The Strangely Possesed

Does anyone remember Humphrey Bogart as Captain Queeg in The Caine Mutiny? You may have thought that the strangely possessed only appear on the big screen.  Well, guess again.

 

Congresswoman  Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) said Tuesday she does not want the United States to be part of the “global economy.”  Asked for her thoughts on the recent G-20 summit in Toronto, Bachmann said that she is concerned that the decade-old G-20 is trying to “bind together the world’s economies.” 

That is, of course, the purpose of the G-20 in an increasingly interconnected world — a statement from the G-20 on the international group’s website says it was designed to “bring together systemically important industrialized and developing economies to discuss key issues in the global economy.”

This is not the first time the Congresswoman has said some outrageous things.  On Chris Matthews Show, Hardball she said there should be an investigation to expose members of Congress who are pro and anti-American.

Then there is Rand Paul who questions the Civil Rights Act of 1964  and wants the borders open to everyone.

Paul apparently is following advise to stay clear of the media.  Bachmann seems to revel in her strange fame.
