Frankly, if Michele weren't an elected Republican congresswoman from Minnesota, which is looking more like a failed state every day with Norm Coleman's senatorial stonewalling, no one would take notice of her fanciful gibberish. But it is worrisome to me that she gets to vote along with normal people on everything that passes through the House of Representatives. I say normal because that's how some of the other crackpots in the House measure up so favorably against her verbal meltdowns.
That being the case, you may fairly ask , why all of the new attention that she has drawn these days from the gallery? Well, she is unhesitantly casting herself as a potential World War II detainee like the Japanese who were rounded up on our soil for internment. She leaps to that vacuous conclusion because of an encounter with the Census Bureau that, by law,will ask her to answer some questions for the 2010 Census. She says she will report no more than the number of people living in his home, which means she intends to break the law. "We will give the number of people in our home, and that's where we're going to draw the line," she told a flattering Glenn Beck, the tearful wannabe comedian and Limbaugh sound-alike, on his Fox show. Besides, she said, she doesn't want people from ACORN, the community organizers, knocking on her door for information. She despises ACORN.
You should also know that she has linked President Obama to swine flu, insisting that such epidemics occur only under Democratic presidents. (She tends to be forgetful. The las one was under Gerald Ford, a Republican) and once asked for an investigation of Congress to root out anti-American members. She also is satisfied that she was sent to congress by God.
Fair warning. But to repeat: she gets to vote like everybody else. .

Ok. How about a Palin-Bachmann ticket? Girlpower! With Ken Blackwell as the newly appointed Secretary of Religion Awareness, the Party will solve all its problems. That trio right there, along with the communications team of El Rushbo, Newt, and Beck says the Republican Party is really going places. Pack the shorts.
Looks good on paper. But where does that leave the the Party's dominant white males? I doubt that they can be convinced to go quietly their, eh...bedrooms.
Bachman is channeling the late Represenative Helen Chenoweth of Idaho...black helicoptors, the feds seizing your guns and forcing you to labor camps ...there will always be a market for this kind of craziness...Bachman knows her target audience very well.
The fanatical right has begun another series of "don't trust government" rants. Sounds like Bachmann should attend the Tennassee church whose pastor invites members to attend services armed, thereby bringing new meaning to "praise the Lord and pass the ammunition." Maybe Bachman's story is: Count on me, just don't count me.
You're forgetting that Bachmann," introduced the Light Bulb Freedom of Choice Act, to repeal the nationwide phase-out of conventional light bulbs. She argued that the government has no business telling consumers what kind of light bulbs they can buy".
The joke possibilities are unlimited.
What more could I expect from a person whose own dim bulb is weakly flickering?
The left is running through the forest at night, and taking the country with them.
