Oy, what a meshuggeneh. Well, that locks up the Jewish vote.
Be careful with these Minnesotans and their funky accent, though -- for all we know, "choot-spah" is how they do it in Minnesota, even in the Yiddish ghetto (they have one, right?).
@3, if your cousin is still small enough, you should apologize profusely and then convince them that you were lying about "antique" and "boutique" too -- they're really pronounced "ANN-ti-kyew" and "BOO-ti-kyew". Then maybe you can tell 'em "hey, did you know the word 'gullible' isn't in the dictionary?"
Rolling on the floor? Oh Basil, who are you trying to kid? For one thing, you haven't vacuumed since that time your sewer backed up and you fried your Electrolux trying to use it as a wet vac. Plus, between all the empty pizza boxes and stacks of newspapers, there's not really room to do much rolling.
(believe me, since all Basil ever wears are muumuu , and they have a tendency to creep up, you really don't want to see him roll)
Bitch, I have looked up your district on a map. I have a hard time believing you don't know any Jews well enough to know how to properly say that word!
@6: "But it doesn't matter to you. As long as you can take down a strong, intelligent christian patriotic woman, all is fair game, right?"
It's always funny when Israel-firsters mispronounce Hebrew words. You're obviously not smart enough to make that connection.
Also, Palin and Bachmann make a neverending string of fuck-ups, while you're limited to the same one or two mistakes that Obama made years ago. Congratulations for having no sense of scale!
They're talking about how she says "chutzpah" because everything else wrong with her has been highlighted repeatedly. She has shown herself to be nothing but crazy and stupid since the moment she hitched a ride on Sarah Palins coattails.
@17, I dunno about her district, but I was surprised to find out that Minnesota has more Jews than Washington, even though it's a significantly smaller state. I do believe that at least half of the things wrong with our state are the fault of insufficient Jews.
As for Bachmann, I find it refreshing that she has finally said something stupid that wasn't laced with hatred. This is pretty innocuous, and hardly surprising. Does anybody else remember the class baiting people tried to engage in when we all heard how Obama pronounced "Pakistan"? 5280 is right about this: she's a real American and speaks American proudly.
@1 Fnarf, I live in Minnesota, and I'm a Jew! Minnesotans do NOT pronounce it that way. That's just crazy Bachmann-talk.
@17, Bachmanns district is not exactly a Jewish haven. Anoka is about the whitest place in the state, not counting all the reddened necks. Jewish areas are Saint Louis Park and the actual cities. Trust me, she probably knows (at most) one sad, frightened, shell-shocked Jew.
I lived in Minnesota for 7 years. I'm with Fnarf, this is how it's pronounced there. These are the same people who say things like "Oh, for funny".
Zombie-Fighter, I thought Bachmann's district was Hugo/Stillwater? I was pretty pissed when I lived there that I didn't live in her district so I could vote against her.

Where has your mirth been when Biden opens his mouth at all? The two of them are gaffe machines!
Your hypocrisy scares me sometimes.
But it doesn't matter to you. As long as you can take down a strong, intelligent christian patriotic woman, all is fair game, right?
ROTFLMAO!!!
This is what liberals do when they can't refute an argument.
and i'm not laughing at the spectre of theocratic fascism in the white house. you mistake hubris for intellect.

I'd say "death to journalists" but there are no journalists as journalism died with the advent of the 24 hour news.

Actually, I didn't laugh at Bachmann because it was more sad than funny. This person wants to be president of the United States.
Seriously, people. Please do not vote for her because you want to be amused. Think it through.
Oh, and she probably thinks as highly of the Jews as she does teh gays since THEY'RE NOT CHRISTIAN. But her handlers would never allow her to say so.
Yeah, like @21 said, A Serious Man. Bob Dylan & the Coen brothers are the most famous Minnesota Jews I can think of.
GOP, bringing you RETARDED IDIOTS IN GOVERNMENT since 1988!
