Crazy Quips by Crazy Women: Milagros 'Mitos' Magsaysay and Michele Bachmann

The similarity doesn't end with their crazy eyes. We can trace it back to their brains, and then back down to their mouths. Fingers, in the case of Mitos.


Here are two of politics' most fascinating women, thinking out loud about God sending a message through natural calamities:

Mitos Magsaysay: "Heaven must be crying… we have to undo what has been done."- her vague tweet that subtlety blamed the termination of the RH Bill debates at the lower house for the habagat that wreaked havoc in Manila and nearby provinces. She later denied it.

Michele Bachmann: I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, 'Are you going to start listening to me here?' Listen to the American people because the American people are roaring right now. They know government is on a morbid obesity diet and we've got to rein in the spending." – remarks made during a presidential campaign event in Florida that the 2011 East Coast earthquake and hurricane was a message from God.
