What if her agenda was to hold the feet of those running her future inheritance, this country, to the fire?
What 16 year old are you talking about?
Re: Are you smarter than a 10th grader?
Michelle Bachmann has but two discernible talents- she is quite adept at fundraising and she's unshakably convinced that stupidity is not an impediment to a career in politics.
That Bachmann's bullshit has been called out by a high school student (bonus point, it's a female high school student!) is cause for slight hope.
Of course, if Bachmann and the conservative right have their way, future students will not be smart enough to recognize the endlessly spouted inaccuracies.

Speaking about constitutional "experts" running for president. Looks like Bachmann has a challenger for the title.

Not only is he reading from the wrong document, the purpose of that document was to form a new government, thus is a predecessor to writing a new constitution. Even further, his quote focuses not on understanding and enforcing, but on making changes, which is contradicting himself all within a minute's timespan. His rant is a logical mess. I can see why Godfather's is king of gas station pizzerias...
I heard Herman Cain's constitution really rails against George III. At least he didn't accidentally use the Articles of Confederation, then it would have been really confusing figuring out what office he was running for.

I've a proposal for one. All I need is a car, a long enough hose, and one Michelle Bachmann.

Please Snee, you're making it look like it was a direct quote from me, and that sullies my chemistry background. So this is my public notice, too much dihydrogen monoxide can kill you!
