At a briefing for conservative bloggers at the Heritage Foundation today, Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-Minn.) dismissed MSNBC as a network neither she nor “most of the American people” paid attention to. [...]Oh Michele? Keith's not exactly shivering in his boots over you, either. But here's the thing: He's a lot smarter, and has the actual, you know, facts on his side. Be afraid.
“I’m certainly not going to fear the likes of Keith Olbermann.”
Oh, it hurts. The crazy hurts! But I... I just. Can't. Stop. Reading.
Here's some more. Put on your helmets, you'll need protection. Incoming!
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) called for a "strong investigation" into a variety of nonprofits in the wake of political corruption allegations at ACORN.
Never mind BushCo and all that torture. That investigation would be wrong. This one would be swell. Moving on...
Bachmann, who has been an outspoken critic of ACORN, said that a broader investigation of other nonprofit organizations is needed because they could be using federal funds to influence the outcome of elections, like ACORN did.
"We need a strong investigation into nonprofits," she said in a conference call with conservative bloggers hosted by the Heritage Foundation. "No political party should be funded through a quote 'nonprofit.' "
"Without [government] money they would not be in existence," she added.
Neither would Blackw-- er, Xe. Or any of these. As with most things that pop out of Michele's empty little noggin, this, too, will backfire.
While you're at it, please read Jason Leopold's very thorough piece on the ACORN witch hunt here.
Bachmann also accused ACORN of wrongly playing a role in the close Minnesota Senate race. After several recounts, Al Franken (D-Minn.) prevailed over incumbent Norm Coleman (R).
I bet Obama's overwhelming victory was all due to ACORN's super duper double secret plan, too. What a loser.
She called ACORN a "cold storage unit for campaign people to elect Democrats."
Yes, yes. That's it! She is so damned astute, how does she do it? We Dems throw all of our best and brightest into a big fridge and thaw them out just in time to commit fraud. Brilliant! No wonder we win so many elections!
Oh. Wait. Never mind.
She said there should be "six or eight" investigations into ACORN conducted by the Justice Department, IRS and appropriate congressional committees.
Aren't the Rushpublics the ones who say Obama and Congress are too overwhelmed, into multi-tasking overdrive? Wouldn't another 6 or 8 investigations be kinda sorta compounding the alleged problem? No? My bad.
"If this was a Republican organization, they would be dead right now," she said. "There would be scalps of Republican congressmen hung out to dry."
Only old, white ones.
Okay, ew. Nauseating mental image.
Bachmann also called on the president to publicly distance himself on ACORN.Only after Bachmann publicly distances herself from us, permanently. Deal? Deal.
