Close Encounter of the Very, Very Stupid Kind

At least said black hole would pull the fire off of my head …

Oh my God. We’re doomed; the black hole of stoopid that will surely result of this meeting between the two stupidest people in American politics will suck every last iota of intelligence from the planet, and perhaps even the whole galaxy.

U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann is bringing out the big gun from Alaska to help her re-election effort.

Bachmann announced Thursday that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin will host a fundraiser for her campaign April 7.

The event will be held at the Hilton Hotel in Minneapolis. There will be a private reception and photo opportunity at 4:30 p.m., a general reception at 5 p.m. and dinner at 6 p.m. It's not known how much tickets cost.

A photo op with the Daft Bimbo and the Prom Queen of Wingnuttia High^[1]? Despite Ed Brayton’s apparent enthusiasm, I think I’d rather suckle on a leaky battery with fishhooks stuck in my eyes.
