Bachmann raises eyebrows with long hold on president
We warned you, she's Kat Harris crazy...

http://www.startribune.com/587/story/957164.html


As Bush made his way through the crowd of lawmakers after his State of the Union speech, he signed autographs, including two for Bachmann, a Minnesota Republican. But after the president turned to greet someone else, Bachmann put her hand on his shoulder and held it there.

The hold lasted as Bush shook hands and chatted with other lawmakers on the other side of the aisle, his back to Bachmann. It remained there even as Bush turned back around to kiss a lawmaker next to Bachmann. Finally, the president leaned into Bachmann for a kiss.

All told, Bachmann had Bush in her grasp for nearly 30 seconds.

15. Garrison Kiellor makes up for any embarrassments you may have.
I live in PA and DE, and I'm amazed at the caliber of folks in Minnesota. It's a great state.

9. Juxtapose
those with the pictures of Monica close to Bill Clinton during similar appearances. Fair to assume now from bitter experience?

17. SO.... Honestly, what is it about this administration that makes their own go crazy?
There's so much corruption, so much sexual scandal, so much weird behavior by female congresspeople... is it the koolaid?

23. It Appears She IS The Night Stalker
Does she have her tongue far enough in Bush's mouth? Jaysus what a freak. Remember she hid in the shrubbery to spy on gay people!

27. She wanted to be healed.
Wasn't there a woman in the bible that tried touching the robe Jesus was wearing in order to be healed?

Clearly she was waiting for her bad case of <insert whatever you like> to be cleared up.

Bush is messianic, don't ya know?

28. Well, with Sen. Harris now out of the public eye
we did have a comic relief gap.

And it appears Rep. Bachmann will help to fill that gap.

If she just would start applying makeup with a spatula, we will have a 1:1 replacement.
