There’s a story getting buzz this morning that Michele Bachmann is subject to incapacitating migraines and that she takes a lot of medication to manage this condition. Which explains a lot, if true.
However, this story — which is heavy on innuendo — is coming from Tucker Carlson’s Daily Caller. Very interesting. Might this be the Republican establishment’s way of taking Bachmann down early? I’m sure the PTBs don’t want her to be the nominee, and they don’t want her around to take the air out of the real nominee’s campaign. Steve M. recalls that the Bush campaign tried something similar against McCain in 2000, putting out stories that suggested he was unstable because of his POW experience. Which, come to think of it, explains a lot.
Maybe those migraines aren’t just migraines.
Maybe that Alien in her head is about ready to crack her thick skull open, and make his appearance.
That may also be the reason she has a hard time holding onto staff members. Who wants to be there to see that?
She must have sin in her life..She should call on the name of Jesus and repent of her sins! “By my stripes you are healed”
Angree brain eelz iz angree!
Seriously, though, this could be every Star Trek episode about malevolent parasites I’ve ever seen. It’d explain everything, really.
And I was just talking about Tucker, above. 🙂
My heart goes out to Bachmann…She’s just like Cody Jarrett…”Look Ma. I’m on top of the world”

joanr16 …In Bachmann’s case I think those would be “benevolent parasites”..They could even be powder post beetles considering she’s such a wooden blockhead.
As far a headaches go, for Bachmann…It’s a classical biblical reciprocation..As ye sow, so shall ye reap!

I didn’t see one source credited in the story, it was written by some 27y.o. young republican hack, chances are it’s total BS. If she (bachmann) can get through the primaries in third or so, I think she’ll be the VP pick, I’m hoping anyway.
Swami,
If they are in her head, I can guarantee you they ain’t gonna be the musical Beatles group, or the powder post beetles, but the dung kind.
You may be right, this may be the door that lets the GOP push Bachman through. But it seems kind of weak, honestly. This isn’t cancer or a bad ticker like McCain, it’s migraines, lots of folks have them. I’m sure with the current debt crisis and the House acting so irresponsibly, Presidential Candidate Bachman may allow the Dems to take the House, along with keeping the presidency. Ah, the TParty, the gift that keeps on giving.
Kind of OT but doesn’t it bother people that the women who have had a shot at the national office: Hillary, Palin and Bachman, have been so dragged through the mud that you can hardly recognize them. I mean, come on, why aren’t they pulling this crap on Pawlenty or Rand Paul? No chance either of those two guys beat Obama. Maybe I’m thinking of Hillary getting demonized so badly, and these other two yokels are just kind of riding along. But how soon before we get a woman of stature that will run and have a legit shot at winning?
I’ve found the episode of Monty Python’s Flying Circus that touches on the Bachmanns referring to homosexuality as enslavement and how outdated their ideas are followed by a bonus on the loony church she had to quit recently. The take away title from this episode is “Gay Boys in Bondage”.

buckyblue,
Hillary brought out the worst in people. But then, I remember some of the sh*t that Geraldine Ferraro faced – about her and her husband.
And, she has not chance, and would bring out the worst, but I’m going to dream for a second – Elizabeth Warren as a Presidential candidate – after she replaces Biden as VP candidate in ’12 and Obama wins. She’ll be the about same age as Hillary, so we might be able to have a primary battle between them in ’16.
As I said – I’m totally dreaming.
“Michelle Bachmann, a pill popper? ”
Can’t be I haven’t heard her or her big hairy husband give a speech against perscription pain killers, so it just couldn’t be……
Surprising not one word about poor old Rupert. I’d bet most here know the impact of old turtle boy and what he won, or wot won it. Masterful work by CNN, I’d love to see the check that was written. Just happened old Pierce happened to show for confusion. It had to be astronomical, hey speaking of didn’t the last space shuttle separate from ISS today? Who cares, important thing is RP’s china doll is safe at home tonight. We are half way to UK.

I wouldn’t wish migraines on anyone, but a curious connection occurred to me. There is a theory that Hildegard Von Bingen experienced severe migraines due to her descriptions of the “spirit light” and other aspects of her visions. They were interpreted, rightly or wrongly, as visions and religious epiphanies. Perhaps to those with a spiritual bent to their character, migraines can be a kind of catalyst, and trigger a transporting spiritual experience or the conviction that one has occurred.
Okay, I’m starting to scare myself.
goatherd — I used to get migraines often, when I was a lot younger — they’re gone now — and they didn’t strike me as the least bit spiritual. I remember stuffing towels into the spaces between doors and frames to keep the light out. But it’s remarkably easy to give yourself hallucinations, if that’s something you really, really want. You dont need migraines for that.
When I lived in the middle east I saw the debilitating effects of malaria, one of the causes of the debilitation being severe headaches. The onset of a bout literally flattens a person – can’t work, can’t think, can’t function. If Bachmann has migraines they could have a marked affect on her ability to function when she has a bout.
My sister had migraines too, fortunately for a short time. She described hers as starting like a bunch of flashbulbs going off, not very spiritual as you say. They do sound pretty awful. Evidently some people experience an “Aura” as others do before a seizure. Oliver Sacks wrote about Hildegard in his book, “Migraines”.
“But it’s remarkably easy to give yourself hallucination.”
She certainly seems adept at hallucinating a world in which she is qualified to be president, as are a certain percentage of the electorate. As many say in the South, SJAR (something just ain’t right).
