I am in her district and I am completely embarrassed by everything that comes out of her mouth. I wish she would go away or better yet, go represent a district in Wisconsin.

Hmmm. She is a Sarah Palin wannabe. The height of ambition. Minnesotans should be proud.

I’m from Australia, and we get news about Michele Bachmann over here. Thank God Obama’s the President of the United States, or all of your allies would be concerned-to-mortified regarding American democracy (the Bush years, by the way, were tough on us, too).

She really is a Grade-A barrell of monkeys. In my country, the expression we use is that’s she’s got “a few kangaroos loose in the top paddock”. Except with her it’s like “she’s got a mammalian plague covering every inch of arable land”. Um, one world currency? Flying imams? Armed revolution? All she needs now is the Napoleon costume…

@ Dave Porter:
I hate to ruin the flow of your narrative, but the Catholic Church has been publicly fighting against women’s rights to bodily sovreignty since way before the priest sexual abuse scandals broke. Humanae Vitae, the Papal Encyclical opposing abortion and birth control, was issued in 1968. The Church has been active in opposition to abortion in the US since it became a national issue with the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973. The issue became particularly salient in the culture wars of the 1990s. The priest child abuse scandals only became national news in around 2001. They’re actually fairly consistent. I agree though, that anyone who is focused enough on one issue to miss the fact that Michele Bachmann is certifiable, probably has a problem.

The extremely fundamentalist and Catholic voters in her district – particularly those in its northwestern half – have made the decision to hold America hostage to their one single issue of abortion. Our American Taliban
really do not care what happens to our country It is just too hard to think of more than one issue at a time.

The leaders of the fundamentalist Political Protestants never considered the issue important until they realized it could lead to political power and access to our tax dollars.

The administration of the Catholic Church did not take the issue into the public arena until they saw the faithful finally rebel against “the great unspoken” – their priests’ abuse of their children. They needed to rally the faithful over something, and abortion got them back to the emotional territory that they have been comfortably manipulating for centuries.

Keep dumbing down our schools, and watch lots of television. This is what we get.

Meanwhile, Bachmann has not held a single public meeting in her district since being elected. Not one. She does not respond to communications with her office–email, phone calls, letters. And she has done absolutely nothing for this district other than make it the laughingstock of the nation. What constituent services have been zeroed out to pay for Bachmann’s “supersized” communications staff anyway? They certainly aren’t communicating with constituents. Unless the most pressing issue in the 6th CD is a “one-world currency.”

She’ll always be a freshman. When you flunk, they hold you back for another year.

The words “honorable” and “Michele Bachmann” don’t belong together.

I must be nice to have the budget to hire extra staff for a reason that will not directly help her constituents in any way. Michelle Bachmann is interested in one thing only: herself. But I guess the people in her district don’t mind their money spent on her increasing staff and her continued embarrassing presence in front of any camera or behind any microphone. At least it isn’t being spent on welfare mothers or health care for gay partners.
