Ripping the crown off Sarah Palin's head and running towards the 2012 nomination as the first dumb bitch to run for President, meet Michelle Bachmann, mother of 5, surrogate mother to 23 free campaign workers:
Oops! What do the Republicans do? Do they have farms up north where they breed stupid?
She strikes
again!A sharp reader notes that Michele Bachmann's speaking cameo in Newt Gingrich's latest film about history has a misattributed quotation — mangling Lincoln and adding a twist of Kennedy when she says, "Will this latest generation, as Abraham Lincoln so famously said, will this latest generation hand that torch of liberty to the next generation?."
The reader notes:
President Lincoln did, in fact, use the phrase "lamp of liberty," in his debates with Douglas: "I leave you hoping that the lamp of liberty will burn in your bosoms until there shall no longer be a doubt that all men are created free and equal."
Even if you gift the substitution of torch for lamp, Lincoln didn't say anything about passing it from one generation to another.
That was Kennedy.
Kennedy said "that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans" in his 1961 inaugural. Bachmann also recently drew mockery for confusing Massachusetts and New Hampshire when discussing the Revolutionary War.
