Bachmann Still on Intelligence Committee

Ok Ed, now you’re just being ridiculous. Neither Ms Lohan nor Mr Sheen have anywhere near enough seniority to get onto those committees before so many other people who have been serving in Congress for years.

Palin is there as an example of what happens when there is a lack of intelligence.

I put something into water not because it is wet but because I want to get it wet. Maybe the RINOs in congress are trying to do damage control and expose Bachmann to intelligence in hopes that she will be able utter two sentences without sounding like a complete lunatic.

Also, if I were working for one of our intelligence services I think I would be more than happy to have Michele on the committee monitoring my activities. Just sayin’.

Mike.

Only the unintentional kind, d.c.wilson.

Talk about someone lacking in qualifications…

And for some strange reason, Congress is slightly less popular than most communicable diseases.

#@10, reverendrodney:

As soon as anything vaguely ‘intelligent’ crosses her desk, she throws her hands up and walks out.

That’s not the problem, though. The problem is that, before she walks out, she screams “Muslims!!! Gays!!! Arglebargle!!” and demands time-consuming hearings on her nonsense. It’s hard to have the working Congress that we need when a member of it is constantly shouting “Boo! The sky is falling!” and thinking that is holding the sky up.

Thank you typecaster. I’m sure no one here had any idea that the word “intelligence” when used to describe the Congressional committee had a different meaning than everyday smarts. After all, it makes tons of sense that Congress would have a committee devoted to nothing more than brain power. How silly of us.

I understand that the joke stops being funny after about the four-hundredth telling. But no one is committing an actual fallacy given that everyone knows the difference between “intelligence” and “intelligence”. Still, the fact remains that while there is no Congressional committee on which Bachmann is fit to serve, her tenure on a committee dedicated to collecting analyzing vast amounts of data for the purpose of understanding what the hell is going on in the world is especially ironic. It is the one thing that she and her worldview are clearly incompatible with.

Oh, and I accept your apology for my greeps, which are very croggled, though I should have been less marfusiant and simply fortoogled the snargufant. So, no biggie.
