Michele Bachmann rips Obama on BP disaster, then fails to vote to clean it up

[Minnesota Raindog]

Hypocrisy reigns supreme in Michele Bachmann's world once again as she was a no-show for a Congressional vote to allow more money to be used from the Oil Spill Liability Fund. This just days after she stomped her feet and held her breath and screamed about Obama's failure to respond adequately. As always, DumpBachmann has the goods on our two-faced congresswoman:

1. Oh c'mon now. Cut her some slack. She didn't have time to vote because she

was too busy working hard to represent the people of MN. From an article in the Strib today:

“But if I was the head of BP, I would let the signal get out there -- 'We're not going to be chumps, and we're not going to be fleeced.' And they shouldn't be. They shouldn't have to be fleeced and make chumps to have to pay for perpetual unemployment and all the rest -- they've got to be legitimate claims.”

Oops...OK, so she was busy representing BP. It's easy to get those short little two-letter acronyms confused.
