Does this country create dipsh*t politicians, or just attract them?
Sure to be a repeated presence on Bill Maher's weekly list of stupid campaigners, Republican Michele Bachmann today trumped her "Dumbest things I've said" list by claiming that God sent last weekend's hurricane in order to chastise the US government for over spending.
The bubbling septic tank of BS was joined by equally stinky radio host Glenn Beck who described the hurricane — which has already killed at least 25 people and caused $billions in damage — as a “blessing” because it will remind people to store more food.
As today's Yahoo News says: It’s ironic that God would use a hurricane to send a memo about cutting government spending, considering that the damage it causes is likely going to increase government spending. Meanwhile, leaders from various religions have come out against further spending cuts on services for the poor.
Here's a more likely message from God to politicians: If you're going to claim I'm speaking directly to you, at least get your stories straight!
