The Telegraph listed the 100 most influential U.S. conservatives and liberals to commemorate the one year anniversary of President Obama's presidency.
Guess which “fool for Christ” ranked 80th? Hint:
But hey now,
80 is a nice round number. So unlike that stiff, vertical Number
1. Pfft. Last is the new first.
No it isn't. I was just being kind.
That won't last.
According to the Telegraph: A poor man’s Sarah Palin, the Representative from Minnesota shot from obscurity to notoriety just before the 2008 election when she said on cable television that Barack Obama and his wife Michelle were “anti-American” and challenged the media to investigate members of Congress to find out whether they were in favour or against their country. “Most Americans are wild about America and they are very concerned to have a president who doesn't share those values," she argued.
That triggered a wave of cash to fund her opponent the following month but she survived and became a conservative star in the process. A Right-wing crowd pleaser, she has declared herself a “fool for Christ”, is a global warming sceptic and recently said that she wanted Minnesotans "armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax because we need to fight back". Senior party officials view her as a loose cannon.
"Poor man's Sarah Palin" indeed. That's some moniker. Bachmann can see lunacy from her Tea Party. Also.
For the record, the Telegraph says Bachmann's counterpart on the liberal side at No. 80 is Bo Obama, the Portugese water dog...
You be da 80th!
