Thank Right Wing Watch for this Looney World offering…would you like to be a fly on this wingnut wall? Watch Minnesota’s gift to the U.S. House tell Lou Dobbs about her guest lecturer…
Dobbs: You’ve got a terrific idea that you’re going to implement with the new Congress: a course on the Constitution for incoming Congressmen and women. Tell us about that.
Bachmann: We’re going to do what the NFL does and what the baseball teams do: we’re going to practice every week, if you will, our craft, which is studying and learning the Declaration, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.
Justice Scalia has graciously agreed to kick off our class. The hour before we cast our first vote in congress, we’ll meet in the Capitol, we’ll have a seminar on some segment of the Constitution, we’ll have a speaker, we’ll have questions and answers, we’ll wrap our minds around this magnificent document [and] that’ll set the tone for the week while we’re in Washington.
I think it’s great and I’m hoping all the members of Congress will partake; it’s bipartisan.

Ya right….Scalia’s and Bachmann’s version of the Constitution. How handy.
“Justice Scalia has graciously agreed to kick off our class”Then he’ll get to disqualify himself from any case involving any law that emerges from the Boner Congress.
“We’re going to do what the NFL does….”
Stand along the sideline and trip players who are running by?
Scalia. Constitutional Expert?Beyond Ironic…it’s criminal. The man who stole the election for GW Bush wants to lecture on the Constitution for a woman who would destroy it…C
BipartisanSounds like a Freudian slip to me. To Republicans, bipartisan means to do it their way.
Of course she meant non-partisan, but we know better than that.
Then again, maybe she’ll learn something.
Constitution class, that ought to be quick, I can sum it up in three words…“It’s a lie.”
“Professor Scalia, sir?”“Yes Miss Bachmann, what is it?”
“Sir, I’m sorry but my copy of ‘The Constitution For First Years’ appears to have had a few pages magically erased- I can’t find the section regarding how only white Christian men have a constitutional right to be President!”
“Thank you for pointing that out, Miss Bachmann; let me fix that with a quick flick of the wand. There, 5 points for Slytherin!
And Miss O’Donnell! for the last time stop saying “I’m not a witch”- 5 points from Hufflepuff…”
Strict constructionalismAccording to Scalia that was clearly the intent of the writers of the Constitution, so it doesn’t need to be literally spelled out to be true.
You owe me a new computerI just spewed diet coke on my laptop
Sorry…Wish I had thought to have added a snide comment from the Professor about how an upperclassman from Gryffindor, a Miss Hillary Rodham, had previously owned the volume and as such, must had been the one to erase that portion of the book!
dollars to donutswhen they open their Bachmann editions of the US Constitution this is what they’ll find inside.
Bipartisan to M.B is she get to sit on top. I hope these classes are thoroghly recorded so that Scalia’s every utterance will be scrubbed for upcoming cases where he will have to recuse his fascist posterior.
Yeah right!The hat wound never have chosen O’Donnell as a Hufflepuff!
I guess it’s inevitable,but I find myself thinking of that Three Stooges episode where they’re mistaken for college professors. ”B A Bay! B E Bee! B I Bicky-bye!…” And now for the full faith and credit clause, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.
The motto for Hufflepuff is “Diligence”And goodness knows, O’Donnell just doesn’t know when to quit. She isn’t evil, just dumb.
I would expect something like those Cobb County science book stickersAlong the lines of, “This textbook contains material on civil rights. Civil rights are a theory, not a fact, on protections and priviledges within the United States. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully and considered very critically.”

5 pointsfor TechBear!
NFL Rookie SymposiumIt’s actually a seminar where Cris Carter tells rookies not to do cocaine.
I am not making this up.
So the equivalent should be something like Denny Hastert telling them not to cover up a Congressman having sex or harassing pages.
