See If You Can Spot The Funny Part

Paul Schmelzer, writing for the Minnesoros “Independent”, barks on command:
It occurs to me that there is a rather simple pattern to [Rep. Michele] Bachmann’s belief system, ” writes Jason Linkins on Huffington Post. “…[I]f it was a rumor on the interwebs, Bachmann believes it!” Indeed, on this very page we speculated that Bachmann’s 2007 claim to know about plans to partition Iraq to “create a terrorist safe haven zone” may have come from a satirical posting online.
So because “Jason Linkins” – a person so thud-witted he uses the word “interwebs” in an apparently unironic sense – says it, and gives two examples, it must be true!
Hang in there, Paul; you might be able to get a job with Dump Bachmann at this rate.
I mean, while Schmelzer circulates the internet-spawned meme that Bachmann (and all “fundies”) be dum, he works for a “news” outlet that thinks lefty conventional wisdom (and the Colbert Report) are unimpeachable sources, with comical results.
I report. You deride.

Using the word “Interwebs” speaks volumes.
(Sorry, couldn’t resist.)

“Interweb” – Is that the stuff between his toes?

Bachmann has a huge target drawn on her. They HATE her open confession of faith in Christ. This speaks volumes to liberalism, which, when you cut a liberal open and look for the creamy nougat center, you find Charles Darwin.

I found this in a search & I know I’m very late to the game here. I watch a Canadian show called Corner Gas, & at the end of the show there is always a plug for the show’s web site. The voice over says “check us out on the interweb” on shows made before they got US distribution. Must be a Canadian thing?
