Michele, My Belle
The Belles of Heaven Republican Women’s Club is sad to announce that their Belle of the Year, Michele Bachmann, may be headed to the pokey.
The Daily Beast has learned that federal investigators are now interviewing former Bachmann campaign staffers nationwide about alleged intentional campaign-finance violations. The investigators are working on behalf of the Office of Congressional Ethics, which probes reported improprieties by House members and their staffs and then can refer cases to the House Ethics Committee.
Now, part of the problem is that Ms. Michele is meaner than ten acres of snakes to her congressional and campaign staff, so when investigators come talk to them, they are far less likely to lie to protect her. And that’s very unfair because it is a Super DeLux Brand Christian woman’s duty to demean people beneath her. She has a 46% annual turnover rate of her staff, which is about average … for very mean and hateful people.
And the investigation is about, of course, money.
Former staffers tell The Daily Beast that investigators have allegedly asked about allegations of improper transfer of funds and under-the-table payments actions by Bachmann’s presidential campaign, specifically in relation to the campaign’s national political director, Guy Short, and Bachmann’s onetime Iowa campaign chairman, state Sen. Kent Sorenson. Questions directly about Bachmann, they said, have been primarily focused on what she knew about those men’s actions and when she knew it.
Good Lord, she’s morphed into Nixon.
Hey, it could be worse, she could be morphing into her husband.
Self righteous people get on my nerves, but it’s kinda worth putting up with them for the pure delight of watching them fall. It’s even more fun when they slip ‘n slide.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
