For my inagural blog I think I will touch upon something that I have read on five seperate blogs on blogspot. Rep Michelle Bachmann R-MN recently returned from a trip from Iraq and, being from Minnesota, described one of Saddam's palaces as being like the Mall of America. her exact quote was...
"It’s absolutely huge,” she said. “I turned to my colleagues and said there’s a commonality with the Mall of America, in that it’s on that proportion. There’s marble everywhere. The other thing I remarked about was there is water everywhere. He had man-made lakes all around his personal palace — one for fishing, one for boating.”
Ok, having been to the Mall of America many times I can get a feel for the magnitude of the place. Sounds like a good analogy to me.
But not so fast, according to the blogging left, Ms. Bachmann was talking about Iraq.
Thinkprogress.org's first statement about her comments is "In reality, Iraq is nothing like the Mall of America"
CapeClod posted on wonkette.com "So Bachmann says Iraq is like the Mall of America"
And our friend Blueman at buildourparty.blogspot.com listed in his things to be thankful for "We’re thankful that visiting the Mall of America isn’t really like visiting Iraq."
I suppose I can understand the vitriolic hatred of Ms. Bachmann, but please., can you not come up with some other quote that you can twist completely out of context. Weak guys, weak

Actually, I quoted Think Progress' 21 things to be thankful for post, but I get your point man!
Nobody cares about Michelle Bachmann. You can do better than that. I expect more then 1 post a week from you as well Mike.
