The Craziest Woman in Congress
The forces of Evil had an enormous setback in the midterm elections last night, but the news was not so good in Minnesota. Our beloved governor, Tim Pawlenty, was reelected. The man's against roads and public transit and, you know, college. Tuition at the University of Minnesota has gone up over 50% in four years, but that's okay, because education isn't important, anyway. Also, Michelle Bachman was elected to the House of Representatives. She will, without a doubt, be the craziest person in Congress. There was a time when she wouldn't have been, but then the guy who challenged Chris Matthews to a duel retired from the Senate.
It bothered me all campaign, that the Democrats couldn't run an ad which conveyed just what a lunatic she was. I couldn't come up with an idea, either. Well, showing the footage of Bachman in a church talking about how she was "hot for Jesus" and how women should be obedient to their husbands might have helped, plus maybe quoting her explaining how God told her to run for Congress...well, that might have helped a little, but it wouldn't really have scratched the surface.
And the word is out: Despite the President's saying last week they were both doing a great job and Don Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney are there for the duration, Rumsfeld is getting shoved in front of the train. Which makes me wonder: Can Cheney be far behind? Heh. Just kidding, Cheney. Don't have me killed.
