Bachman Just Can't Help Herself

Congressional procedures can be a bit tricky and often counter-productive. But, take a look at what Michelle Bachman does during Rep. Neil Abercrombie's (D-HI) introduction of a resolution recognizing the 50th anniversary of Hawaii becoming the 50th state of the U.S.



Not only has the crazy cat lady from Minnesota just shed more light onto her own insanity, but she's willing to drag as many Republican congressional members into what would have been a simple resolution so that they will have to vote one way or the other.

How many House Republicans do you think will vote "no"? Well, considering the language of the resolution, it's fair to say that Bachman won't be alone in this one.

Rep. Neil Abercrombie (D-HI) introduced a resolution commemorating the 50th anniversary of Hawaii’s statehood. The resolution also proclaims the state as President Obama’s birthplace, a point the Plum Line’s Greg Sargent noted may “put House GOPers who are flirting with birtherism in a jam.” This afternoon on the House floor, Abercrombie spoke of his measure and specifically noted that Obama had been born in Hawaii.

She just doens't know when to quit, does she.
