Something To Look Forward To

The Minnesota Star-Tribune reports:

Should Republicans take back the House in November, Rep. Michele Bachmann said she wants the GOP to focus all of its attention on issuing subpoenas and holding hearings investigating the Obama administration and Democrats.

“I think that’s all we should do,” Bachmann said at the GOP Youth Convention in Washington on Thursday. “I think all we should do is issue subpoenas and have one hearing after another and expose all the nonsense that has gone on.”

Bachmann said that Republicans have all their chips on the table in November. “This is the year — this is it,” she said.

What ‘nonsense’ would that be? Running for president while a legal citizen of Kenya? Getting elected on the back of ACORN fraud? Setting up death panels to kill grandma? Setting faux Black Panthers loose on Center City voters? Violating the Tenth Amendment? Going Galt without a boarding pass?

I wonder if members of Congress who are defeated in elections are allowed to collect unemployment insurance. I’d like to see Michele Bachmann lose her job, that’s for sure. Otherwise, she might be spending next year shooting watermelons in her back yard.
