Comic Making Fun of Michele Bachmann

I know that making fun of the utterly ridiculous things that come out of the mouths of Tea Partiers is somewhere between art form and cliché.  The fact that this is particularly true of the group’s female members is especially dismaying.

And yet, as was recently pointed out in the case of Christine O’Donnell crying “sexism” over being called to the carpet for saying … well, completely stupid things, they keep doing it.
