Sarah Palin is going to host a fundraiser for Michele Bachmann in Minnesota in April. I wonder if I can get a picture with both of them?

Aren't you afraid that the tidal stresses from the reality-distortion field would shred you if you were in close proximity to both Bachmann and Palin at the same time?
Posted by: Zeno | March 17, 2010 9:36 AM
Two female politicians who make their living out of scaring the voter and making hyperbolic statements about a parallel reality in which no one else lives? And they are going to be at the same place at the same time?
... will the universe implode?

Umlad:
Perhaps it will weep.

You should definitely try - I'm sure you could turn such a picture into a +3 Talisman against Reason.
Posted by: Phillip IV | March 17, 2010 9:49 AM
If only we could haness the power of stupid!
Posted by: Naughtius Maximus | March 17, 2010 9:58 AM
That is a sick little fantasy you have there, Ed.
Posted by: Chilidog | March 17, 2010 10:18 AM
Palin & Bachmann together in a room. If stupid had mass, there would be a black hole formed.
Posted by: MikeMa | March 17, 2010 10:41 AM
Naughtius Maximus,
they did harness the power of stupid.
It was called the Bush years.
Didn't turn out so well. :-(
Posted by: ppb | March 17, 2010 10:58 AM
That wasn't harnessed power, that was free range power. The free range power of stupid is often more dangerous than uranium. In fact, had they discovered that Hussein was rounding up folks like Sarah Palin and Bachmann, I would agree that he was trying to make a WMD. An infinity bomb powered by pure stupid.
So if they can get Liz Cheney and Orly Taitz there, will we have the Four Riders of the Stupocolypse?
Posted by: dogmeatib | March 17, 2010 11:15 AM
I think of the Bush Whitehouse as the Chernobyl of stupid.
Posted by: ppb | March 17, 2010 11:20 AM
It's a kind of homeopathy of stupid.
You dilute any actual intelligence a person has with paranoid fantasies, until not a particle of the original intelligence is still there. It becomes more powerful than any actual intelligence on Earth.

Naughtigus Maximus at 6 aasked:
I think we can- all we would need, other than the stupid, is a tread mill, a belt, a generator and a picture of a scary Marxist socialist. A little old school but I think it could work. As an added benefit, they'll finally be contributing to society in more ways than just providing fodder for Ed's blog.

Holy underwear, Batman. Wouldn't that much stupid concentrated in one spot risk the creation of a black hole of dumb that could swallow the entire solar system?
Posted by: Fifth Dentist | March 17, 2010 1:15 PM
MikeMa@8: imagine the effect if Ed could get Orly Taitz in there, too.
Mind-boggling.

According to politicalwire.com, you can get such a photo for only $10,000. What a bargain!

Shay,
dogmeatib covered it even better @10 when, in addition to Palin & Bachmann he added:
Absolutely right.
Posted by: MikeMa | March 17, 2010 3:49 PM
@17: Also, much scarier than the original Four Riders. They're much better candidates when it comes to leading the end of the world.
Posted by: axilet | March 17, 2010 9:23 PM
On the local progressive radio station here in Portland, OR, they refer to this event as Bachmann-Palin Overdrive.
If, as someone suggested above, they included the Birther Queen, would that be Bachmann-Palin-Orly-drive?
Posted by: Gerry L | March 17, 2010 10:23 PM
Hell, I hope that Palin and Bachmann spend as much time as possible together from now on.
They're incompetence squared.

like two peas in a pod, how funny!
