Seriously, this actual letter from Michelle Bachmann<\/a> (R-Land of Oz), leaves me without a proper rejoinder.<\/p>\n

I know that there should be some sort of rejoinder to this, something witty and devastating, but the stupidity, and self-centered immaturity stun me, and I’ve got a 12 year old daughter:<\/p>\n

Don’t let them Palinize me!<\/b><\/p>\n

Dear Friend:<\/p>\n

Last month, I appeared on Sean Hannity’s show on Fox News Channel. I was talking about the Democrats’ latest scheme to pick the taxpayer’s pocket to pay for a $1.5-billion slush fund for ACORN.<\/p>\n

Before getting into the meat of this terrible new anti-taxpayer proposal, Sean Hannity said that he considers me “the second most hated Republican woman,” second only to Governor Sarah Palin.<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n

With Governor Palin taking a well-deserved step out of the spotlight, it appears that I may be absorbing even more of the liberals’ scorn.<\/p>\n

And, I’d really appreciate your support so that I can defend myself against their attacks. Click here to make a donation!<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m out there every day speaking the truth about their attempts to guide this nation into socialism:<\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/b>Their government-run health care proposal that will put government bureaucrats in between you and your doctor and end up rationing care — and the most vulnerable will suffer first and most.<\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/b>Their cap-and-trade national energy tax that will drive up energy costs for every American and send our jobs overseas.<\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/b>Their spending spree that has pushed the national budget deficit over the $1 trillion mark for the first time in our history. We’re already closing in on $2 trillion and there’s no end in sight to their spending.<\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/b>Their dozens of White House czars with power over your lives and futures and absolutely no accountability to Congress or the people.<\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/b>And, speaking of unaccountable — when are they going to open up the Fed’s books to the public?<\/p>\n

\u2022 <\/b>Their political patronage to groups like ACORN — doling out billions of your tax dollars and partnering with them to collect your private information for the Census.<\/p>\n

But just as they did with Sarah Palin, the more I talk about the issues, the more they attack with below-the-belt personal hits. In fact, yesterday, a Minnesota paper gave a full column to a hit piece on one of my kids!<\/p>\n

Can you help me to defend against these attacks? Click here to make a donation! [Yeah, like I’d supply a frelling link to that nutjob]<\/p>\n

I’ll tell you the truth: Their sticks and stones will not stop me from going out and speaking the truth about their bad policies! And, your support really helps!<\/p>\n

God bless and thank you for your support.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann<\/p>\n

From the Urban Dictionary:<\/p>\n

Palinize:<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n

To smear or mock someone using falsehoods, baseless accusations or unsubstantiated character assassinations for the purpose of blocking them from achieving a goal.<\/p>\n

To exaggerate the truth or lie by omission.<\/p>\n

To attack a person for his or her conservative values by focusing an inordinate amount of attention on a single example of that person falling short (or being perceived as falling short) of the values they espouse.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to wrap my head before it f$#%ing explodes.<\/p>\n

I would note, however, that she does not give one of the more popular definitions from the Urban Dictionary<\/span>, you know, something like, Palinize<\/span>, “When someone answers a question without any form of intelligence or foresight. In an attempt to divert from giving a correct answer and in the process sounding unintelligible.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
