Michele Bachmann’s recipe for success: Christian piety and not-so-Christian opportunism
Today’s Crazy Congressional Candidate: Michele Bachmann
[A]t a public forum on the gay marriage ban, Bachmann leaves early after an incident in a bathroom at the Scandia City Hall. She files a police report claiming she was held against her will by two members of a “gay and lesbian activist group.” “I don’t think there’s a crime for us to investigate,” Sheriff Jim Frank tells the Star Tribune at the time, even though the police report suggests that Bachmann was briefly blocked from leaving the restroom. An account of the episode posted on an anti-Bachmann website reports that people outside heard her “piercing screams” of “Help!!!!” and that when she emerged “in a crouching run” she cried, “I was being held against my will!” The Washington County Sheriff’s Department investigates Bachmann’s complaint and forwards the results to the county attorney’s office. The case is dropped.
Most of y’all would probably agree that former DUMB@$$ AWARD wiener Cruella DeVille Katherine Harris is completely bat-shit crazy. If she were running for Congress in Minnesota instead of Florida, she’d be Michele Bachmann, who frankly makes Harris look almost reasonable and intellectually agile by comparison.
Though a state solidly Midwestern in attitudes and values, Minnesota has always had a decidedly leftward lean to it’s politics. Minnesota went solidly for John Kerry in 2004 and Al Gore in 2000. It also calls Hubert Humphrey, Eugene McCarthy, and Walter Mondale native sons. Every now and then, though, Minnesota produces someone so “out there” that they almost defy rational explanation. Michele Bachmann is an intolerant, judgemental, and thorougly wacked-out as any Republican politician anywhere in the country (with the possible exception of “B-1 Bob” Dornan, the former Congressman and mean-spirited ignoramus from California).
Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District is where I lived when I was in high school. My, things have changed, haven’t they??
Referring to Bachmann as “Right wing” would be grossly inadequate (How nutty is Bachman? She was caught hiding behind a bush at a gay marriage rally). This woman is so far to the right that she’s just simply fallen off the right end of the political spectrum. A magna cum laude graduate of the Fred Phelps School of Politico-Religious Philosophy, Bachmann is a living, breathing Exhibit A for why the separation of Church and State is still a VERY good idea.
Yeah, I know; it can’t be easy being one of The Chosen. If you ask Michele Bachmann, though, she’s holding up very well under the burden….
Jesus loves me
This I know
For my President tells me so….
Jeebus…Bachmann makes former DUMB@$$ AWARD wiener and Colorado Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave look like the voice of sanity and reason….
