This stuff is a Hoot (in more ways than one)

 Republican U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, a rising star among the right-wing booboisie, tries here to blame Franklin Roosevelt for the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, which was one of the causes of the Great Depression.
 But Bachmann botches the name of the act, calling it “Hoot-Smalley,” and ignores the fact that it was a measure authored by congressional Republicans and signed into law by a Republican president — nearly three years before Roosevelt took office.
