Breaking: Michele Bachmann's pants catch on fire

As noted earlier this week, Michele Bachmann may not be a doctor, but she certainly has an advanced degree in bullshit. Here she is on the campaign trail, trying to appease her teabagger base with some personal, revisionist history:

?We change the economy by changing the tax code. How many of you love the IRS? No! It?s time to change it. I went to work in that system because the first rule of war is ?know your enemy.? So I went to the inside to learn how they work because I wanted to beat them.?

But according to the biography on her Congressional website:

Before holding elected office, Bachmann worked on hundreds of civil and criminal cases as a federal tax litigation attorney. Through her experience as a tax attorney, Bachmann came to understand firsthand the need to simplify the current tax code and reduce taxes on families and small businesses.

Oh. Well. So much for Ninja Bachmann going undercover to destroy the enemy.

It seems that you can't go a day without catching Bachmann telling another bold-faced lie ... and there's still 446 to go until the 2012 presidential election. This should be fun.
