Michele Bachmann's 'high stakes' political game grows

[DearAbby]

Washington (CNN) - The thousands of restive conservative protesters milling outside the west front of the Capitol last week definitely didn't seem in the mood to listen - but there was at least one voice they wanted to hear.

The chant started from the back of the crowd, and rolled forward like a wave: "We want Michele! We want Michele!"

Michele Bachmann doesn't say she finds GOP leadership irrelevant. But with health care reform gathering momentum as the Democratic bill entered final debate in the House, she took her typical route around, not through them.

The swarms of Tea Partiers who descended on Washington on her week-old call didn't come to see John Boehner and Eric Cantor. The top Republican leaders in Congress were guests at Michele Bachmann's party.

4. Perhaps they'll both get thrown into jail

for inciting to riot. Is that too much to wish for?

5. She really really creeps me out

she reminds me of my ex Mother in law. ::brraaaah:::shivers::::

7. She and Bachmann are both disturbed individuals

More than simply a sandwich short of a picnic, these two are in need of mental health treatment.

3. BINGO!!!

6. I think there's only room for one in that battle of egos.

This could end very badly. For the GOP. :evilgrin:
