Congresswoman Michele Bachmann says she will not run for re-election in 2014, ending her tenure as the representative from Minnesota's sixth congressional district after four terms.

She goes on to say...

As for her plans beyond Congress, Bachmann said, "There is no future option or opportunity, be it directly in the political arena or otherwise, that I won't be giving serious consideration if it can help save and protect our great nation."

Let me translate: "I will be working from the studio in my house that Fox News will be building for me." Unless she and her husband are too busy praying away the gay.

Yeah I instantly thought "Fox News bound"... with nonstop interviews on any Glenn Beck sponsored org/site. I guess she's finally decided to pass on the complete dumbass in congress torch to congressman Louie Gohmert.

she's got the legs to work as a fox "news babe"
 
If $istah $arah and Bat**** Bachmann were ever in the same room together the intellectual vacuum created would collapse the walls.



She said her decision wasn’t influenced by concerns about being re-elected to the House or recent inquiries regarding the campaign finances of her failed 2012 presidential campaign.

Translation: "When this **** hits the fan about how the money was spent, I won't be able to run for dog catcher and make a decent showing..."

She certainly matches the intellect of of Caribou Barbie.

yes both are far smarter than the dull witted libs claim. and far smarter than the people the dull witted libs lionize

I would say clever rather than smart. Both know when their current career is a dead-end and when they can jump ship to make more money on book tours and fox news.
 
Actually, this is good news for Republicans. Bachmann was almost defeated in her last election, despite the heavy Republican leaning of her district. No Democrat is going to have a chance in 2014 if the GOP runs a candidate who is not a lunatic.

I'm not at all surprised you would consider the two mental giants as intelligent.

Yeah, she almost lost to an underfunded Democrat that nobody had ever heard of. She wasn't making it past 2014.

Depending on the candidate, Team Blue will have a much harder time in that district. Although you never know, they might pick another loon in the primary!

Too bad, I really wanted to watch her insanity for one more election, and to see the desperation sink in as she realized it was hopeless.
 
Bachmann is a far more accomplished lawyer then the supposed legal scholar in the White House who apparently doesn't know what he had for breakfast unless it's in the news.
 
Does Michelle Bachmann's gay husband still run that Christian-based homosexuality treatment centre?

And she worked as a tax attorney for the IRS. I'm guessing she won't go without a job for long.

Who would be happier to have that fact stricken from the record: Bachman or the IRS?

I think the IRS gave up on trying to salvage its reputation... well about a week after it was formed, I'd say.

I mean seriously, how much LSD would a human being have to be on to say "Yep, I love that IRS!" Even before this latest idiocy!

having grown up around very bright people which continued most of my life (one of my suitemates in college earned a Rhodes, another is widely considered a possible GOP Supreme Court nominee, and another was a chess Grandmaster) I think I know what intelligence is. And only really stupid people would call either of those women dull or "dumb"

Must be difficult for you being around folks who have so much of what you lack?

Using Rhodes Scholar and the likes of Bachmann and Palin in the same paragraph is pretty funny stuff.

No doubt you consider Rachel Maddow to be stupid.

Pretzel logic in full view.
 
She's possibly going to run for senate against Al Franken.
