O'Donnell: "Many of the things [Bachmann] says are truly breathtaking demonstrations of ignorance levels previously unimaginable in a member of congress or a graduate of an American elementary school."

Watch Lawrence O'Donnell attempt to explain the stupidity of Minnesota Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann, and try to account explain her pattern of ignorant statements. He looks to the people of her staff, who ought to protect her, and the voters who elected her for some kind of answer but finds none.



Despite O'Donnell's tendency to indulge a condescending tone, he is right to point a finger at the voters of Minnesota. This woman is an embarrassment to the state and her supporters confirm the most damning criticisms of democracy: that it is an organized version of mob rule and that it rewards mediocrity.
