Michele Bachmann Voted Top Republican Stand-Up Comic for 2014
(SNN) - Comedy Central assembled the speeches of various right-wing politicians, turned them into stand-up routines and over a million online viewers got to vote for the funniest ones. Some of her best lines (actual quotes):

They don’t like to have the truth told about them, and that’s really what it is. . . . (Again) I didn’t fear the left. I decided to take them on in the arena of ideas by attacking their false premises and their false narratives.”
On why she didn’t run for office in the last election: “It is public humiliation, public ridicule, constant criticism when you’re in public office – if you take on the left.”
