Bachmann 'on her way to a full and quick recovery' after being hospitalized

[Swede]

The illness kept her from making a trip Saturday morning to Missouri, where she is backing Blunt, a U.S. House member running in the GOP primary for the U.S. Senate. Bachmann did address Blunt's volunteers in St. Louis via Skype.

Blunt faces Tea Party-backed state senator Chuck Purgason, who also has garnered the support of Tea Party icon "Joe the Plumber."

Bachmann's decision to back Blunt has angered some Tea Party groups in Missouri. The controversy prompted some Missouri Democrats to speculate that Bachmann might change her mind about going to St. Louis. Dziok, however, indicated that the cancellation was connected to her recovery.

1. My niece and I were watching the local news when this story came on

It's all very vague about why she's in the hospital. We're betting it has to do with finally getting her meds adjusted.

[Fuzz]

3. Mmmmm, adjusted meds.

;)

[lunatica]

8. If she starts making sense we'll know it was the meds

[RagAss]

33. First sign of the problem was her making sense.

[SpiralHawk]

37. Drying out?

That's kind of a republicon Family Values tradition.

[proud2BlibKansan]

2. Hmmm. I'd guess a quickie abortion but she's too old to get pregnant.

[napi21]

4. Gotta love the undisclosed illness thing! I wonder if she'll ever say why? nt

[lbrtbell]

17. Probably stuck her tongue in an electric socket

She DOES have the mentality of a three-year-old, after all....

[zazen]

5. well, I can wish her body well and hope that her soul can find more enduring recovery

I detest her politics, but I will try to relate to her as a human being and pray for her health, as that's the "politic" I pray she begins to have for the rest of humanity.

[Bitwit1234]

36. Yes she does have a body but I believe with all my heart she

never had a soul, just a sloushy mixture of stupid and evil.

[AnArmyVeteran]

6. Was it a botched brain surgery?

Naaa, it can't be that. Ya gotta have a brain to have brain surgery.

[DFW]

9. No, that happened just before she was sworn in as a member of the House

As is evident, she never recovered.

[AnArmyVeteran]

13. Yeah, I know. I'm torn between empathy & hatred. Okay, I pick hatred!

[pinboy3niner]

10. I suspect she was behind on her electroshock treatments

That would explain a lot... :evilgrin:

:hi:

[AnArmyVeteran]

14. You want to chip in to help her with the next treatment (if we can control the machine!)

I wish I could have been in charge of shock machine!

:hi: pinbboy3niner!

[pinboy3niner]

16. Perhaps we could find a Nurse Ratchet to give her the TLC she deserves.

I wouldn't go so far as wishing her a 'Cuckoo's Nest' solution (that would be wrong, and 'Chief' is long gone). I wish her nothing but good health--and ignominious political defeat. :)

[malaise]

19. The Clinton wedding sent her over the edge

she over-dosed on her meds.

[pinboy3niner]

22. The consensus seems to be that her problems are basically psychiatric

But the Jungians and the Freudians continue to fight over who gets her. Everybody in the mental health field wants to be able to publish their study of the new Sybil--and to name a new DSM disorder. :)

[dionysus]

20. thanks for reminding me about that book\movie. i need to watch it now...

[AnArmyVeteran]

23. Yeah, me too. Who Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest was very intense...

One of the greatest movies ever. I still remember how I felt and where I was when I saw that movie. And I still hate Nurse Ratchet. I want to see Bachmann very, very well because she is the gift that keeps on giving. She's a bottomless pit of gaffes, blunders and insane rants. She's a democratic treasure!


BTW, in the movie, Kirk Douglas owned the rights to it for years and was going to star in the movie. But by the time the movie was finally made he was too old for the main character. His son, Michael Douglas assumed the rights from his dad and he proceeded to make the movie, but starring Jack Nicholson.

[pinboy3niner]

27. I love the movie, too. It was the subject of my college admission essay!

The theme is obviously anti-authoritarian, but I focused more on the element of principled self-sacrifice.

Thanks for the background. I'm counting my blessings that Nicholson got the role! :)

[AnArmyVeteran]

28. Yeah, no one could have played that role as brilliantly!

[AnArmyVeteran]

7. Duplicate!

[Mister Ed]

11. I think ill of her, but I wish her no ill. I guess I hope she's okay. n/t

[Maru Kitteh]

12. Thumper's mama says.... "If you can't say somethin' nice... don't say nothin' at all."

:+

[PCIntern]

32. "If you can't say something nice,

come over here and sit by me..."

[kenny blankenship]

15. Did her eyeballs finally pop out?

[upi402]

18. Can't be heart bypass or a neurological disorder

Woman has neither heart nor brain. Ah well, I'll pray for her






































...to fall mouth first into a vat of superglue!
:evilgrin:

[dionysus]

21. a vat of molten steel would be best.

:evilgrin:

[Contrary1]

24. Glad to see she got good medical care...

Meanwhile, my brother who had bypass surgery 2 months ago, sits at home while the powers that be try to decide what to do with his heart that is only pumping at 50% capacity.

[stevedeshazer]

25. Weakling. Quitter. Loser.

Stunt girl.

[EC]

26. Well, I guess if she couldn't hide behind the bushes again

she'd just get sick and beg off...I wonder if she promised Blunt a rain date?

[Historic NY]

29. Did she have that foot extracted from her mouth?

[tanyev]

30. Fortunately for her, she has good insurance provided by taxpayers.

[KharmaTrain]

31. Surgeons Attempted To Remove Her Head From Her Ass...

...they failed. :rofl:

[pinboy3niner]

34. LOL!

I think you may have just won the thread. :rofl:

[political_Dem]

35. Was it an actual hospital or the crazy house?

With Bachmann, an "illness" could have several meanings. ;)

[marmar]

38. I wish her a speedy recovery and an even speedier exit from office this November.

[Vickers]

39. That socialized medicine is pretty good, huh? n/t
