Yeah......uh huh......sure...
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) recently announced her opposition to the federal Transportation Security Administration's full-body scanners due to worries that "naked pictures" of herself could somehow end up on the internet for the world to see after being screened.
According to MinnPost, Bachamann told patrons at an Iowa coffee shop that she planned on opting out of such security procedures in order to avoid the possibility that such exposing images could end up online.
This is another in a list of looney talk from the wild eyed Minnesotan. This writer was under the impression that the scan was like an xray thus would not produce a "picture" of a person sans clothing.
Gee, shouldn't she be more worried about a lesbian TSA agent groping her and getting some jollies from the experience?
ReplyDeleteI think she's mostly worried that she might like it, 98507.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my Bachmann favs..
ReplyDeleteAnd, on a less-substantive note, she flubbed her hometown history when declaring "John Wayne was from Waterloo, Iowa," and "that's the kind of spirit that I have, too," in running for president.
The actor was born nearly 150 miles away. It was the serial killer John Wayne Gacy Jr. who lived, for a time, in Waterloo.
