It gets so tiresome being proven right all the time. When Michelle Bachmann was elected, I told friends, “She’ll say something utterly stupid in the first six months of her incumbency.” I needn’t have been so generous in my allotment of time. Bachmann, in a recent interview with a St. Cloud newspaper, revealed that she possessed knowledge of an agreement that would see Iran partition Iraq and set up some sort of terrorist mini-state in the western part of what used to be Iraq. Which doesn’t make a lot of sense, seeing as how Iran is Shi’a and western Iraq is predominantly Sunni and the two sects are in the midst of slaughtering each other’s adherents across much of Iraq.
Bachmann really should stick to her strengths–like demonizing the gay community and non-Christians–and not trouble her pretty, carefully coiffed little head with matters of foreign policy. Such wild-eyed conspiracy theorizing does not suit an alumnus of the great Oral Roberts University.
