[Non-Sports Related] House Recall?

Would the 6th Congressional District of our beloved home state please get down to the business of finding a way to recall Michelle Bachmann? I mean, really. The embarassment of installing a former professional wrestler as Governor pales in comparison. Think about that. Jesse's victory was a humiliation, but by comparison his actual performance as a public servant was stellar. He wasn't the brightest bulb in the closet, but he knew (and admitted) his limitations, and cared enough about his reputation that he could shut his mouth from time to time when he was in over his head.

This woman, on the other hand, has become in just 1+ terms far and away the single most ridiculous member of Congress. And that's with a truly All-Star cast of crazies currently, including such luminaries as Paul Broun, James Inhofe, Roy Blount, Tom Coburn, and Jim DeMint. Remember how Jordan and the 1990's Bulls were so great that, even though the rest of the league had probably the best collection of elite teams in decades, they still crushed everyone? Magic's Lakers. Malone and Stockton's Jazz. Payton and Kemp's Sonics. Those really good Cleveland teams. Drexler and Olajuwon's Rockets. Michelle Bachmann is the 1990's Chicago Bulls of Congressional ridiculousness.

There are times when I wonder if this isn't the greatest piece of satire ever conceived. She's secretly in the employ of Stephen Colbert, isn't she? C'mon. No one is this demented.

During the election, I was often heard saying that Sarah Palin was the logical endpoint of the Republican Party's process of distillation since '94, but I'm not so sure anymore. Bachmann is the perfect admixture of total lack of self-awareness, complete party loyalty, political persecution complex, maniacal devotion and utter stupidity. She referred today to the "Hoot-Smalley" tariff act, "passed by FDR," and blamed the Depression on it. Nevermind that said legislation was signed into law by Hoover. And called the "Smoot-Hawley" tariff act.

She's even inspired a new website to document her logical atrocities. http://www.dccc.org/page/content/bachmannwatch

Can we just get rid of her already?
