So, the hard-left media is all a-dither over Michele Bachman’s headaches.
Oh, yes: We must get to the bottom of THIS–, and quickly, too! Not a moment to spare, before she gains more traction. If there’s one mission the leftist-media complex must pursue with dogged, rabid determination, it’s that NO strong, accomplished conservative woman should ever be allowed to peer above the fox-hole: They must be destroyed at all costs.
Including coherent reportage.
Yep, Michele Bachman gets migraines. These headaches, evidently, send her scurrying for the Ralpax. And, of course, the nearly-silent whispers are that she is menopausal. Can you imagine? This alone should scuttle any conservative woman between the age of 45 and 70. Whatever you do, don’t let Sarah Palin into the White House when she’s getting a hot flash! She might nuke the the world.
But, I guess it’s all on the table now. The hardcore Leninist Left must investigate everything.
Except, of course, Barack Obama’s past cocaine use that evidently was so out of control his is still hiding his medical records and college transcripts. That is off the table. Certainly no investigative reporter over at ABC has any interest in that, er, youthful indiscretion.
Also off-limits is John Kennedy’s Addison’s disease, that, by 1963 was so advanced that it was outstripping the ability of his cortisone injections to manage it well. But, hey, the press hid that from everyone– even though John Connolly knew about it as early as 1959, and tried to bring it up as a campaign issue, but was, er, “prevailed upon” to drop it, if he wanted any support from from Lyndon Johnson in Mr. Connolly’s quest to be Texas governor. Nope; that Addison’s was really just the hero of PT-109 suffering from another flare-up in his Malaria. Wink, wink.
And what of Landslide Lyndie? He suffered from debilitating gall bladder attacks, and even suffered from them during the 1964 campaign. Did he ever miss a vote after a greasy breakfast, I wonder? They would double him over, and sideline him for hours at a time. I would assume, by the new standard being applied to Mrs. Bachmann that this would certainly disqualify a conservative woman. But, not a leftist iconic Senatorial maestro like LBJ.
Likewise, I assume the stroke that Woodrow Wilson suffered would instantly disqualify Mrs. Bachmann. But, when you are trying to shoehorn the United States into some grand, trans-national liberal fantasy organization like the League of Nations, like Wilson was, then, the likes of ABC News would have no interest in plumbing the depths of the severity of President Wilson’s stroke. No; they’d just let Edith Galt politely check them at the door of the White House, and they’d walk away pleased that at least they’d they’d tried to get an audience with the great Progressive Wilson.
And certainly polio would disqualify Michele Bachman. It merits a portion of the Roosevelt memorial in Washington, DC, though, for the great Lion of Leftisim, Franklin Roosevelt. We certainly wouldn’t want to investigate too thoroughly the severity of Roosevelt’s various maladies, either, when he was going after a fourth Democrat nomination in 1944. Why, even though he had to sit down to deliver a message to a joint session of congress after the summit at Yalta, that was no reason to suspect he wasn’t up to the task of the Presidency. No, sir. But, if Michele Bachmann has to sit down because her head hurts, that disqualifies her. I think FDR actually died of a headache, but, we’ll let that one go…
Would a diagnosis of cancer sideline Michele Bachmann? Well, certainly, in the fevered minds of the Left. But, it cast a near-angelic halo over Paul Tsongas when he campaigned in 1988 and 1992 as a survivor of non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Did he ever miss a vote in because of chemotherapy, I wonder? And, cancer didn’t sideline the Democrat Grover Cleveland, either, who campaigned stridently against the Sherman act in 1892, and, even though he knew he had something seriously wrong with his mouth, didn’t ever reveal the surgery to remove a verrucous carcinoma in early 1893. Passage of a gold-purchase scheme was as important to the Democrats’ fantasies of an ever-expanding government at the end of the 19th century as unending deficit spending is today at the beginning of the 21st.
No, we must make sure to destroy any conservative woman. They are a menace. But these amazing, brilliant, iconic leaders from the Left must be guarded and protected ad infinitum.
No questions asked.

