US Not Ready For a Woman President, Says Woman Who Ran For President

Bachmann says a lot of people “aren’t ready” for a female president. “I think there was a cachet about having an African-American president because of guilt.” (Presumably she means because of slavery and the lengthy denial of civil rights to blacks.) “People don’t hold guilt for a woman,” she says, adding that while people vote for women for virtually every other office “I don’t think there is a pent-up desire” for a woman president.

Yes. Despite the fact that speculation on who will become the female President has been part of the political landscape throughout the last several decades, we don’t want it hard enough. And then, just for good measure, Bachmann said something dumb about race. If she’d have thrown in something xenophobic about muslims, something wrong about abortion, and something hateful about gay people, we’d have won Bingo!

Bless your whackadoodle Minnesota face, Michele Bachmann. Bless it.

I knew this would happen now that Bachmann’s not running for reelection this year. She can just let the crazy run free like a caged pony set loose on the plains. She can let it rear back and whinny. Fuck I hope she keeps talking. It’s like overhearing a person singing to their pet when they think no one’s around.
