Chris Matthews Describes Michele Bachmann as a "Balloon Head" and Observes That "She Just Doesn't Know Anything."

"I have said before that Michele Bachmann has zombie-like qualities. I thought that she was under hypnosis or something, but it turns out that she just doesn't know anything.
This weekend, she said that basically we did not have slavery after the days of the Founding Fathers because they were so great, they managed somehow that we didn't notice to get rid of slavery. That's an incredible statement.
The American people lost 600,000 lives in the civil war, the worst catastrophe in our history, because of slavery continuing well past the mid part of the 19th century, and this person - and you have to use the word, 'balloon-head' - said that slavery was eradicated in the days of the Founding Fathers?
People like this should not be in politics. They didn't go to first grade in history. What is this person doing on the national stage? Go back to grade school. Start around the 3rd grade, and you might be able to catch up with the class.
Anyway, she is going out tonight as the spokesperson for the Tea Parties. They must be really desperate." - Chris Matthews 1/25/2011
