It’s the anniversary of his death, Michelle. Not the same thing as his birthday.

Filed in National by on August 16, 2011

Michele Bachmann opened her event in Spartansburg, South Carolina today by wishing Elvis Presley a Happy Birthday.

The problem is, well there are multiple problems… the first is that Elvis is no longer alive, so wishing him a Happy Birthday seems to be quite unusual. Second, today is not Elvis’ birthday. Today is the anniversary of his death.

So, all in all, a good day for the Bachmann campaign.

    She is going to unhinge her jaw and swallow some poor staffer whole.

    I saw the clip and the crowd seemed genuinely bewildered. Bachmann must be getting used to crowds murmuring.

  3. MJ says:

    She should stick to deep throating corn dogs. (I’m channeling skip).

  4. puck says:

    Funny how the establishment was just gearing up to take down Bachmann. They needn’t have bothered.

    Remember how when the nation was first introduced to GWB and he kept saying these unbelievably dumb things? Now we’ve got five like that.

    MJ-I never said a word about that picture,but if I did…..

    Jason: More to the point, she’s going to have to get used to crowds who aren’t in her pocket before she even says anything. A lot of these candidates, particularly those who haven’t been in higher office, are hothouse flowers.

    Uhhh, it was the day Elvis was resurrected and brought to heaven, Duh.

    Elvis is dead?

  10. skippertee says:

    He died trying to take a dump.
    What a way to go.
    Oh Elvis, we hardly knew ye.

  11. Miscreant says:

    “Elvis is dead?”

    No. He just remarried my wife and I in Las Vegas on New Years Eve.

  12. “Deep fried foods
    made Elvis sick,
    and too many drugs
    from Doctor Nick”.

  13. skippertee says:

    He dyed his hair,
    and he died real swollen,
    with a huge,impacted colon.

  14. Rusty Dils says:

    And you guys were worried about Michelle Bachman possibly getting elected. (As I said before, not going to happen)

  15. aoine says:

    He dies of a “shit house coronary…that’s when your pata-sympathetic nervous system gets all looped…
    Love technical stuff..

  16. MJ says:

    I thought I saw a documentary years ago with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones that had evidence that Elvis was really an alien.

  17. skippertee says:

    I read a book where they said members of the Memphis Mafia were detailed to reach up and pull the turds out for the King.
    I’m NOT making this up.

  18. skippertee says:

    Sort of a group Privy Council.
    Oh the price you pay to stay near royalty.
