She is going after the religous right, who never got a chance to watch George Carlin.

I thought Bachmann was impressive last night too, although of course I disagree with her politically.

Her use of the weird phrase rang a bell with me though, so I did some digging. Turns out I'm not the only one who noticed. Google "head, not the tail" and you'll see what I'm talking about. I'm not saying it's true- I'm just reporting on the phenominon. I'm not picking on all Chrisitians either- I would be equally alarmed at any radical group threatening our democracy.

Here is an example of Palin using the phrase in a speech from June 2008, speaking in her usual semi-coherent style (my italics):


<<We Are The Head And Not The Tail
When Sarah Palin gave the keynote address at the graduation program of the Master's Commission at Wasilla Assembly of God on June 8, 2008, she stated,
"There's been so many words, Ed [Pastor Ed Kalnins], over the state of Alaska, we being the head and not the tail, and, I see things now in the works it seems like, things like, that's coming to fruition. Things are percolating! Things are coming along, and just, you know, praying for an outpouring of God's spirit here, that revival to be here in Alaska."
Anyone who has watched the full two-hour ceremony will have seen that the it ended with the graduates being presented samuri swords.>>

By the way, Motley... people who you disagree with are not necessarily morons. This isn't the Arizona immigration debate- let's keep it civil, okay?

She has a fairly well documented history of playing to the far right, Christian-crazy segment of the population.
