“Last weekend my family sat down and we were watching the commercial movie “Titanic.” And as I was listening to Dr. Burgess from Texas talk about the debt and the burgeoning debt load that the United States takes, once the ice gash came in the side of the Titanic, which we all remember was called the “unsinkable Titanic,” we think of the United States. Nothing can possibly sink the United States. We will always be a superpower. But one thing that has kept us a superpower has been freedom, free market economists. We are in the process of watching the deconstruction of free market economists before our very eyes, something we have never seen. But as the ice ripped that hole in the Titanic, water started being taken on, and the engineer came out and brought the blueprint of the Titanic. Water came into the first chamber, spilled over to the second, spilled over to the third, and by the time it filled up so many chambers, it was over. It was impossible to resurrect that ship.”

Didn’t you get the memo? That bitch is half german half crazy…
is someone going to tell her it is “economy” and not “economists”…or are we all just going to sit here and smirk
Can you bump this story in a few years so we can laugh again about the stupidity some people have.

Titanic-DiCaprio-> Shia (Wall Street 2)
So i read that Shia made 500k in Transformers I and $5,000,000 for Transformers II…What do you think he makes for WS2 ?
Oh my God they killed Kenny Lewis! You bastards!

He was a bit of a rat and probably deserved it …
A good ole fashioned donkey punch is what Rep. Michele Bachmann needs…yeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhh…..
I like “The Underground Movie Titanic” better than “The Commercial Movie Titanic” Because in that one Billy Zane and Leo do it.
This is like the time Bachman compared 9/11 to The Basketball Diaries.
She just wanted to make it clear that it wasn’t the porn version “Titandick”. That’s just for her and hubby every other month.
Is that the Bachman from Bachman Turner Overdrive and “Let It Ride”, “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet”, and “Takin’ Care of Business”. Obama favs.
Kendra is pregnant!! Prejean tossed out!! What is the world coming to?
wow, this is the same stupid bitch who wanted the press to do an expose on which congressmen where “anti-america” during the election
@13
“which congressmen where”???
This why you were laid off.
You see, you just don’t have to depend on Maxine Waters to open her mouth to make a mockery out of Congress. This woman Bachmann does the same and a lot more frequently, as those who follow her know.
And deconstruction is not a verb. But she alleges that, as her love of her life (and Captain of the Titanic when it hit the iceberg) used to say — “They misunderestimate me.”
Well lets just say I wouldn’t mind being the meat in a Michelle Bachman/Katherine Harris sandwich.

@14
“This why you were laid off”???
if you are going be a bitch and correct other people’s typos make sure you use correct English yourself.
@13 @18 stop digging please.
Is the mis-spelling of Minnesota a joke I’m just to stupid to get? Usually Bess’ humor isn’t that cryptic, that tends to be E.P.’s style. Who, apparently, has been MIA recently. So we’ve got that going for us. Which is nice
@20- pretty sure that was a misspelling, as it was just corrected. and yeah, this place is so much better without painful “humor.”
Didn’t this guy sing “Takin’ Care of Business?”
China won’t let us sink. They want their money back on all those bonds they’ve purchased. They don;t want it in inflated currency either.
