Michelle BatShitCrazy Bachmann calls for Speaker Peloisi's impeachment


Bachmann Rips Media for Not Covering Deem and Pass; Suggests Pelosi Impeachment Warranted

The latest maneuvering by congressional Democrats to make their brand of health care reform a reality has a lot of Washington, D.C. insiders scratching their heads and unable to forecast what is around the bend when it comes to this legislation.

But have the media completely dropped the ball and that is allowing those in power to circumvent constitutional process? According to Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., they have. She had some harsh words for the fourth estate on conservative talker Sean Hannity's March 16 radio show. (h/t Kevin Eder)

"Well yeah and the other thing is treason media," Bachmann said. "Where is the mainstream media in all of this not telling this story? This is a compelling story - that the Speaker of the House would even consider having us pass a bill that no one votes on?"

According to Bachmann, this is such an egregious maneuver by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, to force through health care reform using the Slaughter Rule, as known as deem and pass, that it warrants her impeachment from the post.

"That should laugh her out of the House and there should be people that are calling for impeachment off of something like this," Bachmann continued. "That's how bad this is. I mean, trust me - Dennis Hastert could have never gotten away with this. President Bush never could have gotten away with it."

3. How embarrassing to Minnesota
Every time I hear something this crazy woman says I can't believe there were people that voted for her. Did Minnesota get their water spiked?

17. Damn it ...I keep telling you she is from the only really really
republican district in Minnesota...Minneapolis and Hinkypinky county. They have a preacher who is so damn crooked he bought about a zillion dollars worth of goodies for his mega church, boats, spas, houses, jets, clothes etc and then rented them to himself for about a dollar...so he supported her, gave her money, went into his mega TV church pulpit and urged the dumb ass so called c(with a little c)hristians to vote for her. And he wasn't audited by the IRS altho there were a lot of people who turned him in.

How can anybody compete with that kind of crookedness. She is a ding bat. She preaches Christian values while all the time wanting to deny the poor and needy any type of services. Someone should cover her in the crap she spews. And I tell you even some people from Minneapolis are fed up with this sensation publicity hound. All she wants is the spotlight. She has two challengers and the preacher has been warned to cool it or they will really start a law suit to take away his tax free status and start auditing the church. So I don't think he is going to be as much help as he was.

18. She does NOT represent Minneapolis
Edited on Wed Mar-17-10 04:51 PM by rbixby
Keith Ellison represents Minneapolis in Congress. Michele's district is mostly northern suburbs and the conservative catholic section of central Minnesota. Please don't confuse hard left leaning Minneapolis with the hard right leaning northern suburbs. That woman is an embarrassment and I don't want anyone to mistake her for representing Minneapolis OR St Paul.

Just take a look and see. Her district doesn't even touch Hennepin County.

5. The Pubs Love her Nonsense
Just don't tell them the TRUTH that both Newt and Hastert used Deem and Pass over 100 times.

But Pubs have never let facts get in the way of their lunatic rants.

7. how many signing statements did the Decider issue?
And when has anyone ever been "laughed out of the House?"

I have a feeling Michelle may be the first to be so. She's completely left orbit.

8. Isn't there some kind of provision in the rules somewhere that states
that public representatives should be relieved of their duties if they certifiably batshit crazy? Isn't there something like being unable to discharge her duties for being physically or mentally incapacited? If there isn't, there should be. I think Michelle Bachmann qualifies if there is such a provision.

14. No one's voting on the bill?
Then what difference does it make if Kucinich changed his vote? Or if any particular congress critter announces how he or she plans to vote? I think Michele Bachmann thinks we're as stupid as she is.
