I love to use the word "cunt." It's one of the few fucking words with any goddamn shock value left.

Any death for her would be fine by me.

Or maybe just a little radioactive waste, rendering her into a deafmute. Before melting her into a pile of inorganic crud.

"Any death for her would be fine by me."

Hahah, ok Freep.

Dear Michelle Bachmann,

I implore you run for the presidency in 2012. Please.

I know you've got the all the ingredients to become a GOP front runner.

May all your sexual escapades be film-worthy,
Godot

Apparently, she shot down a lot of things that day citing lack of quorum.

This really doesn't seem all that sensational; maybe I'm missing something.

There's no way you call a quorum on a bill honoring statehood. Almost every bill that day wasn't obstructed, including the dozen that were sent on while Bachmann was there, without her objecting.

Its not sensational at all, but its also no coincidence that out of 435 members, the one with the most ties to birthers and far-right nut-jobs was there for no other reason than to object.

So I guess you could say she's an Objectivist?

That would mean she reads books, as opposed to burning them.

This is fucking retarded. Republicans have been demanding votes on basically all suspension bills (non-controversial bills that cannot be amended on the floor, but require a 2/3rds vote for passage in order to garner this legislative protection) because Democrats have used procedural methods to block Republican votes on Appropriations bills.

Bills on the suspension calendar are often debated on the House floor with very few (a dozen or less occasionally) members on the floor. After debate, many of them are agreed by a simple voice vote but either party can request a roll call vote. The general way when there are less than 25 members on the floor is to note the absence of a quorum.

Michelle Bachmann voted for the resolution when the roll call vote was held (http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2009/roll647.xml).

Additionally, the resolution was in honour of the 50th anniversary this year of Hawaii becoming a state and would have been offered regardless of who was in the White House.

Bachmann IS a loon, but this clip does not illustrate that in any degree.

In summary, fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you, you ignorant, ignorant fucks.

God, all we did was wish for her death and it's just nag nag nag.

Its not true that Republicans were calling quorum on "basically all suspension bills" as you can see from the extended CSPAN video, the bill got attention in the national media well before the vote for the reason that it specifically declares that Obama was born in Hawaii and Michelle Bachmann was asked before the vote whether she would support the bill after her statements questioning his citizenship. And its not simply that she voted for the bill, but rather that it passed unanimously, with House members knowing beforehand that a quorum was likely to be called and that any opposing votes would make them look crazy. The reason why none of the other state resolutions that term had quorum called, is the same reason Michelle Bachmann was the one to object. The focus of the bill in the media, and therefore in Washington, was on the birther issue.

Of course, being an ignorant fuck (that worked in the House and has friends there now) who is busy quadruple fucking himself, what would I know?
