Everybody screws up. Not being able to admit it is a recipe for failure. Everybody knows someone like that at work.

If she can't recognize basic errors, how will she deal with the complicated nuances of war, the economy, terrorism, the Middle East,...? The same way Dubya did, another famous "no mistakes" politician.

She meant giraffes.

She doesn't make mistakes, those stupid things she said were deliberately stupid.

This is somehow better.

You don't make gaffes if you honestly believe the bullshiat you spew is cold hard facts.
 
2011-11-18 10:51:57 AM
I think she actually meant "giraffes".

"I haven't had a gaffe or something that I've done that has caused me to fall in the polls," Bachmann said, adding, "And when it comes to the best Republican who take on Barack Obama and not have any clunker in my record to be able to take him on, it's me."


I think she is referring to performing oral sex on the president.

"Gaffes" are when you say something the wrong way, and in your mind, you had the correct thought, but for some reason, it just came out all wrong. When you are batshiat loony and expressing the insane thoughts that are in your mind in a concise manner, those are not "gaffes."

Fair point.

Wait, wait, wait... Did somebody out there expect to hear a woman admit she was wrong?

Whoa....Meta-Gaffe FTW.

Yo dawg I hear you like gaffes
 
2011-11-18 11:37:49 AM
Really? Gee Dubya Bush never made single mistake, either.
 
2011-11-18 11:38:15 AM
Didn't she have to walk back the "vaccinations make you retarded" thing? How is that not a gaffe?

I gotta admit that's a fair point.

Waterboard her and ask her again.

what_now: How is that not a gaffe?

She doesn't really think she didn't tell the truth.

You can't commit a gaffe if you don't think you accidentally said something wrong.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled people make poor decisions and reach erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies them the metacognitive ability to recognize their mistakes. Link (new window)

Because she truely believed what she was told and repeated it.

I use the passive voice. The problem gets acknowledged, but I do take the blame.

Sarah Palin Effect. She's had too many people surrounding her and telling her how great she is all the time, she can't comprehend that others could possibly have a negative opinion of her.

Hmm. Maybe then she's convinced herself it never happened.

She's still running?

Plus she's a pathological liar, so there's that.

"Bachmann says she hasn't made any gaffes"

A bit hungover this AM and I read that as "Bachmann says she hasn't made any giraffes". I was impressed with the correctitude of her statement

Someone told me that all the gaffes associated with her campaign were actually the fault of the HPV vaccine.

Flab: what_now: Didn't she have to walk back the "vaccinations make you retarded" thing? How is that not a gaffe?

I'm guessing a more likely scenario, is that no one ever came up to after that debate and told her a vaccine made their daughter retarded. She probably read it somewhere (she's known for doing her own 'research' instead of having aides do it for her), and repeated it in anecdotal form by saying someone told her it after the debate. That lie was deliberate, and therefore not a gaffe.
 
2011-11-18 11:56:49 AM
Didnt she already admit to a gaffe though? That New Hampshire/Massachusetts mixup? And then she brought up Obama 57 states when they confronted her on it? I'm Ron Burgundy?

When I read stuff like this from candidates who are sinking in the polls but just can't admit that they can't win, it reminds me of a scene from Watership Down.

General Woundwort: Come back! Come back and fight! Dogs aren't dangerous!

I also read that as "Giraffes" & was shocked that a Great American such as Michelle Bachman would allow the Russians to win the Mini Giraffe Technology Race: Link (new window)

"Many teenagers that come in should be paying the employer because of broken dishes or whatever occurs during that period of time. But you know what? After six months, that teenager is going to be a fabulous employee and is going to go on a trajectory where he's going to be making so much money, we'll be borrowing money from him."

Link (new window)

That's not a gaffe, that's evidence of the kind of farked-up perspective that even many Republicans can't support, hence her low poll numbers.

what_now: Didn't she have to walk back the "vaccinations make you retarded" thing? How is that not a gaffe?

Because what she said was that a woman came up to her and told her that. She believes that absolutely and completely.
