Rep. Michele Bachmann is on a roll. Less than a week after suggesting a link between the swine flu outbreak and Democratic control of the U.S. government, the Minnesota Republican penetrated a heretofore unseen zone of weirdness and accused the Obama administration of premature fiscal ejaculation.

On Saturday, May 2, Bachmann delivered a rally speech in which she said the administration had engaged in an "orgy" of spending and that the government "spent its wad" too early. The previous administration, she noted, hadn't spent its wad until early August.

"During the last 100 days we have seen an orgy. It would make any local smorgasbord embarrassed," Bachmann said. She then told the crowd that April 26 was National Debt Day, which conservatives commemorate as the moment government spending outpaces revenue. As Bachmann explains, "The government spent its wad by April 26. Every dime government spends after April 26 throughout the rest of this fiscal year is borrowed money."

MB is the most entertaining person on the political stage. I check the HuffPost every day anticipating, hoping for a new article, or better, the latest video excerpt from the Backmann show. She is the Archie Bunker, no, Larry the Cable Guy, no, Crammer, no, Gracie Allen of political humor. All she needs now is a shopping cart.

Minnesota rocks. I love Michelle. She's tea-bagging entertainment. She gives me my daily bread. Amen.

Isn't that the truth , they pick-up what the democratic party rejects, and with good reason.

While I'm very grateful to them, every week it amazes me that this woman's party members in Congress allow her to keep her seat.

I think Michele gets a little to enthrolled by spending plans. Sounds like she is ready for a glass of wine and a smoke. The hits just keep on coming. Thank you YOUTUBE!

So, Michele Bachmann is an expert on orgies?

Or smorgasbords?

Well, a good smorgasbord is better than an orgy. I once had a beautiful Swedish-American girlfriend, so this makes me an expert on these things.

I won't want to imply that her foster-parenting of 24 teenage girls (in a household of three teen boys and her "protective" husband) might have something to do with that.

Oh and those 24 teenage girls were subsidized by Minnesota subsidies and Federal tax breaks.

Her biological children are home schooled, her foster children attend public school.

Well at least she doesn't use a teleprompt­er...she keeps looking down at her notes, and repeating each line three times, though.

Ms. Bachman seems to be speaking from experience when it comes to "shot wad". How many times she got it in her eye one wonders?

i live in her district, populated with hillbillies in flannel shirts. She's an embarrassment, but perfectly suited for the populace here. Ironically, they continually mock Iowans who catapulted Mr. Obama to the Presidency. Who are the real hicks Minnesota?

Bless you! I cannot imagine how rough it is having someone like Bachmann representing your district. Do let us know as soon as the run for her seat in Congress begins. I was one of those outside of MN who donated to her opponent. I'm socking away a few bucks each month to donate to the next Dem who runs against her in '10.

BTW, her talking about wads has soured me on any of that imagery -- and I'm a gay man. Now that's quite an accomplishment!
