Michelle Bachman is on the verge of a total mental meltdown. The speaker of the house needs

to pull her and require a mandatory psychiatric evaluation before she returns to the floor. What is next? Will she one day stand on the floor and open fire with a bushmaster on everyone present? It could happen after looking at her behavior.

Minnesotans electing her, but the GOP doesn't have to let her have access to national secrets. Really scary.

His drinking has made him a poor leader. Rachel had it right that he's bad at his job and he's bad at his job because his brain isn't functioning properly because of his alcoholism. I'm sure anyone else would have reined her in a long time ago even a Republican, a sober one. Who takes charge if the Speaker can't fulfill his duties? I can't seem to find out through Google.

for this country which affect the lives of millions are
allowed to go to work inebriated, year after year.

I'd like to see a major shakedown of drug and alcohol
use among politicians and their lackeys.

I am not opposed to drug and alcohol use but when
judgement is being impaired at work, this shouldn't
be acceptable.

Probably the House Majority Leader would step in (but he wouldn't be in the presidential succession chain; that's statutory, and specifies that the Senate President pro tem follows the Speaker.) Cantor is the majority leader, but he wouldn't intervene with Bachmann, since he's as nuts as she is.....

There are clinically in fucking sane people in government and on the superior court that need help now .

This is how civilizations crumble , sometimes I can laugh at these people but then start to worry.
