Michele Bachmann is Retiring, Leaving a Texan as Craziest in Congress

-snip-

Is it Rep. Louie Gohmert? He recently accused the Attorney General of siding with the Boston Bombers, claimed "radical Islamists" were posing as Hispanics and crossing the border, and said the Aurora shooting was a result of "ongoing attacks on Judeo-Christian beliefs." Gohmert regularly goes on television and sounds about as aggressively ignorant as the worst stereotype of a Texan.

Or is it Rep. Steve Stockman? He recently brought up arming embryos with guns, said the Violence Against Women Act is bad because it is "helping the liberals," and compared the president to Saddam Hussein.

It could certainly be Sen. Ted Cruz. "Crazy Ted Cruz" has made McCarthy-ite accusations against Chuck Hagel, promoted paranoid fantasies about our government shutting down golf courses and building "hobbit homes," and spread deliberate Medicaid distortions. He is also at Michele Bachmann-levels of lying to the American people. Cruz also plays the role of Bachmann in the Senate, spewing nonsense and ideologically trying to derail any semblance of progress in America.

No matter who you think is the craziest, one thing is sure: Texans will have to endure routine embarrassment and misrepresentation in Congress for years to come. But if we organize, we can force these schmucks into early retirement just like Bachmann. There is light beyond this fog of craziness

1. as far as I understood this morning, she isn't retiring NOW. she simply announced that she will

not run for re-election. So we still have nearly two years to put up with her.

2. Correct. But she is still considered to be 'retiring'

Closer to 1 1/2 years now

3. Too bad about them all being from Texas, Tx.. :(

Personally, I'm a little less concerned about our country's future now that Bachmann will be out of Congress. But that doesn't mean there aren't seriously problematic crazies left there - and guess what? All the candidates to replace Bachmann as the craziest person in Congress are from Texas.

But, as Ben Sherman wrote.. "But if we organize, we can force these schmucks into early retirement just like Bachmann. There is light beyond this fog of craziness."

Good Luck Texas

4. id like to say a simple prayer as a person living in texas

dear god
please make texas blue as soon as possible
amen

[Cha]

5. As someone who

doesn't pray.. I concur! Texas Blue!

[Thinkingabout]

6. As a Texan who is not proud of Cruz, Cronyn or Culberson, I must endure. Tom Delay has set Texas up

to have Republicans elected as much as possible. I am hoping this state does not have to continue with the dreadful red much longer, we need relief. Maybe the Michelle Bachmann virus continue to attack other GOP Congressional members.

7. Cruz seems to be the most ambitious of the three; he likes to be out front & center

with the crazy talk.

8. Steve King's gonna have to pump out super-crazy if he can even hope of competing with all of them.

All aboard the Crazy Cruz Ship!

9. Crazy Cruzy gets my vote

10. In a close race, I'd vote for Gohmert

11. Rep. Marsha Blackburn seems to want that title pretty bad!

12. maybe she has time now to show the world the 'family dairy farm' thats never been seen.

The farm they collect 'gov. money' for or is it state tax credits?

13. A couple weeks ago, Gohmert said a woman should be forced to carry an anencephalic fetus to term.

I guess for him, it's personal - his own mother gave birth to a brainless baby...

14. Gohmert and Stockman are crazier than Bachmann now

This theory that Bachmann has to go home to allow a new squirrel turd to float to the top of the punchbowl is wrong. Marsha Blackburn, Gohmert and Stockman are all crazier than Bachmann.