emmi (Diary) Saturday, July 23rd at 1:26AM EDT (link)you didn’t expect him to WORK did you lol! It’s just too much fun for him spending all of our hard earned money and collapseing this great country..he’s rather useless and never really has had a real job! omustgo! Loved the pic!
This article pretty much nails it.
BA Cyclone (Diary) Thursday, July 21st at 8:49AM EDT (link)I say this whole ‘migraine’ angle brings “much ado about nothing” and “picking pepper out of flea excrement” to new states of LOW.
I’ll quote here the real punchline of the article for easy viewing pleasure:
That is some excellent perspective.
“If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the General Welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one, possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one, subject to particular exceptions.” — James Madison
“Electing Republicans who don’t have the courage of their convictions may be easier in some circumstances, but it won’t save our country.” — Jim DeMint

CHARACTER
postanalog Thursday, July 21st at 3:06PM EDT (link)To me, Pawlenty’s groundless attack on Michele Bachman shows serious lack of character. I wonder if EE still thinks highly of him?
So Ms. Bachmann takes migraine medication.
chbroussard (Diary) Thursday, July 21st at 3:30PM EDT (link)Let’s see what the rest of the House and Senate members are taking. Anyone taking:
1) Blood pressure medicine?
2) Cholesterol medicine?
3) Blood thinners?
4) Daily aspirin therapy?
5) Viagra?
And I thought the attacks against Sarah Palin were bad. This goes beyond pathetic,
I would bet Biden is on all 5!

When John Kerry Ran ,
funwithknives Thursday, July 21st at 4:35PM EDT (link)He was asked time and time again for Public release of his Military Medical records to verify (or discount) all his many claims.of being wounded enough to get 3 Purple Hearts. Not one month prior to election he stated publically this would occur. We’ve never seen them and no one I am aware of ever pushed him for their presentation, no doubt because few remember a Loser’s promises.
As an Aside I really enjoy C C ‘s Posts, and it is a real plus he is a Michigan Boy. “SALUD!”
And didn't Obama do drugs

Yep he did

FDR?????? NOT a good model!
staunch_woman Saturday, July 23rd at 12:00AM EDT (link)But FDR ruled in an era when the press colluded with the White House to conceal his condition. We don’t want to go back to that time.
Didn't Albert Einstien get frequent migraines?
lastgopinillinois (Diary) Saturday, July 23rd at 1:00AM EDT (link)Nobodys perfect.
AGAIN I say we should all put the word out to boycott all the liberal media TV programming.
If enough patriots follow suit, their ratings may fall so hard they wont be able to broadcast. Would you advertise on a station nobody watches?
In the beginning, God created earth to be an extension of his vast Kingdom and his LOVE was so great that he wanted to share it with man, whom he created in his own image and likeness and gave him free will.
To this very principal, the Founding Fathers of our nation decreed that freedom is a God-given in-alienable right of all the people.
And I think Barack Obama suffers from
izoneguy (Diary) Saturday, July 23rd at 4:54PM EDT (link)Grandiose delusion or delusions of grandeur – a subtype of delusional disorder (GD) that can occur as a wide range of mental illness, including in two thirds of those in manic state of bipolar disorder, half those with schizophrenia and a substantial portion of those with substance abuse disorders. GDs are characterized by fantastical beliefs that one is famous, omnipotent, wealthy, or otherwise very powerful. The delusions are generally fantastic and typically have a supernatural, science-fictional, or religious theme. There is a relative lack of research into GD, in comparison to persecutory delusions and auditory hallucinations.
Those who had once simpered: “I don’t want to destroy the rich, I only want to seize a little of their surplus to help the poor, just a little, they’ll never miss it!” – then, later, had snapped: “The tycoons can stand being squeezed; they’ve amassed enough to last them for three generations” – then, later, had yelled: “Why should the people suffer while businessmen have reserves to last a year?” – now were screaming: “Why should we starve while some people have reserves to last a week?” – Atlas Shrugged
Thomas Jefferson suffered debilitating migraines
deweyfromdetroit (Diary) Monday, July 25th at 2:13PM EDT (link)And let the record reflect, he managed somehow to be a fairly decent President. Even though they didn’t have any medical marvels like triptans back in the 18th century.
I suspect Michelle Bachmann could win a debate hands down against her Lefty critics even with a double migraine.
Could be that, like Sarah Palin, she’s just smarter than they are because she doesn’t read newspapers.
“The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.”
Thomas Jefferson
