Bachmann: Wrong Again

By Ed Brayton

I think Michele Bachmann is trying to set some sort of record for public stupidity. Her latest blatantly false claim was made, unsurprisingly, to effusive praise from Sean Hannity:

BACHMANN: Twenty-eight pages. Sean, you know the one question they don't ask? They don't ask, "are you an American citizen?" They don't ask if you're here on a visa or when it expires. We have no real idea how many illegal aliens are in our country. But wouldn't you think, here they are asking every personal question about our lives, they could at least ask if we're an American citizen? They don't bother to ask for that. That's why I think people need to read this census for themselves. If you go to my website, michelebachmann, you can read it.
