Batshit Bachmann $1M in debt

[hifiguy]

Bwahahahaha!!! I don't think Marcus is gonna be able to pray the debt away.

Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann owes more than $1 million from her unsuccessful bid to become the Republican presidential nominee.

Bachmann detailed her finances through late January in a federal campaign report filed this week. The report had been due Feb. 20.

She left the GOP race after finishing last in Iowa's leadoff caucuses. She is running for a new term in Congress.

Half of the debt is owed to a fundraising consultant and her campaign manager is also due a large chunk.

1. One million is not much ...

(can't believe I'm saying that). She'll get the money in return for legislative favors.

2. hope she put her house up as collaterall

Guess Mr. Michelle will have to falsify a few Medicare bills to get it back.
I mean, after all, it's the gummint's fault for not electing her.

6. Didn't she initially say she wouldn't seek another term? I thought I read that someplace.

7. Well, if as she said, Jesus told her to run…

8. Living beyond her means?

Hope she doesn't come crying for a government hand-out.

Oh, and where are all her rabid supporters NOW?

10. Michele and Marcus could easily earn that kind of money by becoming the spokespersons for

Oscar Meyer corndogs.

11. Chicken scratch for her...

She can sell off a few votes in the house and she's all set.

Being a corrupt asshole has it's advantages.

12. Maybe She Can Go On Jeopardy and Win the Money n/t

13. She was on the Toady Show this morning

I had to leave before her segment came on, but I was more than a little surprised that NBC had her on. Maybe she needs to raise her public profile a little to cover her debts? Nice of NBC to help a sister out.
