Michelle Bachmann said she wanted to free gays and lesbians from bondage without realizing how odd it sounded. I doubt she would say anything in jest, she has no sense of humour.

She hates "big government", yet wants the government to dictate people's sex lives. She hates "welfare" yet happily sponges off farm subsidies. The Pentagon loses trillions and she says nothing about their waste, while screaming about the cost of social programs.

Words like hypocrite and idiot spring to mind.
