Bachmann rebuffs Bush’s advances.
At the 2007 State of the Union address, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) infamously gripped onto President Bush’s shoulder until he gave her “a kiss and an embrace.” Yesterday, Bachmann boasted to a MN radio station that at the scene of the recent bridge collapse, Bush tried to “embrace” and “kiss” her once again:
The President and I enjoy a great relationship. When he and I were back visiting the collapsed bridge, he reached over because he wanted to give me a kiss when we were down at the site, and I had pulled back and he said, “What? You don’t want to embrace?” And I said, “The people of Minnesota love you Mr. President, but I think one kiss was enough.”

September 20th, 2007 at 8:51 pmWhere Bachmann is concerned, one kiss was one too many.
Where Bachmann is concerned, one election victory is one too many.
She’ll be a mediocre one-termer so she should concentrate on getting all the loving she can in the meantime. The only things that separate her from Katherine Harris are (1) her boob job isn’t as good and (2) she wears less make-up.
September 20th, 2007 at 8:55 pmThis woman has issues. Glad to hear they were playing kissy flirty at the site of a tragedy even while bodies were still unrecovered. Hey, at least he didn’t move in for a shoulder massage.
September 20th, 2007 at 9:06 pmThis reminds me of Janene Garafalo’s “Katherine Harris” on the Sam Seder show.
“I came on the show to tell you I am not talkin’ to you.”
September 20th, 2007 at 9:15 pmThey’re made for each other.
September 20th, 2007 at 9:19 pmoh god… i was so embarrassed for womenkind
September 20th, 2007 at 9:21 pmwhen i watched her fawning over him that night…
ugh…
glad she wised up…
.
First Bush ’s groping Merkel, and now this.
Laura ’s prescriptions must make her unresponsive to Bush’s amorous advances, and frat boy that he is, he’s now abusing the help. Since one side effect is increased sexual urges, perhaps he can score some restless leg meds from Larry Craig, and slip it to his wife.
September 20th, 2007 at 9:24 pmkaty,
I doubt she wised up. She just managed to re-focus on her own self-interests. ;)
September 20th, 2007 at 9:26 pmOh well. The Chimp still has Joe Lieberman to hug and kiss and rub his scent upon.
September 20th, 2007 at 9:31 pmbarfly – really?
;-)
zooey – no doubt…
September 20th, 2007 at 9:31 pmas soon as i hit “post”, i thought “did she?” (wise up)…
i think someone’s got the “i’m-so-hot-no-man-can-resist-me-itis”
save it mrs. matressback, ya ain’t that hot, and dubbie doesn’t really want you.
September 20th, 2007 at 9:33 pmMrs Mattressback…..priceless. :D
May I use that, tombaker?
September 20th, 2007 at 9:40 pmAnyone who dares to kiss Joe Lieberman is going to be rejected by right thinking human beings. I don’t care if Lieberman has a “wide stance”.
September 20th, 2007 at 9:47 pmReally? You, too, Michele?
And I thought t was only me and Barney.
September 20th, 2007 at 9:53 pmImagine, if you will, how completely ape-shit the media would be going over this is these were “liberals”
September 20th, 2007 at 9:58 pmThank God. And here I was clutching my pearls afraid that we wouldn’t have someone in the House to replace Katherine Harris.
September 20th, 2007 at 10:02 pmby all means, zooey.
September 20th, 2007 at 10:04 pmOne-term congresswoman.
September 20th, 2007 at 10:07 pmAw, go ahead Bachman….egg him one some more. Then when he does the dirty deed, he can be easily impeached because, in this country, what one does with his pecker is far more deleterious and criminal than lying repeatedly to the american people to engage them into an illegal occupation. Sure, have at it so we can get on with the impeachment proceedings.
September 20th, 2007 at 10:13 pmOr maybe Chimpy’s getting ready for the days when Barney will be all he’s got left and Laura has flown the coop?
September 20th, 2007 at 10:14 pmMaybe we can hold Bachman responsible now (since she refused his advances) for “obstruction of justice”? JK!
September 20th, 2007 at 10:15 pmDo all Republicans eat with their mouths open? It looks so dumb.
September 20th, 2007 at 10:16 pmIn the photo, Bush looks like he’s eating with his mouth open again, and tossing back his head to make the food go down his throat.
September 20th, 2007 at 10:18 pmShe was for the kiss before she was against it.

