Michele Bachmann is a horrible, horrible person.

Yeah, we knew that. But here's her latest display of horribleness, in which she may have outdone herself:

In a Facebook post from Tuesday, Bachmann said: “With his Iran deal, Barack Obama is for the 300 million souls of the United States what Andreas Lubitz was for the 150 souls on the German Wings flight – a deranged pilot flying his entire nation into the rocks. After the fact, among the smoldering remains of American cities, the shocked survivors will ask, why did he do it?”

2. She is a wonder to behold, indeed.

Now that her political career is over for good, I hope we'll hear less and less of her. WCCO 830 AM does a bit with someone who sounds a lot like her. The voice is named "Not Michele Bachmann," and is a parody of the real one's vapid and mindless speech. Those little bits always end with "Because of Obamacare, we're all going to die!" spoken in Bachmann's annoying nasal whine.

6. Bachmann is a sell-out on an epic scale.

She can practically taste that Fox News or lobbying money, and despite being free of office, still doesn't dare use the brain or integrity she may once have had. She failed to establish herself as a significant power beyond her occasional sound bite. She accomplished nothing, was seen to accomplish nothing, and was no longer as young and pretty or even as charismatic as, say, a Palin by the time she reached national television. She just missed, therefore, that sweet, sweet Fox News gig.

She's this decade's Katherine Harris, and we can at least enjoy her fall into obscurity. Look for further and more over-the-top sound bites this year from her as she desperately tries to sell what's already sold and no longer marketable.

They exist and die without ever actually being human, so it doesn't really matter what they say or do. Unless that is change into a better creature, one more resembling a human and not a bitter troll pundit. We have so many troll pundits, that they could die off in droves and most people would hardly notice.
