Come and bid Michele Bachman farewell: She's not running for re-election next year

[cali]

Tea Party favorite Michele Bachmann, who last year ran for the Republican presidential nomination, announced on Wednesday that she will stand down from her seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

In a video posted on her website and on YouTube, the stressed that her decision to stand down from her Minnesota seat was not due to any concern she would be defeated at the next election in 2014 or the inquiries into activities of her former presidential campaign staff.

And she said she would continue to fight for the policies she believes in and that her future was “limitless and my passion for America will remain.”

“There is no future option or opportunity … that I wouldn’t be giving serious consideration if it can help save and protect our great nation,” she said.

I'm sure this has nothing to do with ongoing ethics inquiries.

Bye bye, batshit crazy lady.

Well, we know she has choots-pa...

13. Oy vey iz mir

I...I think my ear is bleeding.

[life long demo]

5. Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day

I turned the TV on and the first thing I heard was that she was not going to run for re-election. One of my biggest concerns about this idiot was that she was on the intelligence committee. Dumb!

[Champion Jack]

6. How could she do this? Think of the poor comedians!

[pinboy3niner]

9. Leno, Letterman, Ferguson and the Jimmys will need a strong support system now

I can't bear to think about what they must be going through.

[lpbk2713]

7. She's alreadry reached her primary goal in life ...

After attaining Miss Corn Dog Queen nothing else mattered any more.

[cali]

15. Aaarggh. My eyes. That pic clearly violates DU's community standards

[Half-Century Man]

18. Quick get this image to a doctor's office

to use in case of a viagra overdose.
"If you've had an erection lasting four or more hours, look at this" EEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooooooopppp

To counteract that counter agent would require a viagra the size of Cap't Jack Sparrow's hat.

[Ghost in the Machine]

8. Minnesota is going to have an epidemic of starving squirrels after she leaves. She was nuts enough

to keep the squirrel population well fed. How will those poor critters survive now???

10. Awesome! Bye-bye, Crazy-Eyes! n/t

[Canuckistanian]

11. She wants to spend more time with her lawyer's family

[trusty elf]

12. Oh, no!

[Half-Century Man]

20. Hummm

Looks like at the next TEA party rally I run into, I'll spend less time wishing for a paintball gun and more time reading, photographing, and posting.
The best argument against the tea party is members of the tea party.

[VWolf]

14. Awwww, kinda sad really.

Guess this is my last chance to re-post this:

Jackpot fishy poopy pants!!!

[BrainDrain]

16. Not to put too fine a point on it, but.....

That loony-toon should never have been elected in the first place. She is a national cringe-inducing embarrassment.

Having said that...

Michele...PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, DO LET THE DOOR HIT YOU IN THE ASS ON THE WAY OUT!


buh-bye.

[MarianJack]

17. She has a bright future...

...speaking at any of the many daily teabaggr rallies! Yuck!

PEACE!

[Brickbat]

19. Mama gets a what-what!

[6000eliot]

21. What will Marcus be dressing her for NOW?

[BeyondGeography]

22. She runs away scared at the end

Scared of the law and scared of losing.

Bye.

[Roland99]

23. Nothing to do with the FBI joining the investigation

nope...not at all!

[ananda]

24. Goombye, little crow with the big stoopid caw.

..

[sheshe2]

25. K&R! nt

[Buzz Clik]

26. Meh. What idiot with Minnesota stick us with next?

[The Wizard]

27. As a prominent face and voice of the Republican Party

Michele helps Democrats, much like the goofball Louie Gohmert. Republicans on the lunatic fringe present an image that's strange, to say the least, to normal Americans.
We're normal, they're not.

[Dustlawyer]

28. Pardon the French, but good riddance to that crazy, lying, Bitch! Sorry, my apologies to

Bitches everywhere!

[cali]

29. As a woman, I take no offense whatsofuckingever

she is a crazy lying bitch.

[Dustlawyer]

40. I never use the term lightly, I love women! Thanks for understanding! It is just unbelievable

that in this day of mass media her constituents can hear the obviously outlandish, crazy, stupid things she says and still vote for her! I feel bad for all of those poor foster kids she "raised!"

[Doctor_J]

30. Her supporters are not happy

[JustAnotherGen]

34. snorty laugh

[HughBeaumont]

31. No doubt good news, but . . .

. . . there's always the danger of her gerrymandered and heavily pro-life district throwing up someone else just as bad.

Oral Roberts gave this woman a Juris Doctor. Based on her factually (and often sanity)-challenged statements, I think they need to be investigated.

[wandy]

32. In remembering Michele Bachmann Look past the crazy..............

Yes it's easy for us to believe that the term 'Bat Shit Crazy' was invented for Michele Bachmann. She was more than that, so very much more than that......

Look past the first two minutes of typical Bachmann babble. Pay close attention to the last minute where she desperately try's to Newspeak her way around her consistent championship of the people she actually represents.

I just hope that next job doesn't allow her to do more disservice to the American people.

[NCTraveler]

33. Fleecing teabaggers for money will be very good for her once she is out of congress.

She will make tons off of them.

[Doctor_J]

37. Oh, yeah. TONS of money. And her rhetoric to this point will be nothing compared to what

she'll come up with now. She's a six-fingered Sarah Palin.

[JimDandy]

35. Heard this on NPR

early this morning. Good riddance.

[grantcart]

36. See if good people get together and work together . . .

miracles do happen.

Not exactly the miracle you were thinking of, eh Michelle?

[tavalon]

38. I don't think she'll be finishing her term

unless one can do that from a jail cell. Can they?

[hfojvt]

39. a rose for Michelle, because you never can tell
