Your two-word summary of the "State of the Union" speech.
For one hour, the endless, chittering cacophony of sharp, mad voices was suspended.
All else is commentary.
And then came Paul Ryan's response.
Or, as it was once called, "This is John Galt Speaking".
Finally, Teagagger Hive Queen Michele Bachmann
pre-rejected a Commie "Sputnik" metaphor...
...in favor of her very own "Vanguard Moment".
Not that Bachmann's latest, spectacular display of absolutely medieval, pre-literate ignorance will matter in the slightest: among the Pig People, Rightward-facing paranoid raving idiocy is considered to be a sign of special grace.
Like a splinter of the True Cross.
Or a picture of dinosaur-riding Baby Jebus galloping into Philadelphia to help Superman and Thomas Jefferson write the Star-Spangled Banner.

She's even dumber than Sarah Palin if that's possible.
To quote an email I sent my aunt, on Bachmann:
--- She has gone so far past amusingly crazy, disturbingly crazy, and frighteningly crazy that at this point, I am honestly waiting for the day I hear her utter the phrase, "And I painted it with my own poop!". Watching her is like watching someone with senile dementia or schizophrenia who doesn't realize their situation yet. What depresses me is that her followers think that her senile aphasia is some sort of speaking in tongues, and that Jesus himself is speaking through her (about high taxes collected by the Kenyan Marxist Stalinist Socialist Muslim). It's sad, but the teabaggers will not back down from the rage-drunk, racist, paranoid crazy because that crazy has been what has defined their lives and given their lives meaning. ---
I recall reading that her descent into Teh Krazy began around the 2004 elections. Also, as I recall, her staffer turnover between the 2004 and 2008 elections accelerated to the point she had none of her old guard left. Some of her ex-staffers even said she was becoming a different person.
In a way, I feel sorry for her. I think her evil / stupid / crazy triangulation is almost pure crazy, and I think it's legitimate, medical crazy. If there wasn't such a crushing stigma against mental health issues in the US, she may actually get medicated and be a "reasonable centrist" Republican with reasonable analytical skills once again. (I don't mean a D.F.B "centrist", but a sane fiscal conservative.)

"Or a picture of dinosaur-riding Baby Jebus galloping into Philadelphia to help Superman and Thomas Jefferson write the Star-Spangled Banner." -- That, friends, is the holy grail for teapartiers. Whoever finds that picture -- and they are desperately searching for it -- will run for president. Let's tell them it's a Polaroid...
Apparently if you a loon and you have a vanguard of admirers willing to burn up the blogosphere with their praise and support, you aren't a loon afterall.
You are actually just another MSM chewtoy, but it's gotten past the "wow, look at this" phase and moved into "let's hype her because her moron minions are good for the long term corporate bottomline". No other explanation makes sense.
"Or a picture of dinosaur-riding Baby Jebus galloping into Philadelphia to help Superman and Thomas Jefferson write the Star-Spangled Banner."
That is pitch perfect poetry.
Two word summary?
Still fucked.
Did you hack the WV? =morain

Yes, indeedy. And several moldering Romans and bloodline kings were thought to be "conversing with the gods" when they had gran mal seizures. It's an historical precedent afterall.
2. A media analyst on Rachel Maddow, when asked about La Luna Bachmann's 2nd "GOP" rejoinder to State of the Union, nailed it:
"Michelle Bachman has lost contact with the mother ship."
