• In the battle to determine who is the dumbest Republican in the history of America, Michelle Bachmann took a slight lead over Sarah Palin when she told her tea bagger crowd in New Hampshire they were the home of Plymouth Rock, and the Revolutionary War battles of Lexington and Concord.  All historical episodes took place in Massachusetts not New Hampshire.  I guess reality really does have a liberal bias.

• Not to be outdone, Palin sought advice from Fox News boss Roger Ailes as what to do after the Arizona shooting.  Ailes told her to do nothing, lie low and definitely not to give a prerecorded video of a teleprompter speech.  Palin chose not to listen.

• Realizing Palin was catching up, Bachmann hurriedly released a Facebook statement blaming her ignorance of American history on President Obama's teleprompter.  Take that liberals.

• More people turned out in Madison, WI Saturday to protest Republican efforts at busting up unions than the largest tea bagger protest of President Obama's health care reform.  Take a guess who got more media coverage, and who was portrayed as being Patriotic Americans defending their freedom and liberty???????????
