Do you have a problem with Michele Bachmann serving on the House Intelligence Committee? Do you think anything could possibly go wrong? I don't know, but I think slots on the intelligence committees should be reserved for people who are serious legislators, not the political bomb-throwers. I also think it would be nice if the people on the committees, including the chairmen, knew something about the world before they were given access to our secrets and the responsibility for doing oversight. No one thinks Michele Bachmann knows anything about geography or foreign countries or really anything of relevance to our national security or foreign relations. She's also not exactly a discreet person. She's close to the last member of Congress I'd trust to keep a secret or protect a secret from inadvertent disclosure.

The fact that she is quite possibly insane in a true clinical sense is an almost superfluous complaint. Don't you think?

1. do you want the obvious?

why is someone with so little intelligence serving on that committee?

[liberal N proud]

2. Can you say oxy-moron?

Works well with military intelligence.

[lumberjack_jeff]

31. My thought exactly.

The stupidest person in congress on the intelligence committee.

[niyad]

3. I have a problem with that clueless cretin sucking at the public teat--it infuriates me that

somebody that hateful, that ignorant, is in ANY job, much less one where she is a public figure.

[atreides1]

12. Blame the voters

She wouldn't be there if it weren't for the other hateful, ignorant, clueless cretins in her district that voted for her!


It seems lately that people elect their mirror image to represent them. So, you want someone to be pissed at, direct to the voters of her district.

[Donnachaidh]

4. Ms. McCarthyism should NOT be on that committee n/t

[Major Hogwash]

5. Great article. They did it to give that nutjob some credibility. Newsflash: It Won't Work!!

They want her to bash Obama on his foreign policy, hence her appointment to this committee.
It won't work.
She's too stupid, and too much of a nutter to be effective in this committee.

It's sort of like giving Sarah Palin a rifle, and telling her to shoot a caribou in front of a tv camera.
Took her 5 shots and 4 excuses from her dad to do it!!
"Something's wrong with this rifle".
Yeah, sure, sure.

[IDemo]

6. But she does have some spying background, doesn't she?

Even if it was crouched down behind the bushes at a gay rights rally.

:rofl: :crazy: :wtf:

[Shallah Kali]

18. pic

[Angry Dragon]

7. Either she keeps her mouth shut

or she leaks some secrets and then she can be tried for treason
works for me

[bluerum]

8. Have no idea what the orange boner was thinking - or not.

My guess is that the powers that be wanted a stooge that would have absolutely no clue.

[madinmaryland]

9. Michelle Bachmann and "intelligence" in the same sentence??

:wtf:

[The Doctor.]

10. Final and Absolute Proof that the Cosmos possesses a Sense of Humor.

Much to our chagrin.

This will backfire badly, btw. She will become the diplomatic corps (and intelligence operations) greater nightmare. Wikileaks is nothing compared to what this woman will do.

Mark my words; they are putting a fool in a powerful position, and she will burn everyone. This is not much more different than giving a sadistic 8 year-old fireworks and a blow-torch.

[obxhead]

11. I see a place for a cut.

If she's qualified for anything with the word intelligence in it then it is no longer needed.

[EFerrari]

13. George Bush was president. After that, anything else is small potatoes. n/t

[neitherherenortheirs]

14. nope

Don't have a problem with it because the irony of the situation may help make things more clear to the American people.

[Canuckistanian]

27. That's what I was going to say

Bachmann on the intelligence committee might just make a few people say, "Hmm, maybe voting for these idiots wasn't the best move"

The best thing that can be done now is make sure everything is explained c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y to her and to remind her that the BEST attribute of an Intelligence Committee member is SILENCE and DISCRETION.

Who am I kidding? This will be a disaster.

[EC]

15. Sure won't be any secrets anymore...

classified - smashified...she'll blab everything she's told...


The repubs get what they deserve with this choice...they know she's a blabbermouth and some have even said so...


Wikileaks is out of business...not needed with this woman's mouth...

[madrchsod]

16. good place to hide her from the public.

[kickysnana]

17. I have a problem with her in Congress. Intellegence? Insanity. n/t.

[Cleita]

19. Yes, her on that committee because she's a loose cannon and

Darryl Issa on the oversight committee. He doesn't have the ethics to be providing oversight on others' ethics.

[pscot]

20. I for one

welcome our new imbecile overlords.

[L0oniX]

21. There once was an idiot and there was Michele Bachmann, but then I repeat myself.

[Roselma]

22. It's the stuff that nightmares are made of.

Is there any reasonable expectation that she will handle what she learns in a responsible manner? (I shouldn't have asked as we all know the answer).

[MindandSoul]

23. Not if we changes the name to "the house's dumbests committee"

[applegrove]

24. And they put Rand Paul on some committee. I think the GOP want

the leadership of the tea party to get a heavy dose of reality real quick.

[Stevenmarc]

25. I think it's great.... fill her head with all that intelligence it is bound to explode

[TheKentuckian]

26. I have a problem with the TeaPubliKlan's traitorous disregard for any effort to be responsible

in their trust and stewardship.

We are about as bad for not relentlessly seeking their obliteration and working always to repudiate their insanity.

Loyal opposition indeed.

[Hawkowl]

28. No

It goes with the whole Bush/Obama Orwellian double speak theme. It makes sense in a not making sense fashion.

[Johonny]

29. what human being what vote for someone that stupid and crazy

seriously I will never travel to her district. If I lived there I'd fear for my life everyday. I can only assume the people that vote for her are dumber and crazier than her.

[Martin Eden]

30. Seems kinda appropriate

Our country is becoming more Orwellian all the time ...


A Democratic president scolds the "professional left" and extends tax cuts for the rich ...

War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength ...

Why not Stupidity is Intelligence?

[Octafish]

32. She IS crazy.

What difference does that make, though?

[DainBramaged]

33. When she starts yapping secrets on FAUX

or reveals them to Hanninazi, we'll know what a traitor looks like.

[Motown_Johnny]

34. yes, but we can use clips of her in 2012

and the (R)s just make that stuff up anyways
