Un,un, Greg you are confusing doing nothing with doing nothing constructive.

MB has certainly done the latter but she has provided so much entertainment for us that she can’t be accused of the former.

Besides, the folks that voted for her clearly want a batshit fundie like them doing what she’s doing – namely a heck of a job.

The way that i read Greg’s post is not that he relied on Tarryl Clark’s statement as the basis for the post, Ray. He added it for emphasis. I am not sure what your complaint was, but I am glad that you looked into it further.

Ray (and others), if you don’t want to take Bachmann’s opponent’s word for it, then let her voting record speak for itself:

There are plenty more where those came from.

I love the use of the past tense in describing the situation with Minnesota’s Republican governor. Though he has more than a year left in his term, he is definitely no longer in office in any meaningful sense.

George Will had an editorial in the Austin newspaper about what a great congressperson she is.

I’m sure the people who voted for her think she’s doing a fine job for this very reason.

I meant to imply that one should always check the sources. In this case, the quoted source is a political opponent. How trustworthy is that source?

I just questioned the use of a political opponent's letter, not whether or not it was correct.

Emphasis added in both cases. Ray, please let a few comments pass before you contradict yourself.

It was checked and found to be correct.
What is your point?

@ Greg,

Yes, I read the links. Rep Bachmann is most likely not the best representative in Congress.
