Ed Schultz Slams Michele Bachmann For Asking For "Covenant To Slit Our Wrists" Against Health Reform (VIDEO)

First Posted: 10/17/09 06:12 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 03:00 PM ET

The Ed Show's eponymous host has a recurring segment on his program called "Psycho Talk," and never has that title been more appropriate than when he labeled Michele Bachmann with it for her completely bizarre comments on what is needed to defeat health care reform.

Bachmann: What we have to do today is make a covenant, to slit our wrists, be blood brothers on this thing. This will not pass. We will do whatever it takes.

Schultz's Bachmann impression audibly amused his producers.

If I make a contribution to her opponent, Tarrly Clark, for every crazy thing Bachmann says, I may very well bankrupt myself! But it would be worth it!

Clark for Congress!!

Keep waiting for her to say something intelligent, and also waiting for this brick to tell me where the Lost Dutchman mine is...
Gotta go, the brick says it's got a map.

I'd laugh but they'd still get a lot of votes. The Christian Right would vote against Jesus himself if he were a Democrat.

Michelle don't do the slitting just yet. You need to get out and have some new experiences. Have you tried the tea bagging thing your conservative friends are raving about? You might enjoy it. Live a little.

I don't usually like looking at blood, but in this case I'll make an exception.

Who is Ed Shultz? A progressive radio talk show host who has a great following on radio. He is level headed and takes the GOP to the wood shed. He is part of the reason the GOP is dead.

Hey Ed, you're a great guy, let me offer a free piece of advice:

"Never argue with a schizophrenic, people watching might not know the difference."

Well, if she wants to do that, she should!!!

I have no problem with it at all. But if her husband cared about her at all, he'd have her taken in on a "Baker Law" 72 hr hold, she sounds suicidal to me.

Does this excuse for a human being, realize that some people who
are just a little wanting in the intelligence department, (like she seems
to be) MAY VERY WELL TAKE HER AT HER WORD, and actually slit their
wrists?

I hope that Michele Bachmann is ready, and willing, to pay for any health
care provision that may occur as a direct result of her disgusting RANTS
AND RAVES!

It hurts when a liberal talk show host makes it big , doesn't it, dude & jalowe?

Oh yeah. Schultz-mania is sweeping the nation. Just like Air America.
