White Eyed Michele
Michele Bachmann is plenty upset about President Obama’s “amnesty.” So upset, in fact, that she called for a Tea Party rally in Washington, Dee Cee, to protest. She, of course, announced it on Fox News.
And she declared she would be leading a protest on Capitol Hill. “I’m calling on your viewers to come to DC on Wednesday, December 3, at high noon on the west steps of the Capitol,” she proclaimed. “We need to have a rally, and we need to go visit our senators and visit our congressman, because nothing frightens a congressman like the whites of his constituents’ eyes.
And you’re wondering how that turned out?
Hellfire and Happyfeet, tens of people stormed Dee Cee with their white eyes. Well, and white everything else, too.
So, maybe leaving congress wasn’t such a good idea if you’re an attention hog.
We’re gonna miss you, Michele. But not much.
Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
Michele Bachmann missed her calling in life. So would have made an excellent speed bump.
1I’m afraid I can’t miss her until she actually goes away.
2I wonder if those people ever feel “used”? Or do they even have that much sense?
3Now now, we all know that it’s really hard overcoming addictions.
4Errr…hate to tell you, Hon, but the west steps are on the west side of the building and that building in the background is what GWB would call the “liberry” of Congress.

6Or carnival barker?
Let’s see now: a sitting Congressvarmint wants everybody to show up at yell at Congressvarmints? Must have been tourists in line for the tour who populated her “rally.”
7High noon? Was she expecting a shootout complete with jingling spurs?
LynnN, in addition to “How Can I Miss You When You Won’t Go Away?”, my playlist for reacting to Bachmann would be headed by “My Give-a-Damn’s Busted.”
8Your vocabulary word for today is ‘harridan’.
Noun: a strict, bossy, or belligerent old woman.
Synonyms: shrew, termagant, virago, harpy, vixen, nag, hag, crone, dragon, ogress; fishwife, hellcat, she-devil, gorgon; martinet, tartar; informal old bag, old bat, battle-ax, witch; archaic scold.
My favorites: harpy, gorgon, and the ever-popular ogress. Oh, yeah!
9publius bolonius, why, thank you! That’s the nicest thing anyone’s said about me in ages!
You left out “bitch,” which stands for either Being In Total Control of Herself, or Boys, I’m Taking Charge Here.
10Always happy to see an ogress fall flat on her face.
11Thanks to publius bolonius.
I would be happy to sadly miss Michele if she would take Louie The Louse and a few others, including her replacement, with her.
12The Washington Post ran a photo of this rally with all the usual suspects present – Michele Bachmann and Ted Cruz and Steve King – standing behind Louis Gohmert at the lectern delivering his unique brand of wisdom. Louis was speaking in tongues again … or whatever it is that Louie does with his tongue.

Upon re-reading your comments, I have come to conclude that Michelle is like a Slinky.
“Some people are like Slinkies. They aren’t really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to my face when I push them down a flight of stairs.” – Patricia Briggs
14Broom Rider Bachmann retires from House, meanwhile Hog Castration elected to the Senate. Sorry guys, but not “seeing” peace and quiet anytime soon.
15All comments elicited chuckles from me and I simply cannot add anything to these … love them all!!
16” … tens of people stormed Dee Cee with their white eyes…”
.. and about a quarter of them look to be the news media. Dangit but I cannot figure out the media establishment’s fascination with the Tea Party. We’ve had Tea Party “rallies” here in Nashville where the news media outnumbered the participants. This has been going on for years! But when people take to the streets to protest the Iraq War or low wages, it’s *crickets.* I think the only reason they covered the Ferguson and Eric Garner protests is because as we all know, black people are scary and violent.
Honestly, the media in this country is the root of our problems.
17Whoa! I am familiar with white tailed deer. Even wall eyed pike. But whazzis white eyed Michelle? Is that white eye thing contagious? Damn! Hook that woman up with a doctor!
18Publius bolonius, I simply ADORE that wonderful list of words. Mind if I borry a few of them now and then, like when the wrong group of email folks think I’m part of ’em and I need to convince them to quit sending me emails? I could be a….
19Harridan.
Or a harpy.
Or a fishwife,
Or a gorgon,
Or a nag or a bag or a hag,
Orrrrr,
Definitely not your Great Aunt Marge.
White Eyes Michelle may not be done entertaining America yet. In today’s St. Paul, Minnesota, Pioneer Press, our dear Congresswoman Bachmann is quoted saying, “People want to know will there be a female on the Republican side, [of the presidential campaign] since I ran in 2012, people obviously wonder will I be running in 2016? There’s been no final determination made on that.”
I have a suggestion for her 2016 campaign song:
Let me entertain you . . . “
