Michele Bachmann: I Wasn't Invited To Prom

Michele Bachmann might have been a smiley cheerleader in high school, but that doesn't mean she was popular with the boys.

"I wasn't invited to my junior or senior prom. It was one of the heartbreaks of my life," she said at a book signing on Friday. "I was the ugly duckling at the ball."

Bachmann didn't have to wait long for things to turn around. While she was an undergraduate at Winona State University in Minnesota, she met Marcus Bachmann, and they married when she was 22.

Thirty-three years, five children and 23 foster children later, Marcus is still the head of the Bachmann household while Michele has spoken about the importance of a wife's submission to her husband.

Michele Bachmann - you still wouldn't be invited -

Your looks are fine it's your head that needs adjusting!
You are luck you found a partner like you -
birds a of feather flock.......

So there it is...
This whole campaign is so Michellle can have her own Stephen King's "Carie" moment.
For her followers- I recommend you skip the concession speech. If she walks out covered in pig blood, you're toast.

She didn't go to the prom because Marcus was waiting outside mama's in his white t-shirt, rolled up jeans, James Dean comb back with curly Q, "96 Tears" blasting on the radio, a couple of wine cooler and a joint the size of a Chihuahua!
And her final exhale from that joint was when God starting talking to her.

If this was 1693 she'd be tied to a stake!

Maybe they knew something about you that most people don't know. At this point, I'm convinced that this woman is gay like her husband, but for some reason, many people don't come to that conclusion when it comes to a homophobic woman. I think an anti-gay woman is also likely to have a conflict with her sexuality just like anti-gay men are.

You can never have too many children. I wonder how much quality time she spends with each one?

Michelle Bachmann isn't really unattractive.. It just that she's delusional and hasn't any business running for the presidency of the United States.

She could do far more for America if she would return home and feed those ten million kids she claims to have in her life... That would be a good thing. Leave the presidency to someone who has some knowledge of history and the founding of our country..

I like how HP used a picture of her that makes her look like she had the biggest over-bite possible.

Not half as disappointing as her honeymoon night with Marcus.

Another Zappa fan, I see.
