Badlip Reading: Michele Bachmann

“Jackpot fishy poopie pants!”

(thank you Christine!)

Bad Lip Reading - Rick Perry. Seriously dying laughing. Thanks Christine. 

Is walking out of interviews the celebrity version of planking? Because just like planking, it’s just stupid. 

I know I’m on a Bachman binge, but this photo really will be the last one, I PROMISE. Next up, I’ll be discussing how Rick Perry is into “shrimping” while getting a “hot lunch.”

Michele Bachman on “Meet the Press.” I’m , “my handlers will shoot me if I answer this question honestly, so I’m going to just keep repeating the talking points and hope all of this goes away.”

If Rick Perry is elected president I'm going to vomit
