Poor Michelle Bachmann can't seem to catch a break lately.

Less than a week after Comedy Central's Jon Stewart, of all people, poked holes in a Fox report on her November 5th tea party healthcare protest which utilized falsified footage to inflate the attendance, a Washington D.C. based watchdog is calling for a House probe of the Republican congresswoman from Minnesota.

"CREW contends that Rep. Bachmann misused her official congressional website by urging people to come to the Capitol to protest the legislation despite House rules restricting members from using their websites to engage in 'grassroots lobbying or solicit support for a Member’s position," states a press release on the website for Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. "Rep. Bachmann’s website urged people to come to the Capitol rally 'and tell their Representatives to vote no' on the health care reform bill."
