Rep. Michele Bachmann spent most of this weekend in New Hampshire repeatedly insisting that the "shot heard round' the world" was fired in New Hampshire and not Massachusetts.

THAT mayh frenz, is the last straw!!

Normally Humble Elias would wade deep into the snarkage (indeed the temptation here is nigh overwhelming) and question the poor woman's basic intelligence.
However I truly think something even more insidious is going on...Rep Bachmann would seem to suffer from a sort of "forensic aphasia" that prevents her from saying anything positive or even factual about the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Long a target of US conservative propaganda and approbation, rightical chic doublethink prevents the Michele Bachmann's of this world from processing simple facts about Massachusetts i.e. the Minutemen were from Concord Mass not Concord NH.
In an Orwellian fashion, Rep, Bachmann is exporting today's wingnut shibboleths into the past, this is done every day on talk radio and on Fox News, but outside that echo chamber (where sensible thought is continually drowned out) it is a thought process that looks and sounds like complete babbling idiocy.
Which is where Rep Bachmann ran up on the rocks.
Otherwise there seems to be something in the water up in the Granite State this winter, almost every single GOP candidate for President has said something profoundly stupid and embarrassing in the course of the last four weeks. They get off the plane in Manchester step up to the microphones and insert their feet deftly into their mouths.
