"Representative Michele Bachmann of Minnesota drew booming applause. . .when she pledged to confront the establishment, declaring, 'Behind this dress is a titanium spine!'"Beyond the questionable choice of preposition--aren't spines usually "under" dresses?--Rep. Bachmann's comment sheds light on one of the more confounding mysteries of President Obama's time in office, specifically, his apparent unwillingness to stand up to the more extreme elements of the Republican party. It occured to us that President Obama bears a passing resemblance to noted character actor Joe Morton:
--"Republicans Jockey as a Big Week Begins in Iowa"
Hey, we'd cast him for the Obama biopic--he even played a senator running for president in an episode of "House."
Anyway, this explains everything! Because Morton, as Dr. Miles Bennet, came to a bad end in a movie--at the hands of a killer with--wait for it--A TITANIUM SPINE!
(OK, the T1000's spine was PROBABLY made of some kind of weird titanium-esque alloy, but the point is still valid.)
Look, the point is this. We understand Obama's fear, but we NEED him to step up. Maybe Hillary can channel her inner Linda Hamilton and help him beat Bachmann. Here in California, we've had some experience with "titanium-spined" executives.
