Bachmann will not seek re-election

[Michchamp]

speaking of actual scandals ("A plethora of agencies are currently looking into possible misconduct by Bachmann's 2012 presidential campaign, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Federal Election Commission, Office of Congressional Ethics and the Iowa Senate Ethics Committee.") Michelle Bachmann has announced she won't run again.

of course, she claims her timing has nothing to do with the pending investigations, or the fact that she barely won re-election last time, and these will likely torpedo her anyway.

the onion is funny, as usual. I do wonder how much she can expect to bring in, if she goes the Sarah Palin route. I believe Sarah's returns have been diminishing, and Bachmann's profile wasn't as high as hers nationally. And Sarah has pretty much already saturated the market for "Right-wing female airhead" so I don't think Bachmann will really command too much in speaking fees. low-profile Washington lobbyist might be a better option. but even there, I'm not sure how well-liked or respected she is within the Beltway.

I'm surprised left-wingers aren't lining up to hand both of them enough money to stay in the spotlight. If only they had a network so they could keep these people on 24/7...er...whoa...I just realized FOX News is probably run by left-wingers. The media really is all lefties!

I was gonna start this thread; titling it So Long Shelly; and making the OP:

The lefties sure are gonna miss you.

Although I expect you'll be keeping in touch.

She needs to start back up with the teenage foster kids and have one get pregnant, then she can have a reality show and a foster daughter on Dancing with the Stars.

That's where the real money and power are.

Crazy-eyes Bachmann may be leaving, however there has been and likely still are a virtual plethora of whackjob fundie female candidates who have and/or can/will run for state/federal office, waiting in the (right) wing who can misinterpret and rewrite US history to their liking, and make baseless and groundless accusations of certain congressmen and women who she claimed that they needed to be investigated and exposed by the MSM of allegedly being "anti-American" just as Michele had. Christine O'Donnell and Sharron Angle come to mind.

Perhaps she should consider becoming a televangelist, since her husband is a minister. Or maybe become GWB's mistress, since I remember seeing a video of the batshit crazy Michele smooching and nearly groping him, while appearing to be very reluctant to take her hand(s) off of him. It looked like she wanted to drop onto her knees and fellate Dubya right then and there in public:

At any rate, Bachmann has been one of the so-called Tea Party's darlings and she also was one of their most politically viable/visible supporters and advocates in Congress. Unless she was legally advised to avoid running for office again due to being investigated by a federal agenc(ies), or the possibility that some other politically damaging issues might soon surface, it is a little hard to believe that she would not campaign for re-election as the incumbent for any other reason(s). There were also rumors during her campaign for nomination as the GOP's POTUS candidate, that she occasionally had severely debilitating migraine headaches that would incapacitate her for days at a time, which she quickly attempted to "refudiate". I did tend to believe her, since Michele could not possibly have enough clumps of gray matter rattling around inside her cranium that could contribute or cause such severe migraine headaches...:hehe:

that video is a little creepy, but seriously, George W. wouldn't hit that.

Seriously?

I would tap that crazy bitch - nothin' wrong with piece of tail.

I just wouldn't vote for her, tell her my real name, or give her my phone number when I was done.

 

[Michchamp]

See GWB can't give her a fake name, on account of the fact that everybody knows who he is, so the frat boy in him knows better than to hit that.

that's all I'm saying.

That makes sense.

Maybe not, but like I posted upthread, he might let her wear a blue dress and then "not have sex with that woman"...ala Bill Clinton and Monica.

I have read a few threads online in the past from people who claim to have seen Bachmann up close, who posted that her head is disproportionally large compared to her relatively diminutive frame. Judging by the video, Michele certainly has an unusually wide and large mouth, bet that she could suck all of the pulp and juice out of an unpeeled orange, while just using a stainless steel straw...haha!!

 

[biggunsbob]

I am convinced that if she had her hand on the button we would all be dead...

oh what the heck, why not.....

I would tell her my favorite bird is the swallow, and see how she responds.

 

[TheVictors]

How much do you want to bet Barney Frank wouldn't take the call....?



$1,000 .....? More ....less??

She would refer yoi to barney frank

took you two whole days to come up with that typo-ridden response?

 

[tinselwolverine]

Yeah, and who the fuck is yoi?

Is that some Star Wars character? I only saw the first three of those movies...

Not to mention Bachmann is pretty anti-gay, so why would she try to help Barney Frank get a hook up?

She may be anti-gay .... but her husband sure ain't!


Heyyyyyyyyyyy-Oh!

I think she knows exactly what to do.

Not so sure. Looks like she might be readying to bite down hard with those chompers. Plus she is only working the tip, if she really knew what to do she would have the whole thing down her throat.
