 Speaking in TonguesPosted on Aug 20, 2011
In an unfortunate mishmash of Spanish and Jersey Shore lingo, Michele Bachmann coined a new word while on the campaign trail: hombre-ette. Listen to her butcher a couple of languages below. If nothing else, her word-creation is a sign of the great, er, ingenuity she would bring to the White House. —BF

Well Michael Cavlan
The Democrats have their nuts also. There. Now do you feel better knowing that Bachmann has rivals for stupidity?
Does that make her even one iota smarter?
I think her immoral ideas are exceed only by her nuttiness. Wouldn’t she an Palin make a blockbuster of a pair of Republican Candidates?
They could both see Russia by looking South from Miami.

Oh THANK GOD
The Zionists and corporate toadies are only in charge of the Republicans. That would explain the amount of articles critical of the evil, evil, I mean REALLY evil Republicans.
I mean the Democrats are so noted for their strong stands against corporate power and the racist, Zionist supporters of Israel.
Dear God. I may be from Minnesota, whee this nut case of a woman comes from but you folks are pretty damned transparent.

When the plutocrats and Zionists that run the Republican Party have used her, they will cast her out like a used lemmon. The cynicism in all this is just so obvious.

Well, what is it? A diminutive femmie hombre? In my understanding of hinterland culture, an hombre is more macho than a mere man, guy or dude. So this would be a diminutive femme macho-man? Talk about gender-bending—this is gender-pretzelization!
I’ll tell you, there’s stuff going on out there that we big-city folk don’t know about. And maybe we’re better off not knowing about it.
I wonder if they have hombre-ette mud wrestling….

Is this her way of way of saying girlie-boy?

I would have said hombre-ess.
C’mon, I know we all can’t get enough of Michelle Bachmann, but surely you could find something more substantial and less charming.

I find the multiple god blessings far more abhorrent.
