Klavan on the Culture: Michele Bachmann makes a gaffe!!!

**Posted by Phineas

Andrew Klavan has decided it’s too much fun not to participate in the mainstream media’s latest game: waiting for Representative Michele Bachmann to get something wrong so they can make fun of her.

Pay no attention to that chap in the background:

Speaking of gaffes from the Pouty Boy…

Thanks himself while reading the wrong line on the teleprompter
Fumbles through a teleprompter miscue at the National Academy of Sciences

Confuses the Constitution for the DoI in his own SOTU speech (the supposed Constitutional scholar)
Cites the Constitution as having been written “twenty centuries” ago
In his own words, he’s apparently able to see dead people in the audience (sounds like Dem vote counting)
His great uncle wasn’t at Auschwitz as stated by Obama, he was at Buchenwald
Claimed his parents met because of the 1965 Selma march when they actually married in 1961
Credits a proverb imprinted on Oval Office rug to MLK. Its origin is from 19th century abolitionist Theodore Parker

“Let me be absolutely clear…Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s”
“Not having been there and not seeing all the facts…the Cambridge police acted stupidly.”

Relates that he presented the Medal of Honor personally to Afghanistan war hero Jared Monti – KIA 6-21-06

I don’t think Michelle or Sarah have much to worry about. Gaffester In Chief has left them behind, not that the culture and agenda of the LSM would care to illuminate though.

My favorite gaffe of all time is when Joe Biden was practicing his Tele-evangelist act when he asked a man in a wheel chair to stand up!! – Lorica

Great list, Sefton. ^:)^

I’d add only a couple more:

Claims that West Virginia is closer to Arkansas than Illinois is.

Claims that George Bush’s response to 9/11 helped Hugo Chavez get elected – in 1998.

As for his great uncle liberating Auschwitz – well, that was done by the Red Army, so maybe his relative really was there. :d

GWR:

I didn’t know the Red Army had a Kenyan brigade.

I do appreciate this, guys. It will fit in very nicely in my book.

The LSM would probably pay more attention to Duh-1’s idiocies but they’re too busy having continual climaxes over his brilliance.

“I’ve been in 57 states…I think one left to go.”

This is my personal favorite gaffe. I mean, Obama was born and lived in Hawaii for a while. You’d think somewhere along the line he would’ve learned that Hawaii was the 50th and last state to be admitted into the union.

Terry,

Numbers aren’t his strong suit, like the ones Sefton cited above (10000 dead instead of 12, and it’s still 2008). And when he claimed Obamacare would cut insurance premiums by 3000%.

Oooh…there’s another one to add to the list. :d

#1 – That’s a gd good list!

@Paul: OK, so what’s your point?

The point of these lists is to show the LSM, socialist media that their pouty god-in-waiting makes gaffes that neither Sarah nor Michelle Bachman would make, that not only is he prone to human error but indeed has a great stake in it. That not only is he not the brightest bulb in the pack, he is in reality just an affirmative-action president who has no business running what has been the greatest nation on earth.

If he wasn’t in charge they would be a lot funnier. As it is, it’s almost enough to make one cry.

Sorry PAUL, No-one in office (with a teleprompter) should make that many.
I still don’t believe he is American,I still believe he is Indonesian,I have been there,it’s close to home,and there are a lot of African Muslims there.
I do believe his mother is American, and his father did what most African fathers do……left. 62% of Afro Americans leave their kids and mother.

It is not my nature but I just stole Seftons List. Great, now that I am a crook people will start calling me a progressive. Just as well, every time I fall in love
Ann C–Laura I– Michelle M — Sarah P–Michele B and of course our own Sista T— the sub human cretins begin picking picking picking. They are like termites in a DC home, they take everything but the nails.

George, you’re lucky you don’t have Democrap termites. They’d take the nails, too, because “that’s only fair.”
