Birth. Death... What's the Difference?

Why even mention Elvis Presley if you don't know what the fuck you're talking about?

The congresswoman from Minnesota played the Elvis tune "Promised Land" at a local restaurant and told the crowd of 300 that she wanted to say happy birthday to the king of rock 'n' roll.

"Before we get started, let's all say happy birthday to Elvis Presley today!" Bachmann said.

But Aug. 16 is the anniversary of Elvis' death, in 1977, and someone in the crowd shouted back, "He died today!"[...]

Bachmann corrected herself later as she spoke with reporters, noting the date marked Presley's passing, not his birth. He was born on January 8, 1935.

"As far as we're concerned, he's still alive in our hearts," Bachmann said.


I love her correction. Fake beyond fake. Bachmann is a cheaper knock-off of an already counterfeit product. She is the Kelvin Kling to the Calvin Clone.
