Rep. Michele Bachmann Completely Baffles John Brennan With Bizarre Questions During CIA Hearing



VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/rep-michele-bachmann-completely-baffles-john-brennan-with-bizarre-questions-during-cia-hearing/


Representatives from the CIA, including newly-installed Director John Brennan, didn’t quite know what to make of Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) this week when they sat down to answer questions from the House Intelligence Committee. Each topic she raised seemed to draw blank stares and more questions from the intelligence officials, who could not believe the congresswoman was broaching various classified subject in the open forum.

Jim Graves, the guy who ran against her last time and very nearly won, is taking her on again in 2014. I sure hope he cleans her clock. She's an embarrassment.

and likely gets all her information from talk radio featuring people who are as stupid and ignorant as she is.

She clearly has no idea of who does what in government.

When this keeps happening. He needs to man up and do the right thing and get her off this committee. He needs less orange and more backbone. This is what the TP is producing, just dumb and dumber people.

We have seen some strange and inexplicable behavior on both sides of the aisle, but it's usually unrelated to these kinds of high level hearings. Bachman was uninformed (or misinformed) on the drone strikes, and even suggested that the White House has their own armed drone capability. And the bullshit about trying to harvest classified information on Iran's reactor capabilities while on live, international television?

Minnesota should be very, very ashamed for sending that idiot to Washington DC to represent them. She is a threat to the entire country.

She very nearly lost to Jim Graves in the last election. Send him some money! Defeat Bachmann! Get that dumb, security-breaching nitwit out of Congress! http://jimgraves.com/

because she is dumb as a stump, fluff, and a nitwit, and Boehner allows her to remain on the intelligence committee. Bachmann/intelligence: There's an oxymoron.

as she exposes some kind of dirty cover-up? I would wager you that they genuinely think the stunned reaction of the intelligence directors - is proof positive that they are lying to cover for Obama.
