Minnesota’s favorite loon, Congressperson Michele Bachmann,
is facing a congressional ethics probe. The article in today's Daily Beast offers a
laundry list of accusations being leveled against Bachmann from people who
worked on her recent presidential campaign.
Shit happens when you live in an alternate universe. Confusing
right-wing propaganda and slurs with facts, the Tea Party Darling is a living legend when it
comes to jaw-dropping misstatements and hallucinatory pronouncements. If you
have heard only a fraction of the ludicrous, fact-challenged utterances from Bachmann
over the years, you know that she is a proud member of the unreality-based
world. So it should come as little surprise that she would ignore the rules and
regulations of a reality that she does not acknowledge.
One can only hope she is ultimately saved from herself and
admitted to an institution that is equipped to deal with people who are untethered from the existence in which most of us find ourselves. Congress, unfortunately, is filled with far too many enablers.
