Bachmann To Attend Margaret Thatcher’s Funeral

Source: TPM

PEMA LEVY 12:29 PM EDT, MONDAY APRIL 15, 2013

Rep. Michele Bachmann will attend the funeral of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher Wednesday as part of a small congressional delegation, CNN reported Monday.

Bachmann invoked Thatcher during her presidential run. In an ad released on the eve of the Iowa caucuses last January, Bachmann presented herself as America's "Iron Lady" and appeared next to a portrait of Thatcher.

When she leaves, cancel her passport and forget who she is, and make sure she is stuck out in the world and has to deal with real life problems.

My fellow Minneostans and I are already eager to campaign heavily to get her out of the Washington. We are dead tired of her showmanship and terrible rhetoric and embarrassments. Mark my words, year of 2014 will be the year of reckoning for Bachmann to face the reality.

or she'll return to your state and run for Governor. Besides, in Washington she gets to entertain the entire country. We don't hold her being in Congress against the entire state of MN. I can only imagine what it would be like to live in a Congressional district that would elect her, though.

A perfect tribute to thatcher.

I don't think there is a more perfect way to tell thatcher to fuck off one more time before they bury her.

Drive a wooden stake thru their hearts, cover 'em with garlic and encase the casket in about 3 feet of cement?

Maybe she will offer some quote from the great American author Charles Dickens or run amok in a tea shop screaming "never again"!

Ya, that would make me laugh!

.....expression, about how "The British people truly loved Maggie Thatcher!" Sorry folks, but reality really doesn't penetrate the "bozone layer" surrounding Michelle Bachmann's head like a force field.

It turns out that the product of two things I couldn't care less about is something I care about. Who knew?
