Don’t Know Much About History (but if you hum a few bars...)

Don’t Know Much About History - NYTimes.com: "Bachmann is not a zealous fact-checker, as we learned when she claimed the president’s trip to India would cost the taxpayers $200 million a day, based on an Indian newspaper report quoting an unnamed provincial official. In the real world, many founders, like Thomas Jefferson, expressed reservations about slavery but still kept hundreds of slaves, who were the basis of their personal wealth. Others, like John Adams, never owned slaves and opposed the institution but compromised on the matter of all men actually being created equal in order to bring the southern states into the union. And not a single one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence envisioned in any way, shape or form a democracy in which people of Michele Bachmann’s gender would sit in the halls of Congress." (emphasis mine)

Worth a read. Making things up? Michele's speciality. Let's watch the Minnesota Mess and the Disasta From Alaska in a race to the bottom.
