Michele Bachmann To Start Savage Druid Cult To Combat Health Reform

American’s Sanest Congresswoman:

“This cannot pass,” the Minnesota Republican told a crowd at a Denver gathering sponsored by the Independence Institute. “What we have to do today is make a covenant, to slit our wrists, be blood brothers on this thing. This will not pass. We will do whatever it takes to make sure this doesn’t pass.”

What I find truly helps the democratic process is people swearing blood oaths to each other.  Also, I’m pretty sure more people are slated to die opposing this bill than it would actually kill, even if you accept the fact that the entire Emmanuel family will be going door to door genetically screening your children and taking the superior ones to a plant for processing. 

“Right now, we are looking at reaching down the throat and ripping the guts out of freedom,” she said. “And we may never be able to restore it if we don’t man up and take this one on.”

“What we want to do instead,” she said, stroking the snow-white cat on her lap, “is to gently seduce freedom into our chambers, and then strap it down and oil up its sweet, lithe body.”  She then excused herself for an uncomfortably long 17 minute period, after which she returned, flushed, sweaty and a little bit giggly.  Then she ate a raw chicken breast and screamed, “VICTOOOOORY!”

It is not known if Bachmann will be returning to the House before the winter solstice.

Look, if a lunatic acts like a lunatic one can’t blame the lunatic; one blames the doctors who released the lunatic.  In that spirit I blame the 46.41% of voters in her district that voted for her.  That makes them either stupid or crazy. 

Tangent:
Her district has 614,935 people in it.  That makes it bigger in population than Wyoming or Vermont, and in the same league as North Dakota and Alaska.  Weird as she is it is even more weird that so many people can directly elect only one congresscritter, but any of those four states can directly elect two senators each.  Batshit crazy system.

Every voter in Minnesota’s Sixth Congressional District who voted for this lunatic should go home tonight, and punch themselves in the face.

Comment #2: CHV  on  09/01  at  12:42 PM

Dear lord.  She really is running for mayor of Crazytown, isn’t she?

Palin/Bachmann 2012

If there really is a God, this will be who the Republicans nominate next time.

Please, oh please, oh please let them actually nominate those two.  It would make Reagan’s 1984 victory seem razor thin by comparison.

Comment #4: DTG in STL  on  09/01  at  12:54 PM

I’m OK with the slitting wrists part.  You go ahead, Michelle; I’ll just watch.

Comment #5: Blue Jean  on  09/01  at  01:02 PM

Remember: Down, not across.

Comment #6: NBarnes  on  09/01  at  01:11 PM

“Dear lord.  She really is running for mayor of Crazytown, isn’t she?”

...which is plenty bad enough. 

And then you break out in a cold sweat when you realize that 25% of America wants to live in Crazytown with some nutcase like Bachmann as mayor…

Comment #7: MikeEss  on  09/01  at  01:19 PM

BTW, Bachmann has my vote as “Most Likely to Become Serena Joy When America Becomes Gilead”...

Comment #8: MikeEss  on  09/01  at  01:29 PM

Bachmann is mad every election night that they don’t let her decapitate her opponent, salt the head, and nail it to her doorpost. It’s what the kids call “kickin’ it old school.”

Comment #9: histro-geek  on  09/01  at  01:40 PM

“And then you break out in a cold sweat when you realize that 25% of America wants to live in Crazytown with some nutcase like Bachmann as mayor…”

I always thought of it as more that 25% of America already lives in Crazytown, and the fight’s over who gets to wear the crazy-pants and be Crazy-Moses.  I mean, there’s something like 12% of the electorate that can be relied upon to vote for “Lizard People” if you put that on the ballot.  Their ancestors founded the place, felling primordial sanityquoias and clearing acres and acres of logic-scrub for their funny farms.  Their great-grandfathers built the Crazytown Municipal Dam, their great-grandmothers stocked and staffed the Loopy J. Looneysworth Memorial Public Library, and come hell or flood waters from the Rio Loco, they’re not leaving.

Comment #10: preying mantis  on  09/01  at  01:44 PM

Michelle Bachmann plans to slit her wrists? That’s a plan I can get behind!

Comment #11: Jerry Vinokurov  on  09/01  at  01:53 PM

What does it look like inside her skull?

