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.
Praise The Lord………ER, I mean, Bless her little cold heart….
1As much as I would love to see Belle Michele covered in mud, then out of office, I think it will be hard to bring her down with the what-and-when-she -knew-it scenario. I will enjoy watching her squirm, though.
I hope a strong Dem candidate in 2014 will do the trick.
2Oh, the batcrap crazy-eyed Ms. Bachmann is indeed on a slippery slope … wonder how she’ll try to slither out of all this!
3Loved this quote,”…that the people closes to her respect Bachmann the least.” And “…playing fast and loose with the truth does have consequences.” Let’s hope Crazy Cruz gets his too.
4This OCE investigation is an exact parallel to one for the FEC, and while it is clear some wrongdoing occurred, I think Bachmann will be pretty safe, because both investigations are asking what she knew, and when she knew it.
Since she generally knows NOTHING, I think she’s going to skate. They can’t even accuse her of feigning ignorance – no one is that good an actor!
As for the ethics investigation, that’s easy. They won’t find any.
5I’m keeping all my toes and fingers crossed, hoping they throw the book at this liar. That would be fitting — a Republican Congress going after a Republican Congresscritter.
6It couldn’t happen to a bigger liar.
Whoops, did I say that out loud?
Just read a column noting that Bachmann’s win in Iowa shows how out of touch the early GOP races are.
7Her opponent in 2012 got close and this time the DCCC better send him some help. Defeating Michelle at the polls would be very sweet.
8Bachman thinks laws just don’t apply to her because she has a direct pipeline to somewhere, maybe prison….
9Trust me. The House “ethics” Commitee will slap her hand & the Feds will do nothing. It will be up to the voters in her district to get rid of this sleeze.
