Michele Bachmann

By Jeff Simpson

You might say how is Michele Bachmann relevant, she is just a congresswoman from MN, who was soundly beaten when she ran for President.   Yet Bachmann is in the top 5 of money raised in all of Congress! People from all over the country are taking their hard earned dollars and deciding that Michele Bachmann represents their values better than anyone else and sending it to her. 

What a sad commentary on America.  Can't we do better than that?   Are we doomed to keep rewarding ignorance and fear based campaigns? 

Sensenbrenner Said What?!

Michele Bachmann (R-Batshit Crazy) has been spouting off her latest rant of right wing nuttery by making the accusation that the Muslim Brotherhood has "penetrated" the federal government.

At a recent townhall meeting, one of the wingnuts in Wisconsin's Fifth Congressional District asked Rep. James Sensenbrenner about supporting Bachmann's version of McCarthyism. His response is jaw-dropping:



Part of the transcription between Sensenbrenner and the wingnut, as well as the background story, can be found at Think Progress, which is also the source of the video.

I do believe this might be the first time Sensenbrenner actually made sense and took the correct stand on any issue. Which is probably why I have not seen this in any of the right wing blogs. Making sense and doing the correct thing is just an embarrassment to them.