Could he be from “V”?
September 20th, 2007 at 10:39 pmI would be surprised if someone gets that connection…..
I really wish I hadn’t seen this right after I finished eating dinner.
September 20th, 2007 at 10:41 pmBachmann, you are one creepy bible-thumpin’ skank.
September 20th, 2007 at 10:57 pmKissing shrubya,
OH MAN, GROSS ME OUT, AND TWICE AROUND THE BLOCK!!!!
September 20th, 2007 at 11:23 pmoh boy… just wait…
the wingers are gonna have a field day…
bill clinton on the daily show made a joke about
slitting his throat if hillary is president…
hoo boy… mark my words… it’s gonna bite them…
even jon was shocked…
good recovery, but rather weird at the time…
and all things considered, gawd i miss that president…
September 20th, 2007 at 11:31 pm.
To me, everything Bush says is tainted and wrong. His looks creep me out. He scores 10 on the wrongometer.
September 20th, 2007 at 11:33 pmI’m sorry, but no one. NO ONE. Not even the Shrub says “What, you don’t want to embrace?” No way.
It’s interesting that she practically groped him back in January and now it’s all “Huh uh. Nothing for you, lame duck.” Shows how low he’s sunk when he can’t even get a little action from the psychoslut.
And, really, this is good. I couldn’t live with the image of Bush getting any. And what would we call it? Bill has the Clenis, which even sounds kind of southern, but the Benis? The Bushenis? Shrubenis? Dubyenis? Georgenis?
Ick. I like it best knowing that Republicans can’t get laid without paying for it.
September 20th, 2007 at 11:37 pmHow romantic. Hugs and kisses while America’s infrastructure collapses in the background.
September 20th, 2007 at 11:51 pmJust to take a trip down memory lane, YouTube has the now-famous video of Bachmann clinging on to Pres Bush, like a groupie to a rock star.
See for yourselves.
(I am still undecided. Is it pathetic, or mildly comical?)
September 21st, 2007 at 12:01 amGroper in Chief: Here let me cup that tight butt of yours.
Gropie: Uh, no thanks, I saw what happened to the last person you shuck hands with.

September 21st, 2007 at 12:43 amNo need to worry about Laura she already filed her divorce papers in Texas and when Bush leaves office the divorce is final. Now it’s funny that Americans didn’t pay attention to Bush who said during his first term that his Father asked Laura to stay in the marriage because George became President. Yes and George said he built Laura her own house. Have you noticed when Bush is at home in Texas you never see Laura in the house only Connie Rice. Court records are public and some free lance reporters have checked it out. So don’t look for Laura to have a problem with
September 21st, 2007 at 12:46 amRep. Michele Bachmann, Connie Rice or any other woman/man George goes after Laura already has a rich Texas boyfriend waiting.
Oh man, one too many anti-brain cell vodka crans tonight, Shook, I think, can’t tell now, mind is like jello, where am I, lost typing skills, mind has went repukian, all stupid like.

I ‘tink ya mean “shook”, Buckie, but “shuck” works in its own write!
September 21st, 2007 at 1:12 amSounds like a matter of Chimpy trying to prove that he isn’t gay.
Bachmann is just trying to help him “to kind of catapult the propaganda.”
September 21st, 2007 at 2:39 amListen people: compared to Katherine Harris, this is one hot woman (let Laura worry about it). Please, don’t knock her, it doesn’t do any good. Just lay back and admit the fact that “Harmonica Lewinsky” did a few hummers on Bill and it almost cost him his job. He’s a former president so, what the hell, it’s part of the fringe benefits. My point: that’s what, in my opinion, the right wingers would say if their president was caught in the same circumstance. Think about it.
September 21st, 2007 at 3:39 amUgh. That made my head hurt.
September 21st, 2007 at 4:20 amBachman doesn’t want Bush to kiss her “anymore than necessary” Is it because he is a bad kisser or, because his kisses are not well received? Me thinks it is the latter. What would Laura think? Don’t worry, Laura has someone $$$ already “lined up”. That’s what the gossip says, and who are we to say different?
September 21st, 2007 at 6:18 amWell, Condi must be hopping mad about this…
HOPPING!
September 21st, 2007 at 6:38 amShe’s seen his poll numbers…..
September 21st, 2007 at 6:49 amA perfect metaphor for the repubs…
In a nutshell: They don’t care what sort of precedent they set.
Arrogance and opportunism shall win the day in their minds…
September 21st, 2007 at 8:53 amI wouldn’t place too much value on Bush playing kissy face. He’s done it with Lieberman and the Saudi royal family too.
September 21st, 2007 at 9:41 amYeccchhhh…
September 21st, 2007 at 12:34 pmPeople died from our collapsing infrastructure that the rich greedy Repubs don’t want to fund and all Bachmann seems to care about is whether or not she’s getting a little love peck from her presidential crush.
People of Minnesota love you? GAG!
September 21st, 2007 at 1:16 pm“C’mere and give your Uncle Dubya a kiss! *urp*”
September 21st, 2007 at 5:10 pmWhat am I reminded of a Pepe Le Pew cartoon?
“She look everywhere for me. She find me. Then she run away. WHY?!”
