Michele Bachmann (R-Minn).
You may remember her for the Light Bulb Freedom of Choice act, to protect America from fluorescent lightbulbs, for telling GOP chair Michael Steele that he "be da man" or from telling Chris Matthews that the press should investigate Congress Democrats to find out which of them were anti-America, a statement too crazy for both Pat Buchanan and Sarah Palin, before going on Hannity & Colmes two weeks after Election Night and claiming that her statement live on Hardball, caught on tape, shown repeatedly both on TV and on the internet, was in fact an urban legend.
You may have heard of her claim that she is a "foreign correspondent" in Washington "reporting to you from enemy lines" or how she wanted people in Minnesota "armed and dangerous on this issue of the energy tax" because they needed to "fight back", going on to say "Thomas Jefferson told us, having a revolution every now and then is a good thing, and the people — we the people — are going to have to fight back hard if we’re not going to lose our country."
You say you want a revolution
Her latest?
The Minnesota Independant has audio, in case you don't believe your eyes.
Re-education camps for young people. I'll be the first to say that I don't always understand America, but much like Glenn Beck and getting a television show, this woman has traded a straightjacket for a seat in Congress how exactly? Is it Minnesota, is there a natural progression from Jesse Ventura to this? Someone, explain it. Please.

I believe that there is a very strong chance that we will see that young people will be put into mandatory service. And the real concerns is that there are provisions for what I would call re-education camps for young people, where young people have to go and get trained in a philosophy that the government puts forward and then they have to go to work in some of these politically correct forums.

apparently, her district has more nuts than Jimmy Carter's farm
Tam I agree but then again the average person doesn't know much about the presidential election much less their house representatives.
America has lots of bugfuck-crazy pockets.
Well, her and the lizard people.
Dang, its like I've heard this idea before. Man... what was that thing called....
Side note, I'm a little upset that Jessie Ventura has not to my knowledge ever jumped off the ropes and elbowed someone in political office.
I would say that America is lots of those, just strung out enough to not be called one.
Supposedly she's from a pretty ridiculously Gerrymandered district. One comment about it I saw that I found amusing was, "Have you seen how her district is drawn? It's almost as crazy as she is"
at least it's comedy

It's not THAT gerrymandered.
I've seen worse.
Notice districts 3 and 5, both of which are cradled in the nook south of her district between Hennepin and Woodbury.
Yeah, I guess it isn't as bad as some I've seen. Someone was saying it was pretty bad Gerrymandering by Midwest standards though.
Minneapolis and St. Paul basically get a district each. No real surprise.
good point. Still, I don't get how the 6th district is so oddly shaped. short and broad.
Between 3 and 5. No seriously, that's 3 to 5, not 3 and 5.
Oh well, that there are crazy Republicans in Congress is inevitable. That they are incredibly entertaining (by accident) is not, so we should appreciate the gifts we have been given.
Aren't conservatives supposed to (pretend to) want people to volunteer and do stuff on their own time? As in, that's usually their justification for not wanting to pay taxes for social programs (I'LL GIVE MONEY TO CHARITY JUST HOWEVER MUCH I WANT)?
Supposed to volunteer for church related things, and to me, church is another odd sort of re-education camp
That said, I actually do want them to repeal the compact fluorescent light bulb law. I hate CFLs, with a fiery passion. I fully recognize that CFLs are much better for the environment, but I'd rather they tax incandescents than ban them outright, because CFLs fuck with my migraines and my sleep issues and I hear they're horrible for SAD as well. I don't mind paying an extra dollar or two per bulb for my full-spectrum incandescents.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
They actually went through and banned them? Yeah, they really should have just plopped a big tax on incandescents, since there are reasons why you might want to use them if price or energy consumption are not an overriding concern.
There are other issues with CFLs as well. I don't feel like going into them, though.
I still think the government needs to strongly encourage movement to CFLs whenever feasible, which is most of the time.
Exactly. And this goes for both sides of the aisle, as well. See: Kucinich. Different kind of crazy, but I'd argue that the magnitude is up there. And there are plenty of others.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
You have horrible taste.

You have weird taste.
I love colorado CD-7
Gollum would stay away from Michelle Bachmann.
Democracy remedies these things in the long run, it just takes a little patience.
In the meantime, what a wonderful person to have as a prominent member of the Republican Party.
Her eyes are a window into her madness.

Michelle Bachmann, Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham.
It's like an orgy of soulless madness.
....I need a cigarette.
In fairness, there's also Palin, who had at least one pundit write an entire opinion piece about how she gave him a boner, and who can forget Katherine Harris and the twins?