Comment #12: Magis  on  09/01  at  02:00 PM

Palin/Bachmann 2012

If there really is a God, this will be who the Republicans nominate next time.

And if God really really has gotten tired of the US taking Her name in vain - they’ll win.

Comment #13: Phoenician in a time of Romans  on  09/01  at  02:12 PM

For some reason I’m reminded of the scene with the balor in LotR. YOU SHALL NOT PASS!

Comment #14: Entomologista  on  09/01  at  02:14 PM

You mean the balrog? 

I think histro-geek is both right and awesome.

Comment #15: lonespark  on  09/01  at  02:20 PM

“something like 12% of the electorate that can be relied upon to vote for “Lizard People” if you put that on the ballot.”

Dont knock the Saurian Party, our platform of gov subsidized heated rocks is far more sensible ten anything Glen Beck spouts

Comment #16: jefft452  on  09/01  at  02:36 PM

“Dont knock the Saurian Party, our platform of gov subsidized heated rocks is far more sensible ten anything Glen Beck spouts”

Besides, as long as they can present American birth certificates, and are not therefore Kenyan mooslims, it’s all good.

And it’s not fair to blame today’s reptiles for the actions of their dinosaur ancestors.  We should be able to look past their heritage and embrace who they are now.

And you know what they say: Once you go cold blooded, you never go back…

Comment #17: MikeEss  on  09/01  at  02:50 PM

reaching down the throat and ripping the guts out

More of this coming soon. Now that they’ve just about burned through all of the reely extreme bad names they can call us, apparently they will next fluff their followers’ rage-boners with graphically violent imagery- literally screaming bloody murder.

Comment #18: tb  on  09/01  at  02:51 PM

You mean the balrog?

Well, Entomologista could also be referrring to the Type V Demon from the 1st edition D & D, which was named Balor but was basically an off brand Balrog with its horns and fetish for multiheaded whips.

Comment #19: Dr. Locrian  on  09/01  at  02:56 PM

Maybe Bachmann can urge her “followers” to go into town and smash the windows and loot the businesses of Unreal Americans.  Do it at night and we can call it Night of the Broken Glass or something poetic like that…

Comment #20: MikeEss  on  09/01  at  02:57 PM

Geeze, Dr Locrian, you still have you Elf Fighter/Mage character sheet filed away or something?

Bachmann is as useless as a d12.

Comment #21: cynickal  on  09/01  at  03:03 PM

D12 useless?  But then your long sword would have still done only 1d8 against size L critters!

And Baldric was a human Thief, thank you very much. wink

Comment #22: Dr. Locrian  on  09/01  at  03:11 PM

Bachmann is as useless as a d12.

Take that back!  d12s are great for rolling random dates!

Comment #23: Denise  on  09/01  at  03:12 PM

“And you know what they say: Once you go cold blooded, you never go back…”

Nobody says that.

Comment #24: preying mantis  on  09/01  at  03:22 PM

d12 tangent… we generally keep them stashed in the “barbarian’s box o’ shame…”

but maybe it’s not so o/t after all, what with all the cryptic talk of bloodletting.  I wonder if Bachmann is really just a closet former d&d;geek going a little too far in trying to get over all those “satanic influences”...?

Comment #25: jamie d  on  09/01  at  03:31 PM

If Bachmann is starting a druid cult, then someone has to stop her before she learns the spell Creeping Doom.  It’s Game Over if she knows that one!

Just keep her at first level when all she can do is cast Shillelagh and bonk you over the head with a +1 club.

Comment #26: Dr. Locrian  on  09/01  at  03:34 PM

FYI, I emailed portions of this thread to a couple of friends of mine.  And I would like to quote one of the responses:  “It was a Type VI demon.  All Pandagon commenters are useless.”

I believe you have been TOLD.

Comment #27: Siobhan  on  09/01  at  03:45 PM

Well… in 4th Edition, there is no Shillelagh spell (I think, anyway). Even at first level in the current rules she’ll be able to Wild Shape, though.

Comment #28: Matthew, Patron Saint of Affogato  on  09/01  at  03:46 PM

ven at first level in the current rules she’ll be able to Wild Shape, though.

Michelle Bachmann Wild Shapes at the drop of a hat.

Any.  Hat.

