rock over London. rock on, Chicago.

Politico published a story about shrill US Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) yesterday. Bachmann is mostly known for saying outlandish shit, kissing President Bush on the cheek, and … and that’s about it; she’s only been in office since 2006. she doesn’t have any cred or creed, any real principles. she’s a conservative at the ass-end of a three decades of conservative dominance, and that means she’s into the war, off-shore drilling, the US Chamber of Commerce loves her, and she wants a ban on same-sex marriage. I haven’t looked up her record, but I’d be willing to bet that that’s what it is.
anyway, the story focuses on her apparent desire for media attention, and how this desire recently manifested into her calling for an investigation into how “pro-America or anti-America” certain members of Congress are.
she said this on a Friday-afternoon talking head show on MSNBC, which means that … oh, jesus christ, why am I going into this? who cares? this woman’s a non-factor. who gives a shit what this cartoon character thinks? she’ll probably lose re-election, go back to the Minneapolis burbs, have another dozen kids, be wealthy and despised by her neighbors.
the only reason I’m writing about this is because the article headline is “Bachmann turns to overdrive”. BTO, man! somebody at Politico has a sense of humor.
