Sayonara Michele!

We'll all miss this punum
Michele Bachmann is leaving office. 

If you've had as much fun as I have alternately laughing and then fuming over the stuff that has come out of this elected official's mouth, then you'll get a kick out of this blog post, succinctly written by a UHPP Board member.  Jill has a great point-- these polarizing caricatures of extreme conservatism only help us liberals when they go about the elaborate process of saying stuff.


If you give even the tiniest of damns about women's equality, reproductive rights, and oh...a silly thing called TRUTH, please check it out:
I heard the news Wednesday that you had, “after a great deal of thought and deliberation” and “not in any way related to inquiries into (your) Presidential Campaign”, decided not to seek further congressional office. Now, those who know me might describe me as sort of liberal, so they’re likely to be surprised to hear me say that I felt a little sense of loss at your news. I may not agree with a lot of the things you say, Michele (that’s putting it mildly) but, truth be told, I’m so glad you say them and I’m really going to miss you. You see, you serve an important purpose in the political ecosystem and I’ve developed a healthy appreciation for you. In fact, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you.
Thank you, Michele. I mean it. Thank you for saying things like:
“We are giving money to corrupt organizations like Planned Parenthood that are committing crimes and enabling young minor girls and covering up issues I don’t even want to talk about it because it is so disgusting.”
