GOP Rep .Michele Bachmann : "He(Bush) kissed me in Minnesota, too."

[RedEarth]

As you may know, the press and the bloggers are all abuzz today about Rep. Michele Bachmann's schoolgirl-crush moment with President Bush at the State of the Union address. In an encounter with Bush at the address, Bachmann leaned in for her ceremonial kiss on the cheek — and then proceeded to passionately kiss his cheek and then kept holding on to his shoulder, with all the glee of a teenybopper! (See video below.)

But guess what: We're here to report that this is most certainly not an isolated incident, and it seems likely that Bachmann's, um, feelings have been around for quite some time. Back in August, then-Congressional candidate Bachmann posted a blog entry about a campaign event with Bush, and she seemed every bit as smitten with him then. Bachmann wrote (emphasis ours):



President Bush and I did share our custards with Governor Pawlenty, Senator Coleman and Karl Rove. Every bit of custard was gone well before we arrived at the Jundt home!

As we were driving, President Bush was constantly waving to people along the streets. I was struck by the humility he has towards his role as President of the United States. He enjoys connecting with people, even ever so briefly, and having them feel they have made contact with the President of the United States. I turned around and looked out the back window. The expressions on people's faces were priceless. They were just ecstatic when they realized The President had just waved at them.


If they were ecstatic, I can not even put into words the honor and joy I felt from having the support of The President.


The rapture!

Incidentally, Bachmann today referenced a third, shall we say, charged encounter with the President. Commenting on yesterday's embrace, Bachmann told the Minneapolis Star Tribune: "He kissed me in Minnesota, too."

3. Oh please let this be a sex scandal! I need to rub a few freepers noses in it.

4. Ah, but Michelle is a good Christian woman.

She'd never cheat on her wonderful Christian husband.

But she can sure get all hot and bothered, can't she? After all, the Chimperor is such a hunka hunka burnin' love...

:puke:

I have to say, Michelle has begun making a damn fool of herself on national teevee even sooner than I expected. Indeed, she really is the new Katherine Harris. All she needs is some implants, a riding outfit and a pet possum.

Residents of the 6th District, you have my deepest sympathies.

[wellstone dem]

15. we accept your sympathy

it's all we've got.

[HughBeaumont]

5. That's about barfworthy.

Yummers for you, dummy. Get a fucking room.

Congratulations, Michelle. You have shitty taste in dictators.

The Decider's all about da honeys, apparently.

6. Monica! You're back!

Sorry, just couldn't help it.

7. The new Kathy Harris. Is she one of "the" Bachmann's?

The department store family?

Sometimes, money can make you crazy.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Nope. I think her husband, Marcus Bachmann, grew up on a farm.

She doesn't need family money to be crazy.

[TomInTib]

10. Thanks.

Seeing as she is from Minn/StP, I was wondering.

Just naturally crazy, eh?

She will probably provide us with many moments such as this one.

Maybe we can send a crew to follow her around.

[Spazito]

9. Holy crap, Moxie and Spunk have competition!

Poor Katherine, she is soooo yesterday's fool.

[QMPMom]

11. Okay, this is evidence that the man CAN be impeached!

Illegal, immoral and unecessary WAR isn't enough, but, BY DOG, HE'S KISSING WOMEN THAT AIN'T LAURA!

IMPEACH!

[calimary]

12. Well, get out yer presidential kneepads, bay-bay!

[Crunchy Frog]

14. No wonder Condi looks so pissed off. Looks like he's got a new girlfriend.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

16. Wow. There's a look that could curdle gin.

:scared:

[eppur_se_muova]
