Colbert Report: Michele Bachmann not blinking on the shutdown

michele bachman no Tea Party Ugly Michele Bachmann is not blinking over the government shutdown. No government is good for as long as it takes to get Jesus back to run the show.  Or is it Bill O’Reilly’s Holy Ghost who will take over? It’s all very confusing.

The GOP talking points is that the shutdown is good, it doesn’t affect anyone they know or care about, it is a small  thing that matters little.  As Fox News calls it – a Government Slimdown that goes with their ensemble of the Sequester and the coming Debt Ceiling.

This only affects what Republicans call federal bureaucRATS – which they spelled out  in their 2008 campaign ads. As Rush Limbaugh explained the Republican views on this so well, the shutdown doesn’t matter because it doesn’t affect Rush Limbaugh.  And their you pretty much have the whole Republican ideology wrapped on in one fat piggy little quip.