Comment #29: Siobhan  on  09/01  at  03:54 PM

D’oh!  I believe Type V was Marilith.  Or was it Nalfashee?  I knew I should have wiki’d it!  I’m relying on my creaky memories of AD & D, which I haven’t owned in decades.  Too busy playing Call of Cthulhu.

Comment #30: Dr. Locrian  on  09/01  at  03:55 PM

I was reminded not of LoTR or D&D;but of Monty Python & The Holy Grail..

“None shall pass!” - The Black Kuh-nig-ette

Of course later came the classic response “You’re a loony!”, which also applies quite well here.

Comment #31: MReap  on  09/01  at  03:55 PM

Can’t we just designate one of the 50 states as the Rapture Ranch and let Bachmann and her kind assemble there and live happily ever after?

Comment #32: Gizmo  on  09/01  at  04:10 PM

Gizmo, we can’t surround them, ‘cause they surround us!...

Comment #33: MikeEss  on  09/01  at  04:12 PM

The shame of not being able to recall obscure D&D;trivia whenever required is one we can live with, thank you.

Comment #34: Phoenician in a time of Romans  on  09/01  at  04:18 PM

Palin/Bachmann 2012

Great, their campaign song could be the tribal ululating that sounds in Tracy Flick’s head whenever she perceives a threat.

Comment #35: tb  on  09/01  at  04:32 PM

Dur. Getting my mythical worlds mixed up again.

Also, I roll a d12 for hp on my Wild Elf Warblade. So there!

Comment #36: Entomologista  on  09/01  at  04:32 PM

If Bachmann runs for president, and we’re looking for maximum entertainment value, there is a Republican Representative from Ohio named Mike Turner who would make a great running mate.  I’m just saying.

Comment #37: bananacat  on  09/01  at  04:33 PM

Also, d12 is useful in real life when you need to make a decision between 12 or 11 different options.  Sometimes I use mine to decide what to have for dinner until I get down to 10 options and switch over to the d10.

Comment #38: bananacat  on  09/01  at  04:37 PM

“It was a Type VI demon.  All Pandagon commenters are useless.”

Nu-uh… because the Tanar’ri (of which the Balor makes up, Demonkin unlike Devilkin) are vulnerable to acid attacks according to 2nd Ed rules. And I find some of the snarky comments in this thread to be quite caustic!

Comment #39: Mighty Ponygirl  on  09/01  at  04:48 PM

Poor D12… all alone, so useless.

You hear that D12? That’s the big D6 popular crowd having a party. Must be playing Shadowrun again.

Comment #40: BlackBloc  on  09/01  at  04:50 PM

I was never that impressed with Shadowrun’s wonky pastiche of high fantasy and technomancy.  Two great tastes that combine into a shame-fueled vomit parade.  No elves with lazer rifles thx.

Comment #41: stogoe  on  09/01  at  05:05 PM

In any conversation of the d12, this comic is necessary: Here

Comment #42: Cerberus  on  09/01  at  05:07 PM

Lizard People?

Are we talking V or Cthulhu here?

I seriously don’t understand how Bachman and Schlafly and their ilk don’t get the Serena Joy Problem.  No matter how super special snowflaky they are, they are still WOMEN, and will be disenfranchised when Gilead comes to pass.

Fthagn, Bachman.

Comment #43: Caren-Sun-blocking Creator of Animorphic Pancakes  on  09/01  at  05:09 PM

And it’s not fair to blame today’s reptiles for the actions of their dinosaur ancestors.

Minor nitpick: anything with “dinosaur ancestors” would be a bird. Of course, birds are still *technically* reptiles…

I for one welcome our feathered overlords.

Comment #44: Devonian  on  09/01  at  05:28 PM

Geeze, Dr Locrian, you still have you Elf Fighter/Mage character sheet filed away or something?

Bachmann is as useless as a d12.

I think OotS said it best. Most of us don’t use the d12. They guy who does—you know, the barbarian? Prone to bouts of rage and subsequent asskicking? Wielding the big fucking axe?—is the guy you REALLY don’t want to piss off.

Comment #45: StarStorm  on  09/01  at  05:50 PM

As a descendant of the Druids, I’m offended by this comparison.  LOL

Comment #46: shartheheretic  on  09/01  at  08:39 PM

Praying mantis wins at #10.

And just to maintain some geek cred, Balor (of the Evil Eye) was, of course, the leader of the Fomori in Irish mythology.
