as they did to the truly high caliber crazies like him.

This. I read it in reference to the post debate show, that if we can get someone else, great, because having her on, she won't get many questions and it would make for a boring show, plus she is completely marginalized in the polls.

If they do one of those Youtube debates where the people get to send in the questions, EVERYONE on fark should send a question in something like this:

"Mr. Cain, in your opinion, how high is the rent?"

Cain won't do that.. he's on the 'give all your money to the Koch Brothers' side.

Wait... I'm confused.

If she received this e-mail BEFORE the debate, then why not say anything to anyone?

Fail tag is indeed for Bachmann, who doesn't even know what to do, even when the info is right in front of her.

Clearly insane. The Buddha teaches to take nothing not freely given, and that includes homeless ear sex.

Clearly, the best way for her to get back into the public and the Election Gods' good graces is to screech about how unfair the public and the Election Gods are to her. Truly, she is a genius and should not just be our next candidate, but President for Life, All Glory to Her Name...

That is really the only fair thing to do in the light of this.

Dear Michelle,

We have learned that you received an ill-gotten email sent from our staff. We understand how this, at first reading, may seem unfair to you. We would like to take this opportunity to clear the air so that you understand why we would make this decision. We were trying to help you. We did not want to go so far as to muzzle you, because then you, and more importantly the voting public, would know that we are in your corner. Please just stand there and be quiet. We realize you don't understand why it hurts your campaign every time you open your mouth, but please trust us and just stand there for an hour while smiling. Our moderators will deflect anything said by the other candidates that addresses you or would normally require a response from you, so please don't even acknowledge your competition when this happens.

Think of it as a game of "let's see who can be quiet the longest," and you really want to win. We know you love a challenge and are very competitive by nature; why else would you still be running at this point?

Best Regards,
CBS

Three Kinds of Republican Candidates

A Zen master named Gettan lived in the latter part of the Tokugawa era. He used to say: "There are three kinds of Republican Candidates: those who impart Zen to others, those who maintain the temples and shrines, and then there are the rice bags and the clothes-hangers."

If Michele wants to have more to do with the debates, she can always volunteer to clean up afterwards. Otherwise, from now on, she and the hair guy will be expected to pose quietly in their nice outfits.

CBS News: "Let's make sure the serious candidates get serious time to handle questions."
Bachmann: "I'M BEING PERSECUTED! IT'S A CONSPIRACY!"

Michele Bachmann, ladies and gentlemen. Imagine her as President. Imagine that attitude in the United Nations, or at a peace negotiation between Israel and Palestine, or during a tense discussion with Congresscritters regarding the economy.

Yeah. That's why she's at 4%. Not because The Man is keeping her down, but because she's a crazy moron with poor impulse control.

Who among the Seven Dwarves does have shot at the nomination? Cain is slowly, but surely, disintegrating. Rick Perry and Ron Paul are like the two Goober cousins from Texas (entertaining to watch ignite farts but little else). Hunts-who-man can't get any love from the GOP crowd. Santorum still is better known as frothy anal leakage. Newt just goes to these things so he can go shopping for jewelry for wifey. Bachman is the crazy cat lady from up the street. And Romney remains the voters' choice to end up in second place.

I'm pretty sure CBS did it on purpose just to make her go into another psycho-rant again and demonstrate, once again, exactly why she's unfit to be the nominee.
