Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) appeared late last week on Neil Cavuto’s show on the Fox Business Channel, to voice her objection to the political culture of economic bailouts — and to demonstrate her ability with street slang.

“Again, I hope the United States will not be the leader for government control of not only just the national institutions, but of non-financial institutions as well,” said Bachmann. “We won’t be the leader anymore in the world if we dis free-market capitalism.”

“Dis capitalism,” Cavuto responded. “I like the way you phrase that.”
