Michele Bachmann: Cocktail Party Circuit Queen of the Minnesota Delegation

[Minnesota Raindog]

When Michele Bachmann admitted recently that in her more than three years in Congress, “I don’t have substantive bills that I have been able to pass,” the second-term congresswoman blamed it on her being a “fairly new freshman” in a “deep minority.”

A look at Bachmann’s social calendar, however, suggests that if she spent more time on legislating and less time on the D.C. cocktail-party circuit :beer: she might actually get something accomplished.

1. Well gee whiz...

You know she's a patriotic christian and all that. So with her being a patriotic rich woman, she really needs to keep up with the DC social scene. Who has time for actually legislating? Her and Steve King of my great state must go and the sooner the better. btw, along the lines of what you talked about in your post. Here is a website dedicated to king's stupidity. www.kingwatch.org.

2. So, you can drink cocktails with Michele for $500. I wonder

what you could do with Michele for $10,000?

Michele Must Go! That should be the rallying cry of all Minnesotans, whatever their district. My district has a lock with our rep, Betty McCollum, so I'm heading just across the road to the 6th District for this campaign. I'll be walking, knocking, and talking. Everyone with a solid winner in their district should do the same. We can kick this person out of office if we try.

3. Probably the same thing $25 and a 6-pack would have got you 20 years ago.
