Michele Bachmann joins the idiot brigade

Good god.  Here's another one.  Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) on carbon dioxide and global warming:

"Carbon Dioxide is Natural. It is not harmful. It is part of earth's life cycle. And yet we are being told we have to reduce this natural substance, and reduce the american standard of living, to create an arbitrary reduction in something that is a naturally occurring in the Earth."

Here's a test you can do, Ms. Bachmann, to determine how harmless carbon dioxide is:  Take a plastic bag, put it over your head, tie it tightly around your neck, and breathe deeply for, say, 10 minutes.  Let me know how that goes for you.  Oh, by the way, you're an idiot.
