I'd Still Fuck Her

Back in April your handsome blogger wrote HERE:

One interesting thing about the internet is analfisting.com how it might affect an election purely on how easy it is to access and catalog what a politician has said or done on a daily basis. For centuries, people mostly had a kind of vague notion of what a Congressman said at any time; even up until ten years ago if somebody said something asinine it MIGHT make it to the bottom of page 34 of the WSJ. So congressmen would get voted in over and over to a large degree by people thinking "well, I've heard of him, he's already there, good enough for me." But today, all you need to do is be able to read and stare at a computer screen to get a daily account of what everybody's saying and thinking.

Obviously, I'm think of someone like Michelle Bachmann. I won't be able to get through typing this post without news popping up online of her saying something completely retarded. Are Minnesotans come election time gonna decide you know what, this is embarrassing, she's a fucking idiot we hafta get somebody else? Or is it gonna be like the days of when nobody would even hear what she's blathering and vote via the ol' "fuck it, who cares" policy? If a complete buffoon is an idiot in a forest, does anybody know it? Hmm.

Over at the Daily Beast HERE, some chick I've probably banged is wondering if Bachmann might get re-elected BECAUSE she's batshit. The before:

Even in 2008, Clark points out, most people in the district voted against Bachmann—but 10 percent of them went for a third-party candidate. (Bachmann won 46 percent, while 44 percent went for Tinklenberg.) Meanwhile, Clark adds, the district has the highest foreclosure rate in the state, something she says Bachmann has done nothing to ameliorate—the congresswoman has voted against every major foreclosure-relief bill and called struggling homeowners “irresponsible.”

and the after:

“Her biggest accomplishments are really about creating controversy and generating talk-show ratings,” Clark says.

But such accomplishments can’t be dismissed. As Ornstein notes, most House members would die to get on television as often as Bachmann does. “There was a time when somebody who said outrageous things, especially if you’re one of 435 members of the House, was not going to get on television,” he says. “Simply putting that person on would affect the reputation of the show or network. Now it doesn’t matter. They’re angling to have embarrassing things said. She is in some ways in an enviable position.”

Bachmann may even be eyeing a more enviable position.

I was wondering if Bachmann might end up losing her Congressional seat because of the access people now have of her idiocy. Michelle Goldberg thinks she might win because of the access people now have to her idiocy. I have a feeling she's right (doesn't that make me even MORE sexy to you bitches??!?!?) But the fact that these two thoughts can co-exist is pretty fascinating.
