Michele Bachmann loves her some economic shitstorms.
Appearing on CNBC this morning, presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) was asked about this morning’s dismal jobs report and whether higher unemployment rates might help her chances of winning in 2012. “Does it strike you that as the unemployment rate goes up, your chances of winning office also go up?” host Carl Quintanilla asked. “Well, that could be. Again, I hope so,” Bachmann replied.
"I hope so," she says. She hopes that she'll benefit -- politically and financially -- from the economic chaos generated by legislation she voted for.
You know who's worse than these hackynutbags? The people who know all of this yet support them anyway.
