SAAAT is outraged! And comes to Andrea Tantaros’ defense.

Last edited Sun Dec 14, 2014, 11:35 PM - Edit history (1)

“The United States is awesome. We are awesome…and they released the report…to show us how we’re not awesome.” So says Andrea Tantaros and Slow Americans Are Awesome Too, couldn’t agree more.

Michele Bachmann, a board member of SAAAT, spoke on Ms. Tantaros’s behalf. “I don’t know why people are making fun of Andrea and what she said. What’s wrong with being awesome, I ask you? It’s a good word, it starts with ‘A.’ Like apple and aardvark and awesome and America! Those are all A words. What’s wrong with that?”

“I believe it‘s the connection to torture and not the word itself that is at issue, Michele,” said Anderson Cooper of CNN.

“Oh, well that’s a T word.”

“I can take it from here,” said Andrea Tantaros. “She’s right, it’s a T word! But America is an A word and it’s awesome. I don’t think my critics have a leg to stand on now.”

I loved the Lego Movie and I'm pretty sure that song is supposed to be ironic...

Then she clapped because 'condescending' is a big word.

You know those Republican elite, always showing off with their $2.00 words and congratulating themselves for it. Typical.

I said "typical!" Yeah me!

Thanks for the laugh!
