...as Michele Bachmann is becoming known, has now started a Tea Party Caucus in the U. S. House of Representatives. (As Jerry Seinfeld would say, "This isn't going to end well.")The Caucus has already attracted 28 Republicans, including such party luminaries as Mike Pence of Indiana (who couldn't quite bring himself to tell Chris Matthews on "Hardball" that he subscribed to that newfangled theory going around nowadays -- I think it's called "evolution"), Joe "I'm sorry, BP" Barton of Texas, Phil Gingrey of Georgia (who famously apologized to Rush Limbaugh after having the gall to suggest that the radio personality might not be the leader of the GOP), Steve King of Iowa (who's still not convinced that the president was born in Hawaii), Joe "You lie!" Wilson of South Carolina, and Pete Sessions of Texas (who couldn't for the life of him tell David Gregory of Meet the Press Sunday where -- anywhere -- he'd cut federal spending, despite promising to balance the budget if the Republicans took over Congress in November).
Forgetting this collection of, ahem, personalities for a moment, ask yourself this question: can you imagine being a member of anything that had Michele Bachmann as its leader?
