Bachmann: If elected will close US Embassy in Iran

[jsteele]

Of course, there hasn't been a US embassy in Iran since 1980.

Phew. My first thought was "do we have an embassy in Iran?"

Thanks Jeff. I thought it was a joke when I saw the title but the reality is even funnier, and I needed a good laugh just now.

When she speaks in front of a black audience, does she promise to abolish slavery?

She promised to make me Ambassador to Rhodesia.

She could open it and then close it. Maybe on the same day? That would make a statement.

To be fair, Iran isn't her top priority. The Soviet Union is a far more serious threat.

this is a very funny thread. Thanks for starting my day off with a laugh!

Don't worry, there is no chance she will be elected President. I have a greater chance of being elected. Jeff has a greater chance of being elected.

As long as she does it in person. I imagine she'd want to do a walk through to make sure none of the lefty state department employees have stolen anything from the building.

Given her poll numbers and the fact that this adds only marginally to her inaccuracy count, I'd say that keeping herself in the news is worth letting us laugh at her. In fact, that turns it into another chance to complain about media bias.

She's crazy and ignorant, but not stupid.

What about that promise she made to block large scale dumping of sofas, loveseats, etc. from the Ottoman Empire?

She's also going to push Americans to vacation in the US instead of spending $$$ to get their hopes dashed on the Yucky Tan Peninsula.
