It’s unlikely that the American media will produce the “penetrating exposé” into whether members of Congress are “pro-America or anti-America” that Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) called for Friday, but there has been at least one consequence she may not have expected: Her congressional opponent, Democrat El Tinklenberg, has been showered with cash from all parts of the country — America, that is — as apparently insulted Americans respond to Bachmann’s request.
“I can absolutely confirm that we have had in the last 24 hours donations from hundreds and hundreds of people from all over the country,” said Tinklenberg campaign manager Anna Richey. “It’s coming in so fast I can’t get a hold on it and can’t give a precise number.

A little bit of that was mine!
I love it when the nutbars self-destruct. And Tweety just let her hang herself. Beautiful. Hey, by the way did you see the 100,000 in St. Louis for Obama today? Jaw dropping photo over at Huffpo. Could Grandpa McGrumpy even hope to draw anything like that?
Bachmann opened a big can of worms…
I don’t recall reading that Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) had been in trouble with her seat despite the fact that she is, perhaps, one of the best examples of right wing nutjobbery in the United States Congress. She obviously evidenced this……
