Maybe that's why Bachmann keeps talking about slitting her wrists... she's depressed because her "special girl" is gone...

Here are Bachmann's 2010 challengers: a state Senator and a doctor (married to a doctor)

Just when Bachmann is hitting her stride? She'll miss the best part!

[RevBookburn]

How could she quit? Where else is she going to find this level of morbid entertainment?

[Dr Jimmy and Mr Jim]

Aide? Craaaaaaaaazy people are given aides? What a country!

[hgovernick]

She was on the "Bachmann Bandwagon" ... therefore she was really only a band aid.

[thatgirlinnewyork]

there must be a halfway house for anyone who had to toil under bachmann. don't know who should be put away first--bachmann, or the freaks who re-elected her.

[PinkoPanther]

I believe the "halfway house" you refer to is located at 133 SE C Street... There is a whole "family" of nutters living there.

[SoccerNana]

She quit because Bachmann is certified-crazy. Short of an exorcism, there is no cure.

[LemonMeringue]

I'll bet she is a real b**** to work for.

[mollymac]

Hopefully all the wingnuts move to her district and teabag outside of her house in perpetuity.

Congresswoman Bachmann, while you were out Carlsbad Caverns called. They want their bat sh#t back.

[PinkoPanther]

Too funny... I had to repost your comment on FB...

[Actionmac]

LIEberman thought the nine arrested were Bachmann's raiders... and her staff is running scared of Captain Crazy and her crazy raiders.

[sheaintsayin]

“When your captain’s crazy, it’s time to find a new ship,” the lawmaker said. This, from a republican...

It is finally sinking in that the rep from MN is going to drown on a ship of her own making...set sail!

[rillem]

When the rats have taken over the ship, it's time for the humans to jump ship. eh?

[rillem]

But, thanks to global warming, at least that ship will be able to navigate the Arctic Sea now.

Hooray!

[Actionmac]

No, she will be drowned by the repub males when they've gotten all they can get out of her. The same way they did Katherine Harris.

[BlueSkyPilot]

She did a Palin and is writing her book.

[rillem]

Sarah isn't writing a book. Lynn Vincent is writing her book.

[Actionmac]

For $4.95 you too can own a copy of that best (ghost written) seller... well best seller to GOP bulk purchase group. $4.95 and not yet released, maybe it was to poorly written for GOP groups to keep buying.

[zeezan]

Maybe she went to see the Wizard and got a brain?

[Meemers]

I am really getting tired of my comments not being posted! I have always been very respectful in my dialog and I cannot figure out why my comments are scrapped. HP is getting as bad a Michelle Malkins blog! I am really tired of wasting my time writing a comment...Only to be ignored!

[BoiseLib]

I too would like some transparency in the scrubbing rules. Please let us know what is OK and what isn't.

[whiskeytangofoxtrot451]

I don't think there is a single set of scrubbing rules. I've noticed that certain words trigger the "this comment is pending approval" message sometimes, but other times, the same word or name sails right through. I think each mod has a different set of keywords that trip up posts and some are just more likely to scrub certain messages than others.

Michelle is taking on a big responsibility. If a senior get trampled, broken leg, or have a heart attack, who is the blame? They should take her but to court, for not providing a safer environment. And she should pay for their hospital bill too, not medicare.

[KeepItMoving08]

No worries, the George Bush's GOP healthcare bill will take care of the seniors.

[whiskeytangofoxtrot451]

Not to worry. The seniors have Medicare, which of course is in no way socialism or government run.
