Michele Bachmann’s White Jacket: Top 20 Tweets

With such issues as the economy and immigration, the GOP debate on Tuesday lit up Twitter with an entirely unexpected topic: Michele Bachmann’s white jacket. Whether or not that is a topic that requires discussion or not is beyond this article, but I’m sorry to admit that I found humor in the subject. The white buttoned blazer was compared to everything from a straight jacket to an admiral, and everything in between. There were so many “Captain Crunch” and “Admiral” tweets that I just had to pick a few representative of the sentiment filling my Twitter feed.

There were hundreds of tweets about the jacket in question, but I’ve just taken 20 of my favorite. So without further adieu, here are the top 20 Tweets about Michele Bachmann’s white jacket:

Did someone tell Bachmann the #GOPdebate was a costume party? Maybe that’s the reason for the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band jacket
