Rep Michelle Bachman(R): Republicans Complaining About Pelosi Are "Babies Sucking Their Thumbs"

[tannybogus]

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) threw cold water on a key rationale House Republican leaders have been employing this afternoon to explain why they couldn't deliver more GOP votes for the Wall Street bailout package.

At a Monday afternoon press conference, GOP leaders argued that Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) cost the measure a dozen Republican votes by delivering an overly partisan floor speech in support of it.

But Bachmann, speaking at a Republican Study Committee press conference, told reporters, "I want to assure you that was not the case. We are not babies who suck our thumbs. We have very principled reasons for voting no."

Bachmann was responding to comments Democratic leaders made dismissing the GOP leaders' claims. But she apparently confused the Democratic response with the initial charge by Republicans, and her comments mirrored those of the Democratic leaders.

And doooooooown the rabbit hole we go!:shrug:

1. Michelle Bachman wouldn't recognize a principle if it bit her on the ass.

She voted no for her own selfish interests.

2. Sarah Palin Syndrome?

She said what she meant instead of what she was supposed to say. And when she says what she means, we can see that she's actually an idiot. Dan Quayle must be smiling.

3. She's a bigger embarrassment than Sarah Palin

or the crazy woman from hills of North East Carolina.
